1. sadly, there is no recycling here. trash is by chute, and hallways are generally clean/odor-free. occasionally, an immature college kid will leave garbage hanging out of, or in front of, the chute, but that gets cleaned up by maintenance.

2. there is a security guard that sits at the front desk. access to parking garage is regulated via gates - tho at times they're left open. lighting in parkin garages is adequate, no security guard.

3. no reports of break-ins heard yet. tho orsini has had more than its share.

1) I lived a distance away from the trash system so I never experienced any odors in the hallway. Also, I never saw piles or trash lying around so either the residents know how to pick up after themselves or someone does it for them.
2) There is a 24 hour doorman on duty. The parking lot is littered with BMWs and Mercedes. I have a Lexus and have never had issues. There are also security cameras around the garages.
3) I lived on the 3rd floor so I cannot attest to the safety of your unit. The area, however, is not the greatest so I would suggest a higher floor if you can.

One of thing I'd like to note is that the management recently changed. I loved Nelson and Ashley so the quality of service and care of the building is not the same as it used to be.
