Resident ā€¢ 2002 - 2004

I lived here for two years too long... <br> <br>The apartments are in pretty rough condition and the complex itself is very run down. AIMCO bought the building a few years ago, taking out a huge loan with the hopes of renovating it and making a profit. Three contractors later and a balcony project that took over a year to fully complete, the money for renovating is gone and corporate management is just trying to stay in the black. <br> <br>Local management has been mixed. The current folks (Winter 2003/4) are well intentioned but are basically ineffective. Maint staff is worthless. They respond in 24hrs as promised, just donĀ“t trust their ability to fix anything. However, the current crop is much better than the previous group that was running the business office and not as prone to outright lying. <br> <br>The worst problem with the building is other tenants. Proof that a couple bad apples can definitely ruin it for the bunch. Everyday the garbage chute area was filled with bags of garbage, large items, recyclables, etc that people were too lazy to thrown into the chute itself or take the elevator/stairs down to properly dispose of them. I canĀ“t remember a time when I was able to get into an elevator without litter present on the floor. The hallways are dismal looking and lights are out in places. The carpeting is stained with water from the many leaks on each floor. <br> <br>Other than that, it was a roof over my head and the view of the river was nice...with the housing market booming, apartment prices have finally stabilized in the area and Riverside is just not worth it anymore. All the promised improvements ...yea right, yet to see one other than a balcony that had a jackhammer outside my window for six months while I was on shiftwork.
