Problems

Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2008
 
I am a resident for the past 3 years. All was good during the first year, during the last 2 years, i had numerous problems ranging from BUGS, Water, Air, Carpet.

1) There were numerous instances where i come home nad see silverfish and bugs on the walls and ceilings, i catch atleast 3 to 4 a day. I complained the office guys, they come and spray something. No change. Thsi has been going in cycles ever.

2) Carpet, when i moved into the apartment i was told that the manager walked in to teh apartment (after the earlier tenants vacated) and told that we can extract 1-2 years of life otu of the carpet. I moved in, and it has been 3 years, i have been urging them to change the carpet in vain. They keep saying that i have to pay 40$ a month extra for the new carpet, which is ridiculous. No proper response when the history was bought up.

3) Water, as far as i know water is the most essential component in a living space. The water was so hard that i see calcium deposit on the cooking vessels while boiling water. IT was ridiculous, i kept complaining and getting no answer. Finally i took a vessel of water to the apartment office and they sent someone to add some water softner, whihc held up the water for 2 or 3 weeks. Same problem no good solution.

4) During winter the HEAT would not run, got that rectified in a gap of 3 days. During late winter we noticed that the AIR was in no working condition, and they are yet to come and repair it. They say that they will rectify it before summer, god knows.

5) LAke is the most nasty part of the whole community, nobody cleans or sprays anything on the lake, it is full of algae and it smells so bad, that we are avoiding going to the balcony at all.

6) Parking lots are worse, there is poo everywhere, as soon as you open the door, you have to know aerobics to avoid all those $H!t.

7) washer started pulling my clothes and it is yet to be replaced.

Always try other apartments before even thinking of this apartment.
