Horrible 13 months at BC

From: Rob1979

Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2005
 
In the 13 months I was there, I was towed once, robbed by the maintenance there and am still fighting to get my security deposit back. I complained about the lack of visitor parking spots even before I was towed. I was towed when visiting a friend after I had moved out. In the "Phase 2" area, there are approximatelym 15-20 Vistor Spots for an area that holds 15 buildings holding between 8-16 units each. Keep in mind that some people who live there have multiple cars and since they restrict you on how many passes you can have for your automobiles (2 for a 2BR 2BA apartment that I had), you are left fighting for one of the few visitor spots that are there. I can understand about towing if there are no spots, however their were pleanty of spots available, just no visitor spots. $100 later I was able to get my car out of impound.

As for the robbery, I had maintenance come and fix my dishwasher, only to discover that over $50 was taken out of my change jar. I went and complained and the person there told me that I had to call the police. THE POLICE'!'! Come on, they have better things to do then to come write a report for $50. The principle was I felt violated and even presented the property manager with the names of the people who were in my apartment. When the two men were approached by her asking about the robbery, they denied it and it was dropped. Discussing the robbery with the property manage, I felt as if I was talking to a wall and left it at that and in a huff.

They have two mailboxes outside for people to put outgoing mail in. Countless times I found people's rent checks in there. Thousands of dollars!!!! Being the honest person I am I notified them of the checks being put into the wrong mailbox, and did give them the rent checks from other people. Suggesting that they put a tag on there saying "this is not for rent checks" they moved to "make note" of it, but never executed doing such a small task. I continued to send my mail through those mailboxes, and I continued to find people's rent checks in there. The way the management is setup there makes me beleive that it is prepared for an eventual failure judging on the amount of people who have been moving out over the 13 months I was there.
