Living at the Accolade Minneapolis. 30 day Real Resident Experience and Review. Not so ADA Friendly

How is living at the Accolades going ? Was the building all that it was hyped up to be ? What issues need resolved ? All this and more in my 30 day update video. This is my real resident experience and I was not paid to make this video by the property or its parent company. While major issues need addressing I still overall enjoy the property but the sheer lack of regard for a blind resident or any disabled resident is unacceptable. ADA compliancy and what I felt was a knowledgeable building brought me to the Accolades and I would say life would be cruel to someone in wheelchair. I am legally blind and have learned to get around fairly well in areas I'm familiar with but when I walk into my building I'm knocking into packages or my guide dog is standing over someone's door dash because we can't access the fob to unlock the door because the property has yet to staff the front desk that's why I held nothing back. Without a disability advocate buildings like this can get away with this, at the moment I do wonder what leasing staff would do if a prospect came with a wheelchair and asked about wheelchair access to amenities, because those doors have the fob next to the door and only a single door to push open but they are blocked with furniture and me in my chair and my dog next to me wouldn't be able to use those doors, I have colon cancer it is not so much of if I will be in my wheelchair but a when I do because durning treatments my mobility is greatly impacted. The packages have made me fall trip and now if I want to not have that problem I must take time from my day to clear the pathway, not only that but I had a package 📦 stolen worth $300 ! I won't get that money back but at least I can try to prevent this from happening to other residents.
