SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC NEWS) – The long-awaited opening of the Coda apartment building on South Crouse Ave in Syracuse has finally arrived, but not without some complications. Initially scheduled for an August first move-in, the building’s management has opted to stagger residents’ move-in dates, causing frustration among some future tenants.
In a statement issued to residents on July 18th, a certificate of occupancy for all common areas, all corridors, and all amenity spaces was issued on July 26th. Leasing staff moved into the building on July 27th, and a certificate of occupancy for all apartments and living areas will be issued on August first.
Management said that despite the delays, it offers reimbursement for the first month’s rent to ease the inconvenience.
Jake Lazarus, a graduate student moving into Coda, expressed frustration with the delays. “They pushed our move-in date back from the first to the third. So, I’m getting reimbursed a little bit of rent money, but I still have to move in two days late. Which, as a grad student, is frustrating because I just want to be in my home.”
However, not all residents share the same sentiment. Lika Kenchor, another resident, remains optimistic despite the initial setbacks. “I was a little bit nervous. But then, as the weeks started to go on and I saw how fast they were putting everything together, my excitement kind of kicked in.
As the new residents settle into their apartments over the coming days, the mixed reactions reflect the anticipation and challenges associated with the opening of the Coda apartment building. Despite the delays, many look forward to making their new apartments home for the next year.
