Gone down hill

Ever since the property changed management company to Riverstone in fall 2008, it has gone way down hill. The complex is a mess most of the time, the garage doors don't close all the way, the "courtesy patrol" security guard is now only here 2 nights a week, allowing tenants' dogs to reside in the balconies, and most importantly, the management company is clearly so desperate to rent the units out to just about anyone as the quality of the tenants have clearly gone down during the past 10 months. I hear all night long people with loud music, singing and talking loudly, and barking dogs.

The most ironic thing is that as soon as the new management took over, the first list on the agenda was to remodel and upgrade the leasing office into a luxurious palace, and then suddenly there was a $3 increase for "trash," that had never been necessary before.

As for the new girl in the leasing office, she is gone temporarily for maternity leave. I agree that she is extremely rude, snobby, and did not appear qualified in any way to run this rather large complex. I suspect that she may return shortly, and continue her agenda of meaningless repairs (such as changing bathroom light fixtures), rather than concentrating on the issues that really matter to the tenants, such as security, cleanliness, screening process of new potential tenants, and general maintenance and upkeep of the property and the quality of life for the current tenants.

The place is GHETTO, now poorly managed, and way too pricey for the area and type of crappy apartment you get.
