Westfal

Westfal Review You would be doing the world a favor by not moving into this horrendous apartment complex. This is the worst living experience you could have in Portland. The Westfal has security issues, INSANE pest problems, the worst community management team in Portland, and is not well kept. Michaelyn has pushed not only all of our problems to the side as tenants, but everyone else’s. When my partner reached out about homeless people breaking in, she simply said “tenants feel bad so they let them in” when the window in the laundry room CLEARLY had the lock broken. No one steps into the building to check in on it, unless it’s for a “door decorating contest” to save you $200 on rent when people who live here should be living here for free. Since the first week I moved in June / July 20

No matter how much you clean trap or spray there is roaches up the wall zoo here. I never had a problem with bugs until I moved here. No in unit laundry, so you could even get roaches from someone else’s laundry. Trash constantly overflows and left in halls, and there it graffiti on the walls. Management is impossible to get a hold of, and if you somehow do get a hold of them, they are passive, aggressive, and rude . I have heard from other tenants about electrical mold and plumbing issues, overall and unsanitary and hostile environment.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. Management is useless. Michaelyn is clearly very sick and will routinely send incoherent emails blaming the tenants for why the building is practically condemned. If she dislikes you, she will simply tell you to break your lease or will send unhinged emails with no basis in reality. She also never responds to emails unless she feels personally attacked (which she will, even if you’re just trying to get maintenance done). You will be scolded, treated like garbage, and then blamed for everything that management and CSC doesn’t feel like fixing. The complex is falling down, it’s lousy with bugs, and there have been multiple break-ins. In the short time I’ve been here. You will be ignored, accused of vandalism, and dismissed, all while bei

I currently moved into this place probably at the end of November. I think it’s a great affordable place. I’ve haven’t had no problems with roaches or nothing yet. I find it really convenient close to the max lines. The water is really hot, which I always look for in an apartment.

Update: Tenants in Apartment #72 physically attacked me and continue to escalate and declared they had been talking to Michaelyn about me when they assaulted me. In my experience, slumlords run the Westfal. It has a long history of unresolved habitability problems and systemic mismanagement. I previously prevailed in a court case against management for illegal conduct and retaliation after I asserted my rights. Many of the same issues have continued, including ongoing code violations, lack of essential services, and a consistent disregard for tenant rights. The pattern of illegal landlord activity and retaliatory behavior is well documented. I strongly advise prospective tenants to look elsewhere.
