Great... if you want to hang out with thugs

Nothing but problems since I moved in a year ago. The problems would not have been so bad, but the incompetent staff and management simply ignores any suggestions or complaints. Read on, this gets good...<br><br>A few months ago, a group of punks decided they were going to use my building's steps as thier new hang out. They wondered the breezeways on all floors, at all hours, using profanity, doing drugs, drinking, and leaving a mess on the walkways, sidewalks, and in the breezways. After 8 calls to the office about this problem with no response, i decided to take it upon myself to collect the joint roaches left from thier weed smoking the night before, and put them in an envelope and deliver it to the office. STILL, no response or action taken. After that, the mess left by these thugs got worse, and I was forced to smell the odor of vomit baking in the sun all over the stairs the whole weekend. It took maintenance 3 more days to make a feeble attempt to clean it up even then, and to this day, the puke stains are still there. So, then i called my attorney, who called the apartment on my behalf, letting them know i intended to fight to get out of my lease. Then and only then, did the manager return my call. The best they could do is move me to another building, for a fee. Yet, they didn't seem to care about doing anything about the drug use, vandalism, littering, or loitering, which is why i was calling in the first place. So, then one night when these hoods were congragating when i came home from work, smoking up and acting like the pillage of society, i called the cops. FINALLY, the cops came with 4 squad cars within 20 minutes. (It seems that i wasn't the only one complaining about this problem without much response.) The cops came and told them to go somewhere else, and they did for about an hour until the police left. Then they came back, ripped the handicap parking sign off the post from the parking lot, put in at my doorstep and stayed up all night calling the cops "b*tches" and yelled throughout the breezway that they'll find who called them. Great. They must have know it was me, because i was the last one up the step before the squad cars came. So the next day, they were there again when i got home from work. The management has not done anything about this problem, they didn't take a call from my attorney seriously, the cops seemed to be a joke to them, and they figured that i was the one that called to report. So, while going up the steps, one of the *ssholes decided he was going to get in my face and ask if i knew who he was messing with? I thought to myself, "there are 6 of you and 1 of me, if i'm gonna get beat down, I might as well make a stand now." So I turned to the punk, took off my watch, and asked who exactly I WAS dealing with. I got a dismissive wisp and they haven't been back since. So thanks for all your help Colonial Staff, for nothing. <br><br>There is construction going on now, and that is a pain in the *ss. I know that kind of thing has to happen to maintain the facility and make improvements. However, its repulsive to have these construction workers YELLING "Nice *ss" to my fiance across the grounds. I have left several messages that the workers are NOT allowed in my apartment without me being present, becasue my fiance doesn't feel comfrtable or safe with these jerks there if she is alone. Of cousre, 3 calls and a letter dropped in the mailbox of the office, and no response. Big suprise. <br><br>I guess they don't care anymore in the office, like they ever did anyway, because they are going condo. (Which they also said they were not going to do when we moved in) They aren't signing new leases, so there is no commission gained by the leasing agents, so who cares, right? <br><br>Parking sucks, nobody there respects the handicap spots.<br><br>The ducks in the lake are the nicest part of this community, too bad thay have to live in a polluted, unkept lake, with garbage floating in the water and dead fish floating around.<br><br>Even if you are lucky enough to have quiet neighbors, i recommend getting further away from OBT, where you here whiney cars and racing motorcycles at all hours. <br><br>Colonial Grand at Cypress Crossing is the armpit of Hunters Creek. <br><br>
