Franklin Plaza Apartments

DON'T BE FOOLED!!! STAY AWAY!!! From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 9/13/2007 Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2007   THE BLDG. LOOKS GREAT, BUT DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! IT IS A HORRIBLY RUN PLACE. RW SELBY IS A DISGUSTING COMPANY (KURT IS THE WORST OFFENDER-WHAT A LOSER/JERK!). THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR TENANTS - THEY JUST RAISE YOUR RENT, TAKE YOUR $ & RUN! THE WATER IS PUTRID. THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY ARE FIXING THE PIPES (BULL!) PURE YELLOW WITH RUST FLAKES! THE UNITS MAY LOOK NICE AT FIRST GLANCE, BUT THEY ARE CHEAPLY PUT TOGETHER & FALLING APART. THE MAINTENANCE MAN IS USELESS (NEVER AVAILABLE EITHER - TOO BUSY WATERING THE FRONT STAIRS I GUESS) & NEVER FAILS TO LEAVE A MESS AFTER HE "FIXES" SOMETHING IN YOUR UNIT (STRANGELY ENOUGH SOMETHING IS ALWAYS BROKEN). THE MANAGER IS A CORPORATE DRONE WHO WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU BEYOND CORPORATE "POLICY" - SHE REALLY HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS DOING & CANNOT HANDLE THE JOB. IT IS ALSO A VERY UNSAFE BLDG. THE FRONT DOOR IS ALWAYS BROKEN, THE GARAGE GATE BASICALLY HAS A SIGN ON IT INVITING CRIMINALS IN TO STEAL YOUR CAR OR POSSESSIONS (WHICH THEY DO FREQUENTLY) & ON SUNDAY MORNINGS YOU CAN USUALLY FIND A HOMELESS MAN SLEEPING ON THE LOBBY COUCH. THE FIRE DEPT. DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER TO COME OUT ANYMORE BECAUSE THE ALARMS GO OFF ALL THE TIME! THE FACT THAT THEY TAKE DOGS IS WHAT DRAWS EVERYONE IN - I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A PLACE FOR YOUR POOCH, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THE HELL OF FRANKLIN PLAZA! ON TOP OF ALL THIS, WHEN YOUR LEASE ENDS, THEY WILL JACK UP YOUR RENT $100.-300.00 (DEPENDING ON YOUR UNIT) & MAKE YOU SIGN ANOTHER 100 PAGE LEASE!!! DON'T DO IT, YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE (I DID) - IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE WORK, BUT YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING! DON'T SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THE HELL HOLE THAT IS FRANKLIN PLAZA!!!!
