Fillmore Center Apartments

Stay Away from this Complex From: Unko Date posted: 6/27/2006 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2006 1 response   I lived here for 3 years. We have had numerous issues with the building and management. I will list some here: * Our car was stolen from within the parking garage. The car even had a dead battery, so the thieves had to have worked on it for a while to get it started. They had to have attempted to steal it once, then come back with a new battery. Luckily, an alert security officer saw the car drive by around two weeks later. It pulled into the projects across the street. I recovered the car with a new battery, new wipers, freshly cleaned inside and out. This was the best thing that happened during my time there. * During one period of heavier rainfall we had a leak develop near our sliding door. We reported this many times but the management could not be bothered to come and look at it. Our living room eventually became a swamp. You would walk across the floor and it would squish under your feet. We could not get the management to come and look at the damage even at that point. We eventually had to call the health inspector to come and take a look. At that time the management decided it was worth the time to come and speak with us. * Some floors fell in certain buildings within the complex during earthquakes. * My dad, being a Civil Engineer, found a write up about the construction of this complex in an engineering magazine. It was basically a scathing article about how poorly constructed the complex was. * There are many low rent apartments near the complex. This leads to the crime being a little higher in the complex. I noticed someone else reviewing this place spoke with the police department about the crime rate and thought I would add this. * Security is a joke in the building. There were always uninvited people in the buildings that did not belong there. While this does not seem strange, the building was pitched to us as a higher security complex. This also lends some to the crime rate I am sure. Please, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
