On June 12 of 2004 the basements of the three and four bedrooms flooded. The day before this happened a couple of other apartments had flooded in the complex. A couple of maintence people came to our apartment to see if it had flooded. It had not, they told us what happened and said not to worry about it because it happened to others and not ours so it was deemed ok and no worry to flood. Well the next morning our apartment had flooded. Had we been warned we might have saved some of the items that we lost because of their negligence. The management never came to our apartment to tell us what was going on and what actions to take. After a few hours we went to the office to find out what was going on. There was a girl there that had no clue what to do. The manager and other maintance people went to the other apartment complex that is being built on 52 called Baywater because they flooded too. No one was even living there yet they felt it was more important to be there' That day they did have people come in and tear out the carpet and suck the remaining water out of the apartment after most of it had receeded. The management of the apartments did not make clear to the residents that the back up of the water was from sewage overflow, the played it off as if it was just from rain. An inspector for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Assosiation) came to my apartment and told us that we should not be living in these apartments after this kind of sewage overflow in to the apartments. It is unhealty and unsanitary to live in these types of conditions. The management of this place is taking advantage of the fact that we are mostly college students living in this complex, and that we will not take action. It is obviously clear that they are in violation with the Tippecanoe Building Inspectors. They have ripped out the carpet and bottom half of the drywall to repair. All the other apartments on either side are easy to just walk into and see into. Making it impossible to feel safe and secure, and to even air condition are apartment as it gets warm. The only compensation that was offered was to move to Baywater, another complex built by the same company. I also became aware on the day of the flooding that those apartment had back up even though they were just being finished by construction crews. Four bedroom apartments are only being offered for people that are in Four bedrooms, threee bedrooms which I live in are not being offered. Anyway why would I want to move somewhere that is just as likly to have the same problems.
We have also had problems with the tolits, you can hear the wind so bad, it is very noisy. It's located in a field basically so there aren't really any tree lines to break the wind. The ceiling on the top floor has nails coming through, and it just keeps getting worse. The obviously didn't build this building to code.
We were only alloted two parking spots for a three bedroom and so we had to pay $15 more for another spot each month, because parking spots were supposed to be assigned. They never were and we ended up paying for a spot when everyone can just park anywhere anyway. The lot is never full.
I had a shelf in my closet that was up when I moved in. After I hung my clothes and put stuff on the shelf it fell off the wall. The maintance man came to fix it. It worked for about a couple of days and then fell of the wall again. So I had my dad fix it because I felt the man did not know what he was doing.
Upon moving into the apartment, it was not completed. There are several spots on the wall that need to be repaired, that weren't finshed right or weren't even painted all the way. A week after we moved in a man came to paint the ceiling.
