The Fairmount

"There is a homeless people problem in the building, homeless people just come in and are able to sleep on any floor through the night. Seems like Building Management couldn’t care less even after complaining no solid fix has been applied. Additionally, the second major problem is packages being stolen from the mail room. It has happened to me personally at least thrice. I also see a lot of packages being torn open in the mail room and the contents being possibly stolen. Again management takes no responsibility and is not able to apply any fix, even when there is a camera inside the mail room."

"Decent building but ever since the previous manager and maintenance tech left, it’s impossible to reach anyone here. Very frustrating. The only time management reaches out to you is to collect payment. And they use a do-not-reply business email to do so. The numbers listed in the website just go straight to voicemail and no one returns calls."

"I moved into the building in January and I am super happy with my apartment and the location. I work from home and commute to the city 2 days a week so the proximity to the Journal Square Path Train works for me. AI read a couple negative reviews but I found out the building has new owners and new Management. They have been responsive thus far and I have no complaints. So far, I am happy with my decision to live here!"

"While the building and management have flaws, the apartment I’ve lived in for the past year has been comfortable, functional and priced at value for location & amenities. The roof is beautiful, washer/dryer in unit, package room, bike room, trash rooms, elevator and parking lot - it’s difficult to come by all of these unless you’re in a luxury apartment building, which The Fairmount is not. There have been some faulty appliance issues since move in, some critters (which I’m forgiving about - we’re in a highly populated area of Jersey City next to a grocery store), and management isn’t terribly responsive or compassionate. The super is awesome, though. All in all, I am planning on continuing to live here. The comfort and location outweigh the issues in my opinion."

"Beautiful new building but managed poorly. Management is totally unresponsive to issues (major leaks in my ceilings) but sure has no problem collecting the almost 3k in rent I pay to live here. Beware and stay away if you're thinking of moving into a unit in this building."
