I received an email on Friday expecting me to be available anytime on Monday to allow access to my unit and to expect random fire alarm interruptions throughout the day (looking forward to working from home on short notice with dogs and fire alarms going off on short notice). This coming after multiple interruptions of my buildings elevators and demands to prepare for unannounced window repairs for the past month which still haven't happened. It could be a great complex but honestly its a second job trying to prepare for managements demands. I get that older buildings need maintenance but clear updates are a must. I surely would expect more than one day notice to adjust for your work and pet schedule. I would especially expect more notice for planned maintenance like the window restoration project. For now, I will readjust my work schedule for the one day notice fire suppressant maintenance project and just stay on my toes waiting for the unannounced interruption of my work schedule notice of when they may if ever fix my deteriorating window.
I recently after 4 months here asked to have my HVAC filters replaced. Normally not a big deal or strange request. I came home from work today to see new filters left at my door, I took them and "replaced" them myself only to find out that I have been running an HVAC without any filter all summer. No wonder my apartment has been feeling way to dusty.
Edit: On the same day Lamar Reunion responded at 6pm on a Friday both elevators are not operating in my building meaning you have to walk down stairs, exit the building and walk outside to another set of stairs just to get to your car in the parking garage. Fun place to live!
Second Edit: two days later on Sunday with a heavy costco load I cam home to again both elevators being out in my building.
Third Edit: the building has been running with only one elevator for the past two weeks. Management was kind enough to send an email admitting the work was necessary, in spite of repeatedly denying that the elevator system wasnt working, apparently we should expect delays for the next 6 to 8 weeks for a problem they literally said was fixed several weeks ago.

This has to be one of most poorly ran apartment complexes in Austin, there are common problems like the elevator literally never working, trash in the halls and lobby all the time, lack of security that leads to theft, but absolutely the tipping point for me, has been the leasing “professionals” at the office, particularly Miranda, is constantly sour. They all truly act annoyed due to having to do their job, and that sucks as a resident to a “luxurious apartment”. Again, you will face the classic apartment problems, along with raised rent in a dropping market, you will also deal with just horrid people in the move in and out process, stay far FAR away from this place.

I’ve been living here for a year now. There’s a lot of good things about this place and I would definitely renew my lease, however, I am moving out of state.
Pros:
- Really nice management and maintenance. Any issue we had was resolved pretty quickly
- Lots of places within walking distance, not to mention many good businesses on premises
- The apartment itself is very spacious and bright
- Common areas are well maintained
Cons:
- (Depends on the apartment) there can and will be street noise. Every Wednesday at 7 am contractors are leaf-blowing the street and it will wake you up 100% of the time. Occasionally drunk people, stupid guys on loud motorcycles etc.
- There are two EV chargers in the parking garage, however, only one charger works 95% of the time. We had an issue when someone parked their car on one of the working charging spots blocking the accès for like a month and we had to complain to the management about it (after that the car was gone within 1-2 days)
- Apartments are not soundproof, so it absolutely feels like there are elephants living upstairs. We had a complaint about noise coming from our apartment too, even though I never listen to music, dance, throw parties, move furniture etc.
- They use fetch package delivery service. I really wish they had a package room, because fetch adds 0.5-1 business days of delivery time.

My experience at Lamar Union has been nothing short of a nightmare, characterized by a shocking disregard for tenant safety, persistent maintenance failures, and incompetent management. I strongly advise anyone considering this property to look elsewhere.
From the outset, my apartment was plagued with serious habitability issues. The HVAC system was severely contaminated with mold, a problem that management initially downplayed despite photographic evidence and took over a month of persistent requests to even partially address. This was followed by the discovery of a hazardous chemical storage room directly beneath my unit, which was in violation of building codes and posed a significant health risk. It took over two months and countless emails, calls, and in-person visits to get this dangerous situation resolved. Management initially misinformed me that no special ventilation was required, only for MSDS sheets to confirm the chemicals were hazardous and needed proper ventilation, which was eventually installed after multiple delays.
The issues did not stop there. Following tile work by contractors, my apartment was left covered in harmful dust and debris. After coming back to my unit, I also discovered a leaking washing machine and an uninstalled toilet (which took over a week to reinstall), rendering the unit unlivable. These maintenance failures compounded the already unbearable living conditions.
Perhaps the most alarming ongoing problem is the severe lack of security. Despite notifying Lamar Union about an unsecure front door as early as April 19, 2024, the premises remained unsecured. This negligence has led to frequent thefts throughout the building, including my neighbor's car being stolen from the underground garage and two bags of my personal belongings, including a laptop, food, and clothing, stolen from just outside my door. Management's response to these security breaches has been to deflect responsibility, citing lease clauses that absolve them of liability for criminal conduct.
Due to the persistent mold, hazardous chemical proximity, and ongoing thefts, my apartment has been rendered uninhabitable, forcing me to incur significant expenses for alternative housing. I have also suffered health impacts, damage to furniture, and considerable emotional distress.
The management's communication and responsiveness have been consistently poor. It took protracted efforts to get any issues addressed, and even then, resolutions were often delayed or incomplete. This level of unprofessionalism and disregard for tenant well-being is unacceptable.
I have attached several pictures documenting the mold I discovered, along with mold test results that indicate the problem was never fully remediated. Additionally, I have included images showing the harmful dust that is covering everything in my apartment.
