RUN FOR THE HILLS

From: -Anonymous-

Years at this apartment: 2009 - 2009
 
I HAVE BEEN IN THIS COMPLEX SINCE FEB. OF 2009. AS SOON AS MY LEASE IS UP I AM ON THE FIRST THING SMOKING TO ANOTHER COMPLEX. I LIVE IN BUILDING 4225 AND IT IS A MESS. WHEN I FIRST MOVE HERE THERE WAS A SQUATTER LIVING IN THE UNLOCKED ABANDONED APARTMENT BELOW ME. THE SQUATTER WOULD SPREAD HUMAN SECRETIONS ON THE WALLS OF THE BUILDING. THE HALLS SMELLED LIKE A SOILED DIAPER. THERE WAS A TENANT ABOUT MY AGE AND ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S MOST UNSAVORY RESIDENTS FREQUENTED HER HOME. SHE WAS LOUD AND A BIT ROWDY. SHE EVENTUALLY GOT EVICTED. THINGS HAVE BEEN MORE QUIET SINCE. I NOW HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH CHILDREN THROWING ROCKS THROUGH THE WINDOWS. MAINTENACE DID COME AND FIX IT THE FIRST TIME BUT SHORTLY AFTER CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUST THE WINDOW AGAIN THAT WAS ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS YET TO BE FIXED. I CALLED THE CONSUMER OF REGULATORY AFFAIRS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PEST IN THE APARTMENT. I COULD NOT PULLED AN ARTICLE IF CLOTHING FROM THE CLOSET WITHOUT A ROACH JUMPING FROM IT. THE PROBLEM HAS DECREASED BUT HAS NOT STOPPED.THERE ARE MICE RUNNING AROUND AND THE BULDINGS PEST CONTROL IN SHOTTY. ALSO DONT EVER PAY YOU RENT IN ADVANCED. THE OFFICE STAFF ARE LACKING PROFESSIONALISM. ONCE THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR NUMBER IS WHEN YOU WILL NOT GET A ANSWER FRON THEM. YOU HAVE TO PHSYICALLY SHOW FACE AT THE OFFICE AND WATCH AS THEY LET THE PHONE RING WHILE YOU ARE CALLING FROM YOUR CELL PHONE. THEY GIVE YOU KEYS FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOMS AND FRONT DOORS BUT THEY ARE NEVER LOCKED. YOU CAN OFTEN FIND HOMELESS CRACK HEADS SLEEPING IN THE BACK ROOMS AND WASHING THEIR CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY ROOMS. I OFTEN HAVE TO FISH CRACK BAGGES (SOME WITH CRACK STILL IN THEM) OUT OF THE WASHERS. I QUITE USING THEM SHORTLY AFTER. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE COMPLEX IN THE PARKING. IT IS ON THE STREET BUT YOU CAR IS PRETTY MUCH SAFE.
