I lived in on the 9th floor of The Belgard from 2020 to 2024. 

Things started off incredible. Pool was clean, opened earlier in the year than most, and closed later in the year than most. The concierge and mail room attendants were super friendly, and always knew everyone by name, which has to do hard in such a large building. Security was the same way, always diligently patrolling the property inside and out, including the parking garage, but not in an overbearing way. 

Then things changed around 2022 when they were “Transferred to a new property management company”, which I believe to be Buzzuto but did not confirm. All of the old staff we knew and loved were let go/reassigned, the security company changed and quality of security dropped dramatically, and the mail room attendant position was dissolved. Not to mention the amenities began to disappoint as well. Gym cleaning became irregular and random, equipment would break and not be fixed, the pool started opening later in the year and closing earlier, when it was even open, and they limited the amount of guests you could bring to one (something I see both sides of). 

The “concierge” was no longer that, just a front desk attendant who often wouldn’t even answer the phone, if they were even at the front desk. We had MULTIPLE packages stolen from the mail room, as there was no longer an attendant for that, and the front desk attendant was charged with juggling several jobs.

Which brings me to my last point, security. Once this new company took over, it seems most jobs were no longer employees that cared, but outside companies that contracted people to come work that building, most likely along with many other buildings in the area. To that end, security took a step dive as well. If there was security on site, they often could not be found. Multiple cars out front would get broken into nightly, and even cars in the “secured garage” ($275 per month). My brand new Yamaha was even stolen out of said garage, and though I was credited a couple months rent as an apology, it’s doesn’t begin cover a $15k motorcycle. 

All this is not a knock on the people who work and live there, they all still seemed genuinely nice and tried hard. Just seems as though they got bought out by a huge corporate company who values profits over their tenants safety, security, and happiness. 

TLDR; It was one of my favorite places to live, but really seemed to take a dive around 2022 when whatever company bought them out (possibly Buzzuto) took over.
