So happy lease is up soon

We didn't have any problems the first few months we were there. Then the winter ended. Taken over by new management right before two unrelated murders took place 2-3 weeks apart from each other. Door people were hired that just sit there (if they are there at all) watching tv or doing word searches. They are too busy having their friends hang out with them at work to help anyone that needs it. One may not speak english. They watch one door, but leave the other 3 unguarded. Anyone is let in to roam around or solicite us door to door. Kids are allowed to ride bikes in the hallways and cram them onto the elevators. The elevators are rough. They always smell like pee. People regularly leave food in them and just recently, someone used their key to scratch the display in both elevators of my building where it tells you the floor you are on. After the second murder, they wanted us to feel safe by giving us charlie bars and chain locks to go with our dead bolts. I've been trying for a month to get someone to look at our air conditioning as well. When you call down for maintainence help, they now tell you to call a special maintainence number. Well that number is only for emergencies or weekends and they say no air isn't an emergency. No heat is. And the times we've called we either got no answer, or were not able to leave a message due to the machine being full. I haven't had any trouble with maintaince stealing anything or doing a bad job when they show up. No problems with leaks or any bugs. In these summer months, though, you have to choose between closing your windows and turning on the air conditioning, or you can leave the windows open and have your place fill with weed smoke. You can smell strong pot almost nightly. I feel bad for the people here who have kids. It would be nice to leave the windows open in this nicer weather. My wife is constantly hit on when she goes to the fitness center. When her mom visited, she was also asked to go to some guys apartment when they shared an elevator. He was quite persistant about it. They are doing a lot of renovating. They've hired people who don't speak english and one Saturday, they sat outside our apartment talking for hours. One was leaning on my door and when I opened it, he almost fell in my apartment. One was sleeping in the hallways. <br><br>In conclusion, when I was looking for a place to live, I read all the reviews on this website. I didn't want to believe all the horrible reviews I read. I figured it was rediculous this place would have that many complaints so it was probably a bunch of people who left the place on bad terms. But it's true. I really can't recommend this place to anyone. I heard this place referred to as the Southfield Projects and I can see why. While people die, they paint the halls yellow. The appearance of safety seems to be more important than safety itself. For after those murders, nothing has been done to make me hesitiate moving out one bit.
