The Waterfront Lofts is a great place to live
It looks like my neighbors here at the Waterfront Lofts have done an excellent job countering the grammatically challenged, rambling pack of nonsense posted by one of the residents. But since I was personally libeled by name, I feel I should respond as well.
I am not on the board, but in exchange for getting a unit with a private roof deck with fabulous views, I have the unfortunate circumstance to have the hot water boiler for the complex located on it. That means that during the brief period that we were having problems with it, my neighbor (whose roof deck adjoins mine) and I were the ones to have to reset it when it went off. Because of that, we were more adversely affected than most, but neither of us are whining about it. (Speaking of which, “Me Me”, you should add a few more “me”s to your moniker so you sound ever more like a self-absorbed, whining child.) However, I take no offense at the claim that I am on the board (other than it being untrue and used pejoratively) because the board is doing an excellent job. They worked diligently to resolve that issue as they do with all of them. I have been living here since Jan ’06, and that was the only significant hot water problem I can recall, and there has not been a single hot water outage since. When the new management company was remodeling some unsold units, or if a resident renovates something involving plumbing, the water may have to be shut off temporarily, but it is rare, brief and planned well in advance. If “Me Me” is not showering, it’s not a water problem, it’s a hygiene problem.
This is a very cool complex – unique, in a great neighborhood, and with a friendly, tight-knit group of residents (save one). Yes, it has its quirks and minor issues. After all, some of the buildings date back to the early 1900’s when it was a boathouse and the water came up to where the train tracks now are. But that is part of what gives it its character.
I will agree with “Me Me” on one point – there are certain circumstances under which you should “not buy here”. Do not buy here if you think “urban lofts” implies living in a quiet residential neighborhood in the suburbs. Do not buy here if you think “urban lofts” is synonymous with “luxury condos”. You will be standing at the entrance for a long time waiting for a non-existent doorman. And most importantly, do not buy here if you think venting false accusations on a website is a better way to address your grievances than participating in the Association meetings.
By the way, “Me Me”, the contracted form of you are is you’re. Your is the possessive form of you. For example, your review is full of lies and hyperbolic nonsense, and you’re an idiot.

We can fix plumbing but not crazy neighbors
Well it is obvious to anyone who reads the reviews that most of us think this is a great place to live. I guess the only real reason you would not want to live here is because we have one crazy obsessive person as a neighbor. Yes all these negative posts are from one person and all the associated links to Waterfront Lofts are from her as well. Yes it is a her, we can even give you her unit number, parking space, name, car she drives, etc. We love to call this place home and when she moves it will truly be a vibrant place to live and love. So in the meantime "morning cafe and me me" will continue to try and drive our values down, but that is OK, we are all here for a long time and will outlive her silly remarks and negative image she is imposing on all of the great neighbors and community. We invite all of you to come visit us at our HOA meetings, including you "morning cafe and me me" and see how this community really is. Kind regards to all of you. Chris 5+ year original own

False Advertising Fraud Health Hazard Uninhabitable 3rd World Living at 1st World Prices
NO WATER AT WATERFRONT LOFTS. WATER IS A PIPE DREAM...
BUYER BEWARE...PLEASE READ ..DO NOT BE FOOLED ...DEMAND PLUMBING RECORDS IF YOUR FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BUY.
This so called "luxury" condo complex is remodeling the remaining units. Waterfront Lofts will be offering them up to some unfortunate, uninformed persons in the near future. I live at this complex and my warning is save yourself pain and suffering DO NOT BUY HERE. The units are in horrible condition. Some unites have swarms of uncontrollable, untreated termites other units have faulty dangerous electricity but all 41 units have NO WATER on a daily basis. This problem has been present since 2007 but we have been unable to get help from anyone. The condo HOA is hopeless ( peter bartoli & wade epps ). The plumber visits daily because there is no HOT WATER . If you like showers DO NOT BUY HERE. The water heater is unable to be repaired and the plumbing in general needs replacing recently the water tank exploded all over the parking area. If your a renter you can demand water or see a judge to withhold rent. Not the case in a condo. I have named the guilty parties, I'm sure others are involved. 1st the architect jonathan segal who finds old buildings that don't need to meet code. This underhanded technic allows faulty construction to pass under the radar. 2nd Delmar Pacific the people the built and maintain this DUMP. Every contractor i've ever had to do work in my unit has doubled over with laughter at the horribly cheap, corner cutting construction. These are same people that have not been able to fix the water heater in 4 years and most likely longer than that. Also the same people that sent out a pickled plumber that was actually holding a beer can. 3rd APS management & 4th HOA both of whom blame the other for the refusal to fix the water problems, treat the termites and repair the electricity. I have not had hot water in weeks. MY AMERICAN DREAM IS DOWN THE DRAIN.
