Overpriced for Quality

Being new to Pittsburgh I chose to rent an apartment while I house hunted in the area. Unfortunately for me, I lived at the Woodhawk Club for 1 year and was unhappy from day one.
QUALITY
1. The actual apartment you live in DOES NOT reflect what is shown to you during the tour
2. When I moved in it was apparent that the apartment was NEVER painted.
3. The carpet was OLD, torn up and very stained.
4. The counter tops were scratched and stained
5. The tub was stained and tiles had mildew in between them :(
6. There was/still is an identified sex offender residing there while I was a resident (Family WatchDog.com)
7. Another resident was arrested and charged with child pornography (he was a doctor at a local hospital)-it was all over the news.
MAINTENANCE
I had many, many, many, many maintenance problems surrounding leaks in my 2nd floor apartment, and although the maintenance staff responded quickly, they do not possess the knowledge or skill level to make correct repairs. I had at least 5 leaks in my bedroom and one in my laundry room over the course of one year and each time the maintenance staff arrived, they advised that "we'll wait for it to dry and paint it". I'd hate to see how much mold is growing in the ceiling of that place.
UTILITIES
1. For 700 square feet of living space I paid (at the most) $90.00 a month in gas. Now, the only thing that ran on gas in my apartment was my hot water heater. I contacted the Woodhawk staff and gas company several times regarding this and was never given an adequate explanation. Now that I'm in a house (almost 2000 square feet) where everything but my heat is gas, I've been paying (last 3 months) an average gas bill of $25.00. I've again contacted to gas company who is opening an investigation based on my previous 1.5 years of service and the drastic decrease in cost given an increase in home size.
2. DO NOT use STTS Cable or Internet. I was fortunate enough to get advice from a neighbor to go with Direct TV (cable) and Verizon (Internet). The Woodhawk Club runs an illegitimate scam. They charge an arm and a leg for service that barely runs because they've spliced the signal so much that it affects everyone's service-based on conversations and experience with my neighbors.
