DO NOT MOVE HERE!

From: -Anonymous-

Years at this apartment: 2008 - 2009
 
Initially, when I moved in here the manager tried to assure me that this was great building. One month later the problems began. First we had mice, then the water valve would not shut off, then we had a possible break-in, then we got locked IN the apartment (could not get the main door to open), then we got locked OUT (we had our keys!) It seems like the problems never end, and the manager just puts it on the backburner. On one occaision, it was dicovered that she never even wrote the maintenance report after I personally told her of the problem. I have also tried to call the corporate office to complain. There is also CONSTANT banging on the radiators overnight when most people are trying to sleep. I complained to the manager about this, and she mentioned that overnight was the only time maintenance could be done on the radiators. As far as what the other reviewer wrote about maintenance entering whenever they want, its 100% true. There was an incident one day when my husband was off of work. He noticed that someone was trying to enter the apartment. He used his body to try and block the door from opening but the person continued to struggle with him. Surprise, it was maintenance. Not once, during the incident did they try to identify themselves. Last month, my husband was arriving at our apt and saw someone in a maintenance uniform at our door, when he called out to the person, they ran down the stairwell. As far as the resident, its touch and go, some of the residents are okay, while others are not. We have a neighbor who appears to be involved in some sketchy activity, judging by the frequent actvity in the hall after 10 pm and also the strong smell of marijuana that takes over the hallway. My husband becomes scared whenever he goes out of town because the building does not feel safe. So happy to be getting out of this place.
