Actually, I moved there in January 2009 and I have to say....YES, Mireya runs a tight ship...and yes...she can be extremely forceful when it comes to things done certain way....but I for one appreciate the fact that there aren't any underware drying up on the balconies, that it is pretty quiet, clean, the area looks always nice, parking is organized, and there's a pretty average if not better than average sense of seccurity. I am not sure what's the 1 hour class that you guys had to take..but that's not happening any more. Just the 130 question test, which I found extremely ridiculous at the beginging...but now I understand is a way to make people READ AND UNDERSTAND the rules. They took the time to make them to keep everyone on board and make it easier for ALL OF US to live here. Ultimately, those rules are for US who live here...not for her. We are the ones who otherwise would have to deal with Reggeton 24 hours a day, all sort of things hanging from balconies, people parking everywhere, anyway...Seriously! I lived in Washington Hights, NY. I know what I'm talking about. As for the birds...it's funny. Perhaps because I lived there for so long, I trully enjoy the fact that you can sit in your balcony and enjoy nature right there....I think it's beautiful. So....I do agree. If you have such horrible issues with the management...chances are you've done something against the rules. Same goes with seccurity. I've found them to be super nice and courtious towards me. Obviously I've never done anything to find their 'uglier' side...and trust me...I've had movers and people fixing all sort of things in this apartment....so if I wanted to piss them off....I've made them work many times. Yet...I've had an amazing experience here. Oh...one last thing...If anyone have roaches in their apartment...it's their own fault. They offer, free of charge, pest control every month. And...to top it all...they offer basic cable FREE of charge. If you want to add stuff to it...it's up to you. Atlantic broadban works pretty well and their prices are very competitive. ok, That's enough! Good luck to everyone and just remember, as long as you folow the rules (which are created just for our own easier living) you shouldn't have any problems.

FOR REAL! it took me 3 months, 4 phone calls to the VKC office and 2 phone calls to the pest control office to get the ghost exterminator to come to my apartment!!

Really???? They come every month on a set saturday morning. You are supposed to hang a tag on your door and the'll knock on your door. The list of dates is on the bulletin board next to the elevators, and if you dont' have the tag, just go to the office and ask for one. Good luck!

Sure, some of the rules make it better, but they will actually fine you for having a roll of duct tape in the back seat of your car!! Somehow, that makes it a "utility vehicle". Living at VKC means living in constant fear of some ridiculous fine over some rule you never knew existed (even if you HAVE read the rulebook). Eventually, you'll see for yourself.
