I posted in here back in October regarding the growing pains. Since that post, I've got to say that I honestly have been really pleased.

The water issues have been fixed. No more leaky ceiling. The heat (after getting some valve replaced twice) is A-OK now. I recognize a lot of the building issues had to do with previous management; current maintenance folks are running rampant to fix errors.

I am fortunate to live in a quiet hall with respectful tenants. Sometimes I wish Montview Blvd. wasn't quite as busy and there wasn't as much road noise, but I'm not living in midtown Kansas City any more. As a result, I don't have to worry about crack dealers busting into the apartment or carjackings on my street, nor do I have to worry about cockroaches, possums, or squirrels falling through my ceiling. I wish I was kidding.

The entire staff has bent over backwards to ensure me and my husband are comfortable and happy. I really like the resurgence of group activities that are being encouraged (even though I will probably be avoiding the egg hunt).

I haven't seen graffiti in some time (which was pissing me off royally), and honestly, once I saw similar tags all over Stapleton, at least I knew it wasn't limited to just our complex.

Sometimes I do wish the gates into the parking areas were more functional. I will say that. I'd like to see them improve for safety purposes.

I'm happy here. Furthermore, I'm happy I posted back in October when I was less than pleased. If you're going to complain, at least offer constructive criticism. Recognize that this is where YOU live, too, and play an active role in making our complex a better place. It's not a dorm. Your parents don't live here. Be responsible and let management know when problems arise. They're quick to assist.

So, there's my piece. Each day that passes, it gets a little better.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. Our apartment floods weekly and they refuse to clean it because it will be a big project. Our bedroom floors are molding because they are constantly wet. They pipes broke in the ceiling and poured water on us and they didn't clean it up. I DID! We are moving out this week.

I had the same problem recently after the big snow in December. I had a leak in my apartment, but the staff was right on top it. The maintanance team took care of the problem right away and not one but two of their staff memebers helped me clean up the mess. They even took care of cleaning my carpets, which i did not expect. I didn't evan ask for that. After everything was said and done I received a nice letter from the manager and a gift card to make up for my inconvieneces. THAT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE!! I found out later that it wasn't even the "shoddy workmanship" it was the resident above me who didn't even have their heat on. This made the pipes freeze and the wonderful flood in my apartment. Don't forget to keep your heat on in the wintertime otherwise the pipes can freeze.
