Caution to pet owners who are looking to rent an apartment in the Macallen Building, South Boston’s premier green building boasting 140 units with luxury amenities. Building management of the ultra-luxury Gold LEED-certified development that was introduced to Boston in 2007 refuses pets for renters based on policies in the HOA’s condominium documents.
Recently, Macallen Building apartments for rent had inaccurate listing details, indicating to potential renters that pets are allowed.
Following a standard review process by building management of all renters, the Macallen Building pet policy for renters becomes explicit.
It’s quite common for condominium developments throughout Boston to have some sort of Boston condo pet policy in place, oftentimes limiting the number and/or size of pets allowed, however, the differentiation between owners and renters at a particular building like the Macallen Building in South Boston and disparate policies for each is less common.
