Jemison Flats - Birmingham, Alabama

S C

Was walking by this apartment complex and got accosted by a group of homeless who have a little “village” right outside the building. One guy even had a machete! I was told no one can walk on their side of the street without paying! Is this how Jamison Flats runs its property? Please everyone stay away. I had to run across the street to the greyhound station and asked the security personnel to step in and say something! Utterly ridiculous!

Awful management. The elevator has been out of service for over a month. Has to be an ADA violation. The stairs that we now have to use have awful to no lighting. There are lights in the darkest areas but they do not work, not sure they ever have. Hallways are nasty. Cigarette butts in the stairwell.
The "gated" parking has had the gates up for two weeks now - after a very clumsy migration to a new card-entry system for the building.

Jemison Flats is an awesome choice for someone looking for a unique experience in living. It’s definitely not your average apartment.Over 100 years old, this building is full of charm. Cole Carpenter, manager at Jemison Flats, has been a joy to work with. It’s not always easy when you’re on a fixed income, but Cole is always there with a solution. He is kind, and tries to solve the problem in a timely manner. I have found maintenance to be very helpful also.

I’ve lived in Jemison Flats for 7 years now and have thoroughly enjoyed calling this community my home. The location is central to most things downtown. The units are loft-style and unique. Eric with management has always been prompt and taken good care of us when we needed anything. I’d highly recommend Jemison Flats to anyone looking to move to the Birmingham loft district.

I have lived at Jemison Flats for about 7 years now. I love the building and the location in Downtown Birmingham. While we have had some issues, I want to thank Cole Carpenter for going above and beyond in resolving my latest issue. I had a large bookcase in the basement that was moved and I thought it had been stolen. He found it and delivered it to my apartment door! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!

If beautiful industrial chic loft apartments are what you are looking for, then Jemison Flats is the place for you! My unit has an enormous amount of floor space, spectacular views of the city, and excellent appliances. Each unit has its own unique floor plan and character. Amenities include a great workout room, secure parking deck, and the most beautiful courtyard (with large industrial waterfall fountain, grills, and fire pit) that I have ever seen. Many of my neighbors (other tenants) have become close friends, and people in the building are friendly and conscientious. Management and Maintenance are professional, responsive, and continuously working to improve their tenants experience. Nearby restaurants, bars, parks, grocery stores, businesses and attractions are numerous and within a short walking distance of the building. Jemison Flats is a fantastic place to live in the heart of downtown Birmingham!

Would be zero if that was an option.
I moved in to an SPM property in May and myself, along with several other residents, have had issues with missing packages/package thefts and safety concerns with the call box being inoperable in the building. I was told in our tour that the lobby had cameras, but after several thefts of packages, have since been told after move in that the cameras were inoperable. I was assured the cameras were being repaired and that cameras were also being added to the mail room. After following up with management I was told there was no ETA for the lobby camera repair, and they knew of no plans to install cameras in the mailroom even though the former property manager put it in writing with an estimated completion date of 11/30.

I asked if I could install my own camera like a ring doorbell, but was denied even though they have made no effort to help control the thefts in the building.

Package lockers would also be a suitable option

In addition, the callbox being inoperable is a safety concern. I have submitted a maintenace request to be told “call box has never worked.” However, this was not communicated during our tour. I even asked if we could access the building with a code at the call box and was told no, but that the box was operable.

It’s been several months, and the issues are no closer to a resolution. We deserve to live in a safe, theft free environment and the management is doing nothing to alleviate the lost expenses we continue to incur with theft of mail.

I just moved here and love the building! I'm especially impressed with the maintenance staff, William, Brandon, and Zach. They have been very responsive to my requests and were very professional in rectifying the issues I had. Also thanks to Cole, the assistant manager, for his assistance throughout the process.
