Scratched wood floors. In Orr’s
case, his floors are not only
scratched, there are noticeable gaps between the edge of the flooring
and walls. Owners also complain of uneven or spongy floors; |

Damaged kitchen and bathroom
cabinets. In the case of Byung Park and
another owner, Mark Doucet, there was so little clearance between the
bottom of the main kitchen cabinet and the island sink that their
cabinets were removed. They say they were told that the problem was a
design flaw and that a new cabinet could not be installed elsewhere in
their kitchens. Both owners, who plan to rent their units, say they
were told to come up with solutions; |

Missing doors in bedrooms,
closets and dens; |
•
|
Awkward access to some balconies
as patio doors open on the wrong side; |
•
|
Poor paint and drywall work; |
•
|
Significant gaps between drywall
and windows/doors simply addressed with caulking; |
•
|
Subpar tile work in bathrooms; |
•
|
Appliances damaged, missing or
not hooked up. In some units, washers
and dryers were parked in the living room. Arvind Sharma’s stove was
not connected to gas, and his clothes washer and dryer had not been
delivered, which meant he lost a couple of prospective tenants at the
beginning of April; |

Construction debris not cleaned
up, although Moe Shirazi says at least that’s his biggest complaint. |
