Karim on the maintenance crew is the best! Always explains (not mansplains) and is courteous!

Shout out to Karim. He came to address problem with refrigerator door swinging open. Informed me there is a stopping mechanism to prevent extreme opening. Karim is always, professional, courteous. Goes above to provide excellent resident service. Truly an asset to maintenance team.

We recently moved out of Sofi at 50 Forest to relocate in Watertown. We enjoyed our time at Sofi and a big reason was the management team of Osmand and James and the excellent maintenance staff, with a shout out to Kareem, Cesar. It's a very well- managed building, which isn't always the case.Osmand was always available and always professional, competent and a pleasure to work with..Every issue or request that came up - administrative or maintenance- was addressed quickly and effectively dealt with. If you're looking for a rental apartment in Stamford , you can't do better than Sofi at 50 Forest St.

The maintenance team is amazing. Karim and Junior in particular have been excellent and saved the day with a hot water issue I had multiple times!

A really average apartment complex with a great location. The building and appliances are not the newest, and there’s carpet throughout the complex that doesn’t get cleaned well enough with all the dogs around so it smells. You don’t hear a lot pf noise from neighbors luckily, but the windows are cheap so you hear honking and trucks (especially the garbage trucks) pretty often. The elevators are always broken and the fire alarm goes off late at night every few months

The maintenance team @ 50 Forest is amazing. I put in a work order last Saturday and my issue was fixed within 30 mins of my request. Karim and his supervisor did an amazing job.

My shower was clogged and I submitted a maintenance request. My issue was resolved by Karim the same day. His work was excellent and made my shower good as new!

This review is solely for the maintenance staff. We have lived in the building for about four years, and every maintenance person we have met has been very kind and helpful for us (Jr, Cesar, John, and Kareem). Kareem is awesome. He is extremely helpful and gives good advice regarding the maintenance of our apartment.

My lease will be up soon and I have a mixed experience living in the building. Here is my list of pros and cons.Overall, it is a decent place to live, but if you have a small dog you may want to reconsider due to the many aggressive dogs in the building.Pros:The building location is great. It is right in downtown and next to Bedford St without the noise of restaurants, bars and drunk people.My apartment had a good size with large bedrooms and walk in closets.The buildings park with two tennis courts is very nice and the courts are in very good condition.Cons:Not the buildings fault, but there are a lot of very aggressive dogs in the building. I got a 5 year old pug that has been attacked three times since I moved in and I am now very careful getting close to any dogs in the building.If your apartment is facing the park like mine is, the garbage truck pickups makes a lot of noise and will wake you up/disturb your morning multiple times a week.Since I moved in, one of the three elevators have been broken for about 1/3 of the time. One of them is constantly broken and they never seems to get fixed properly.The washing machine, dryer and bathroom fan are very loud. Be prepared, because it makes a big difference. It is difficult to have a movie on in the living room if the dryer or washing machine is on. It may be because they are no doors to help with the sound... It can be difficult to hear each other in the bathroom due to the loud fan.

This used to be a great place when this was owned by Avalon , since it has been taken over by Sofi things have gone downhill.Elevators are constantly out of service , prices keep going up and new fees being added to the already high rent and the quality keeps going down.Update 2/28/2023 , after the broken elevator was fixed, it again broke after 2 days along with another elevator. So right now this building only has 1 working elevator which is a nightmare

If you ever need anything fixed, Karim is the best for maintenance. He was friendly, quick and very knowledgeable. FIVE STARS!

Moved in about a month ago and have had a good experience with the building. The staff and maintenance team have been responsive with most issues getting a response within 1-2 days. They are thorough and make sure issues are resolved. I only wish package pickup was easier and there was a bit more transparency on when to expect delivered items. Enjoying it so far!

I have mostly had positive experience with Sofi.I stayed their for two years.They used to quickly address maintenance issues, the apartment complex is great and they returned my deposit in full after I vacatedHowever, there are some cons. The elevators are constantly broke down. And there are only 3 elevators for such a large apartment complex.There used be a lot of construction work now and then. It was very disturbing and annoyingLastly, the biggest problem I had was mice. My apartment was infested several times with mice. They admitted in their mails that it’s their fault. And they did not do anything about it while we are there.

Fifth floor smells like unbathed animals and feces all the time. This has made living there a health hazard for the past year and a half, while management continues to do nothing about the tenants causing the problem.
