Resident 2008

7/7/2008

I have lived here exactly one week. As opposed to going off on an emotional tangent, I'm going to be very technical about all of the reasons I can't wait for my year to expire so I can move the heck out of here. I'm not new to Far Rockaway, I've lived in both private housing and Wavecrest apartments, so despite the glossy description of the neighborhood on the website, I knew what to expect and I wanted to be near the beach, 1. I've been there a week and have not received the key to my mailbox. I've called or stopped by maintenance several times to no avail. Seems I'd have to be available Mon-Fri, 9-4pm. Still not sure how I'm gonna resolve that... 2. I've walked in on the "24 hour" security several times only to catch them fast asleep. At some point, someone from Management or Maintenance said to the guard "I better not catch you sleeping again." The guard replied, LOUDLY, "F**K YOU, KISS MY A**" several times. I was standing right there. 3. There are roaches. Just know, that the building has a roach problem, not only the units, but the halls. 4. I received false information from management, PERIOD. The renal agents, while polite before you hand over the check, do not give a darn about you and don't even attempt to contact them after you've signed the lease. They'll just give you the telephone number to someone else that doesn't give a darn about you. 5. I've had a guard hit on me and ask me for my phone number, and comment on my legs. Not in that "polite" way, in that way that makes you feel icky. 6. In general, with the exception of ONE maintenance person who was very nice to me when I locked myself out, EVERYONE I've talked to has been short, rude and unhelpful. 7. Did I mention the roaches? The apartments at Wavecrest are bigger and the bottom line is, they don't promise you affordable luxary then hand you a roach invested apartment and a bunch of useless phone numbers. When I moved into Wavecrest, I got my mailbox key the same day, never had a problem with roaches and could rely on Maintenance to respond to my requests. Stay Away from SandCastle unless you'd do anything for a nice view and access to the beach!!!!
