I MOVED HERE IN 1998 WITH HIGH EXPECTIONS, BUT WAS GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED. I GREW UP IN THIS AREA, I REMEMBER IN MY YOUTH MARBURY PLAZA WAS THE PLACE TO LIVE, WITH DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND ALL TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE RESIDED. I AM ASHAMED THAT I WAS SO NAIVE IN THINKING IT WOULD STILL BE AN UPSCALE COMMUNITY. IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!! I DONT WHERE TO START FIRST. THE TENANTS OF MAMRBURY PLAZA HAS SO MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM IS RIDICULOUS, IF YOU HAVE A CASE IT MAY NOT BE HEARD UNITL YOUR CHILDRENS' CHILDREN HAVE CHILDREN. I SLIPPED, FELL AND BROKE MY ANKLE IN THE YEAR 2000 BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING ONE NIGHT AND THE WATER FROM THE RAIN WAS COMING THROUGH THE BACK STAIRWAY WINDOWS ONTO THE STEPS, IT WAS DARK AND I SLIPPED ON THE WET FLOOR. I CALLED SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT AND THEY OFFERED NO APOLOGY OR SYMPATHY. THEY ALSO DID NOT FIX OR REPLACE THE WINDOWS. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ROBBERIES ON THE COMPLEX WHICH CONSIST OF THE 2 HIGHRISE BUILDINGS AND GARDEN APARTMENTS. SECURITY IS A JOKE PLAIN AND SIMPLE, THEY ARE JUST TAKING UP SPACE AND NO WHERE NEAR EARNING THE PAY THEY RECEIVE. THEY ARE THERE FOR SHOW. WITH SO MANY CAR THEFTS, YOU HAVE TO PRAY WHEN YOU LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A CAR STILL PARKED ON THE LOT. THE LAUNDRY ROOMS ARE LITTLE HOLES IN THE WALL, WHERE THE MACHINES OFTEN EAT YOUR QUARTERS AND ON THE TOP OF THAT, YOU HAD BETTER HOPE THAT YOUR CLOTHES ARENT STOLEN. TEENAGE CHILDREN OFTEN LOITER ON THE PREMISES, CONDOMS, SPIT AND OTHER NASTY ITEMS CAN BE FOUND IN CERTAIN STAIRWELLS, I SUGGEST USING THE ELEVATORS, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PATIENCE TO WAIT ON ONE THAT IS WORKING. ON ANY GIVEN DAY YOU FIND LEAKY CEILINGS IN THE FRONT LOBBY AND WET FLOORS TOPPLED WITH BUCKETS IN HOPES OF CATCHING THE DRIPS, THE BAD THING IS, THE SAME SOPT KEEPS LEAKING AND MANY REPAIRS WHICH GOES TO TELL HOW WELL MAINTENANCE IS. MAINTENANCE HAS ACCESS TO ALL APARTMENTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, BUT FEEL THEY MAY ENTER YOUR APARTMENT WITHOUT NOTICE AND TAKE THINGS THAT DONT BELONG TO THEM. MY FIRST BATHROOM A TUB THAT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN THAT LIKE TO RUN, AND RUN AND RUN. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN TO FIX THAT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CLOSET DOORS, BEDROOM DOORS ARE A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN. THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAVE FALLEN ON ME TOO MANY TIMES THAT I DONT EVEN BOTHER TO PUT THEM BACK UP!!! THE KITCHEN NEEDS NEW APPLIANCES, CABINETS AND THE HARDWOOD FLOORS NEED REPLACING. I'M PRETTY SURE I HAVE THE SAME APPLIANCES THAT WERE INITIALLY PUT IN MY APARTMENT IN 1969. THERE ARE NO SCREENS IN THE WINDOWS AND BALCONY DOORS, MANAGEMENT HAS HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST SINCE FOREVER FOR THOSE ITEMS AS WELL. NOW IF YOU MOVE IN HERE NOW, YOU MAY LUCK UP AND GET AN APARTMENT THAT HAS NEW CABINETS, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COMPLEX ACCOUNTANT, WHAT CAN I SAY, "NASTY DISPOSITION"! I SAY IF YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE HERE DONT, UNLESS YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF INCENSE TRYING TO COVER UP THE SMELL OF MARIJUANA ON CERTAIN FLOORS AND NEIGHBORS WHO LIKE TO HAVE PARTIES ON THEIR BALCONIES AT 2:30AM. DONT BOTHER WITH THE PLAZA IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.......
