HORRIBLE! DON'T MOVE HERE! here's why....

wow, where do i begin'

First off, the water is ALWAYS shut off! i should've collected all the notices they've put on our doors apologizing for the water being shut off. "During the hours of 9 to 5, Monday, February 18, 2008, the water will be shut off. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Once, twice...i could understand. i would estimate at LEAST once a week this has gone on...AND the worst is, the water has been shut off WITHOUT any notice, thus screwing up your day (showering, brushing teeth and just having water....wow, imagine the luxury!)

Next thing wrong...i've complained to them that my freezer door came off a year ago. Yep - a year ago. Since then i've filed 2 more complaints, only to be told that the entire kitchenette unit will be replaced. Ok, so 1 year later and nothing has been replaced and evidently they can't locate a replacement door for this freezer so i have to keep it very low so the freezer doesn't freeze over with tons of ice, which would make it impossible for me to close the door. Now, i run the risk of the food spoiling since i can't have it set at the desired temperature.

Onto the parking...wow...the owners aren't happy with the immense profit they're already making off the apartments...no, they have to sell parking spaces to nearby officer workers. So, we have to give our key in to some stranger every time we park (mostly stack parking). My checking account number was mysteriously stolen the first week i was here...mind you i don't put my checking account number online, someone would've had to have seen a check (i had my checkbook in the car due to moving into a new place and cutting different ppl checks that week).

Then, you've got people from Japan who apparently DON'T think it's rude to slam doors. i work from home and my door has literally shaken HARD when people a few doors down from me come home and slam their doors. Unreal, i've NEVER seen anything like it. If we were in japan and did that, rest assured they would let you know about it (hey, stoooopeet american you no slam doors here!)

speaking of which, they seem to not be able to find the trash shoot. they leave their trash a few feet (yes FEET!) away from the actual trash shoot. not sure if it's some religious thing where they can't open a miniature door or what, or if it's just plain laziness.....someone please fill me in on that one!

i can't wait to get my condo and get out of here, i've had enough!

Good to hear what you've said that I totally agree with everything you said. I lived there before and truly understand what you're talking about. I thought I was the only one that was crazy and just couldn't adapt to the environment. But from your review, I feel at peace that I'm normal. I'm not the one constantly dissatisfied with what was happening around me in that apartment building. It was a nightmare.
