Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2007
 
I moved here in April 2007 from Cincinnati, Ohio. Shortly after moving in, I began to feel uncomfortable with the environment. I heard gunshots outside (not necessarily from this complex), within 2 weeks of moving in. Within the first 6 weeks there was a fight between two women and I heard someone yell for one of them to get rid of the knife.
The caps on the wheels of my truck were stolen during the first month.
I was constantly weaving my way through people sitting on the stairs leading to my apartment, handing out cigarettes to persons standing around, and being awakend by loud groups outside.
Twice one night last week, someone was pounding on my door hard enough that I thought it might break free. I called the police and immediately left my apartment. The next morning I spoke with the management, advised them what had occurred, and fully expected that they would make some attempt to address the issue of groups congregating and at least disperse those who were not residents and identify residents who were attracting these groups.
Two days later, my burglar alarm awoke me at 5:00 AM as someone tried to force open the door to my apartment. Again, a call to the police and a trip to the office. I'll admit I was extremely angry and was pretty loud at the office. The manager is probably one of the most frustrating people I've ever dealt with. Even while I was speaking to her she seemed oblivious. The Manager, Maria, had made no reasonable attempt to address this issue when she was first notified. I'm not sure if she can find her way around the complex. Although, Lena, a leasing agent, did bring me an eviction notice for failure to pay my june rent. Even after telling her the check for my june rent had cleared on May 17th, she still couldn't quite grasp the concept. The only bright spot at the Office is Cathy. She seems very responsive and knowledgable, but unfortunately, she is not the manager.
This is a dangerous place to live. Management has taken no action, that I'm aware of, to address the safety of their tenants. Obviously if you have children, you should avoid this complex. I don't have visitors anymore because I don't want to expose them to this environment.
