At least eight upper-floor windows have fallen since the property opened, and residents say management has delayed resolving the issue.
by developers PMC Property Group, who are considered Philadelphia’s biggest residential landlord. His friends live in apartments owned by PMC, so he said he felt safe moving into the Riverwalk.But since moving into his apartment in February, four windows have fallen from the upper floors — two of which have fallen onto his balcony.
Residents have also brought concerns to social media in a Facebook group for current and interested tenants. Posts warning neighbors about shattered glass on top of the gym roof, on the railroad tracks, and potentially in the pool go back to August 2022. Despite contacting management since they began hearing their window making sounds and after it broke, they haven’t received a response, He said.The property manager declined to comment on the situation beyond an email sent to residents last week that said PMC was working to identify a cause and make repairs. Giant’s corporate office referred The Inquirer to property management.
“We are currently working closely with the City of Philadelphia and structural engineers to address the issue and ensure the safety of our residents and the public,” the email read. “Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to finding a prompt and effective solution.” PMC poured concrete for elevator shafts up to the fifth floor of one of the buildings in May 2019 despite having a permit to complete only the building’s foundation, according to then-L&I spokesperson Karen Guss.
