OTMARomanov

Resident 2010 - 2012

11/1/2013

Where I came from rent was controlled by the state and so was the availability of living quarters. The ceilings there were 1.9 meters, heat in the winter was always questionable, water froze in the pipes and burst, and no air conditioning. You already knew you were in a crime zone when you entered the building, since the Bratva (mafia) controlled the neighborhood. But there was little to no crime since the Bratva were the criminals and nothing happened without their permission. Here, everytime I turn around, someone new is robbing me. The rent goes up but the quality of the apartment goes down. The noise goes on and gets louder at night and on weekends. Laundry gets stolen and no one cares. I sit in my car and watch but the neighborhood hooligans still take my laundry from the facility. Why do they want a woman's laundry? The young boys threaten me. I have called the police but they respond too late and tell me the dollar value of the crime is too small. It's my property but I can't protect it and the police won't defend me. The walls between the apartments are thinner here than in the Ukraine. My neighbors don't understand me when I place a call home but I hear them using profanity day and night. Does the cursing mean more when it is shouted? I studied English for 6 years before I came to this country. I never learned or was taught the way they speak. When I go to the management office, they complain about my accent. It is absurd when you know that somewhere in their family line, they came here just like me. none of the managers or maintenance workers live on the property, so they don't care. They take their lunches and disappear longer than the notices they post. They close before the posted hours. They don't care and no one seems to be able to make them do what needs doing. Walls crack due to foundation settling; doors don't close well due to foundation shifting; paint peals or fades since they don't use quality paint; the carpet is laughable; all the floors upstairs make noises. The insects have taken over the wall space and are immune to Raid spray. Even the Bratva wouldn't allow this yet this is permitted here. I have 5 more years before I can become a citizen. I will move when my lease is up to a place that has better management, more courteous management staff, maintenance who can actually repair something, and less insects. Shame on Dominion Yorkshire. Some colleagues helped me move to another apartment but still in York county. I feel much safer, it is quieter, no one bothers me, no one has stolen from me, and there are no insect pests. Don't rent in Yorkshire Downs. It is worse than living in a foreign country -- I know since I came here from a foreign country.
