Resident 2009 - 2013

6/6/2013

I agree with one of the prior posts. It's 2013 and this place is steadily going downhill. To begin, the security gates have worked maybe 3 times in 4 years. The doorbells/Buzzers have NEVER WORKED in FOUR YEARS! How do people visit you or delivery people get to you? I have missed package after package while sitting right in the house but they could not get in to knock on my door. Ridiculous! Who Knew??? So there are special adults in EVERY BUILDING on the first floor. The amazing thing is they are NORMALLY not the problem. The AFRICAN people who watch them (working shifts) are the problem. Basically ignoring all laws, parking sideways in straight spots, hitting your vehicle with their doors, oh and the best one of all, YELLING INTO THE CELL PHONE AT 3 & 4AM in the PARKING LOT while talking to their family back in Africa because its daylight over there. Every now and then you get a visitor of yours out of breath because they ran from the grown special adult that yelled obscenities at them on the way in. Amazing! I had a crazy couple above me fighting from 11PM-4AM every night. He pretty much beat her every night during this time but they eventually skipped out on their rent and left. By then I was tired of it. The staff is quite wonderful up until they find out your leaving. At that point you re no longer the great tenant who was never late with your rent, you re the ENEMY NOW! Absolutely an experience to remember! The maintenance staff are another story. THEY WERE GREAT! The only thing I noticed is that they are at the mercy of management so if it requires spending money on a part, you may be assed-out. But they tried their best to help you no matter what. I appreciated that! The Hallways smell like old socks and cat pee no matter how much cleaning that poor cleaning girl does. Indicative of "Time to change the carpet". The parking situation is the biggest frustration you will have! People that visit overnight park in resident spots. This along with the Africans means you park very far from your own door. Might even be at the next building up. This despite having an overflow parking lot which nobody uses. They came up with paying for a certain spot that only you can park in for 35.00 a month. We paid for it and the Africans still parked there. After a month of threatening them to be towed, they finally got it smh @ language barrier or just damn ignorant! I prefer the latter. Last but not least, the gigantic MTA/Special Programs Bus for the special people. Every morning between 6AM and 9AM they come to pick the special people up on the first floors of each building. Some in wheelchairs and some not. The Bus will take up the whole road so that when you leave out, you re either blocked in by one or can't get by it to get onto the main road and get to work. I adjusted my whole time that I leave just because of this. Needless to say when I first moved in, I thought it was heaven but shortly after, I was reminded that SECTION 8 is in Every Apartment complex by law. You just don't know it! I will try my best to never look back! Brought a house and I hope that someone finally pays attention to this place going downhill. I was happy and didn't even consider buying until things changed so rapidly. Gonna miss Ms. King and Shante' (spelling) and especially Mr. William from maintenance but other than that, I recognize I am the enemy now and will probably get a bill from them for leaving a roll of toilet paper when we moved LOL. KARMA begets KARMA!
