Huge Apartment, Suckie Maintenance

I have one great thing to say about the Society Hill apartments: They are huge for the money! That's it.

Walk into the kitchen and BAM: You're in the 70's! The kitchens haven't been renovated since around the time of my birth.

First day I moved in...the faucet in the Bathroom would not turn on and the toilet would not stop flushing. I came home one day to find my faucet in the bathroom on hot at full stream! The faucet would not turn off and was forming a large puddle in my bathroom. I called Emergency maintenance to report the problem and Cy the Maintenance guy told me, "Listen A**hole, that's not an emergency!" Rude does not begin to explain Cy's demeanor. I'm not sure if Cy is related to management or has just been there forever, the only thing I do know is that he can't fix anything.

Parking, Recently they asked for my car info again so they could assign me a parking tag. The contract ammendment stated that anyone parking in the lot without a tag, would have their car towed. Sounds good, but no one monitors this, nor did they post a sign stating that cars without tags would be towed. Great theory, but poorly executed!

As for noise...If you are home during the Day, you'll hear the Gameshows loud, since most of the neighbors are elderly. Ofcourse if you are young and single, you'll also enjoy the young female medical students who spend a couple years at a time in the apartments too...small benefit!

Overall, look a little further down the street, there are some smaller, but more moderately priced apartments. I haven't lived there, but they have to be better!

If you do intend to rent here, Bring a health inspector, Fire Marshall, Lawyer, digital camera, and be handy enough to do your own repairs!
