Lets begin with the fact that you cannot look at the apartment that you will be renting, but are shown a model. Then you move in and find you're apartment has a major flaw - and is nothing like the model.
Then if you are lucky like I am, you will be blessed with neighbors with 4 small children - who like to scream at the top of their lungs and run through the halls early in the morning. So pleasant! Then you get to watch helplessly as your apartment falls apart - like, when the roof in your bathroom bubbles up with leaks, and you get nice big water bubbles in the paint that eventually fill with mold ready to explode on you! Not to worry, you're just a shower away from detoxing your body! Then after you complain and threaten to issue a complaint with the board of health, they send in repair men who ignore the leak you reported that is coming from your ceiling and instead replace your faucets that didn't link at all. After they replace them though, they do. So, now you have leaky drippy faucets and a leaky ceiling! Horray! When you threaten the jobs of all you talk to, finally you get repair man #2 who proceeds to spackle over the whole mess of your ceiling and repaint it. Kindof like sweeping the crumbs under the rug. Do they fix the problem - the leak in the bathroom upstairs' Now what fun would that be. Now I'm back to square one. Then there is the fun that is my rigged heat. Most people have a thermostat with which to control and adjust their heat. For some reason, my heat doesn't work that way. For my heat to work, I must turn on the air conditioner motor and have blown forced air push the heat into the room. Kindof feels like a blowdryer. So uncomfortable, we usually just suffer through the cold with blankets. It has been great for my eyes too. My eyes got so dry, one night as I was taking out my contacts, I ripped a hole in my cornea, it got infected, probably from my moldy germ infested ceiling. So, it took me a month of round the clock eye drops to help my eye to get better and not loose sight. Now tonight, as I write this note at 1 am, I can say that you will never be bored here, with nonsense like sleep or comfort or good health. The fire alarm was just on for an hour straight! When you call the Park Towne Emergecy numbers to see if there is a fire, no answer, when you call downstairs to security you get hung up on. Now, that just makes a person feel all safe and warm inside - or is that the fire' It's hard to tell here at Park Towne Place, where many come to live in a place that is a glorified tenament. Where the walls are thin and the people - really old or really young... Do yourself a favor and move to 2601. Just across the street, my friend pays the same amount, has a bigger apartment, hardwood floors, actual security people, and service that puts Parke Towne to shame. Speaking of shame - the Cherry on top of this wonderful account happened just this past president's day. Park Towne scheduled PECO to come do some updating to the complex, turning off each building's elecetricity for 4 hours from 10 to 2:)0, cause it's only a holiday - why should you relax in your apartment, watching tevelision, enjoying heat, being able to shower... You should have to walk up and down 20 flights of stairs to leave and enter the building. Especially the old people right Park Towne' Is that how you get the vacancies' Have them exert themselves like that until they drop. I know lots of people here, and unfortunately, my story is the norm. Do NOT live here. I count the days till this prision sentence is over and am considering legal action since I have a proven injury from the faulty heat. I could have gone blind! So, don't you be blind. Move on from Park Towne Place!!!
