I spent two horrid years at the Fillmore (T1) in 1999 and 2000. Concrete walls' I could hear my neighbors talking through the walls, and the floor!! Through the floor!! The closet space in the bedroom is somehow connected with the floors above and below ( adjoined walls'). I could hear every fight my upper neighbor had, as well as TV sets two floors below. Footsteps and kitchen cabinet noises gave me a headache. Slamming of unit doors usually shook the whole apartment on weekends. Concrete -- or plaster of paris'' Apparently the Fillmore was left open to the elements during construction ( according to locals) and the whole place got soaked causing serious compromise to the building's structure. Which they ignored. They were replacing every single window in all buildings when I got there due to rust and leaks. Serveral mgmt firms and security firms came and went during that time. The tenants are generally noisy and inconsiderate. Lots of Section 8 and low income renters. Stereos thumping from all sides as well as the parade of cars with deafening systems in them goes on day and night. My 2nd night there was hihjlighted by a gun fight 3 blocks away that lasted about 15 minutes. That soon became a regular weekend event. There were constant break ins, knifings in the lobby, car break ins in the garage, etc., almost daily. Security is not allowed by law to do ANYTHING, except report to the police. In other words ( in THEIR words when I asked) if you're being raped or stabbed by some local thug, they cannot legally intercede in your defense. So what you may ask is the point of having them'' Exactly. Same with the front office. Absolutely useless back then. Don't know about now. Rents went from high to ridiculous. My 1 bedroom cracker box ( which had a gorgeous view-- the grounds are exceptional, that's the only plus to this place) went from 1500 to almost 1900 by the 2nd year so I got the hell out I highly suggest with all my heart that you never ever even consider renting here. By far the worst experience I have ever had in an apartment. Please, look elsewhere if you desire a peaceful and safe existence for you and your family.

Why on earth would you bother to post here when you have been gone for 6 years? Considering a move back? relapse in your treatment program? former/fired employee with an ax to grind? In any event, a lot of changes since 2000, both here and everywhere else in the country and world. Your experiences, bogus I suspect,are meaningless today. New ownership of the complex; new management; massive social and economic growth in the Fillmore District. Seems the only thing that has deteriorated is your ability to reason and recognize how worthless your comments are today.

what else are you harboring from 6 years ago? Thanks for moving, I'm glad you're not my neighbor.

Bob, why don't you get a life and stop railing on every person that posts here. You obviously work at the Fillmore Center so just let people give their honest feedback.

Heh. Kelly...maybe if you stopped harassing management so much and found a job so that you could pay your rent, you wouldn't be so full of piss and vinegar.
