NO MATTER WHAT...DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!

I just moved out. Greatest day ever. Moved across the street to Statler Arms. Not the greatest place in the world but a million times better than the Chesterfield. Here's the problems..and they're are not things you just DEAL WITH and I AM NOT BEING PICKY!!!!

1. BED BUGS!! This is no joke. You will not sleep at night and when you actually get out of bed in the morning you will have bites all over yourself. The building can't do anything to fix this. They sprayed my place three times and it did nothing. I had to replace my mattress, box springs, pillows, comforter, etc....VERY EXPENSIVE!!! This problem is not just for dirty people either. I am border line OCD with my cleaning and it didn't matter.

2. The elevators are always broken. Even the ones that work are being abused by residents. Apparently they think it is a dorm. Residents get on at the 3rd floor ride it to the 5th floor and then sit and hold the door open and talk to their friends who are still on the elevator. This is a regular occurence.

3. The garbage!!!! The building...esp downstairs/lobby area stinks of garbage. And I mean it REALLY STINKS!!! I literally almost puke in my mouth a bit every day I would walk through the lobby to my car. Also, residents seem to think it is ok to throw garbage anywhere. I found 8 pizza boxes stacked in the storage elevator room with roaches, fruit flyes, etc all over it. It stayed there for 3 days until I begged management to clean it up. Also, people throw out old furniture INFESTED WITH BED BUGS in common areas!!!

4. Sporadic and unannounced turn off of heat and water!! I was home with the flu one day in February and all of a sudden the HEAT AND WATER WERE SHUT OFF IN FEBRUARY!! So imagine, puking and going to the bathrooom in a toilet that won't flush!! And your sick with the flu in FEBRUARY WITH NO HEAT!!!!!! This happens ALL THE TIME!!!

5. Management controls when heat and A/C are turned on and off!! I believe they turned the A/C on the beginning of June this year. Keep in mind that it was in the 80's most of May!!! Opening the windows does not help!! Plus windows have no screens....so go ahead and open them for air and your place is filled with bugs!!

6. THE FAMOUS CHESTERFIELD POOL!!!! DISGUSTING!!! I'VE SEEN SEVERAL YOUNG MEN...MEN!!..SWIMMING IN THEIR UNDERWEAR!! The water is disgusting, and there are no decent lounge chairs to use if you go up there. All are broke!!

7. Noise. If you happen to live in a unit facing 12th Street good luck!! It is sooooooooo noisy. Expect a garbage truck EVERY MORNING AT AROUND 6am!! Hope you don't like to sleep in!!!!

8. Nothing works. The laundry room is a joke. Usually 1/3 of all machines are broken. Never hot water in any of them. Always gross..never cleaned. Hair and crap everywhere. Also, tennis courts and that other stuff...YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

I could go on forever. The bottom line is DO NOT LIVE HERE NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO!!!!

I totally agree. I must say, the management must vacate all the tenants and should remodel this place all over again...
