Resident 2009

6/12/2009

Drove by this apartment complex and thought how convenient that it was near the shopping center as well as facing the water and decided to go and check the place out. Went in and toured the property with the property manager and thought this place has some nice amenities which are underground parking garage, garbage shutes on each floor, laundry rooms on each floor, a gym and a pool. Well after moving in here I have discovered that I have made a huge mistake in moving here. Even though the lease that everyone signs mentions house rules they are not enforced. We have people coming and going at all hours and most of them are very noisy and rude. If you put in for a maintenance request, it can forever for it to get fixed. One example is the light in the hallway by the garbage room between the two garage areas has been out a month now. The light inside the garage area is never on and so after it gets dark, the hallway is dark too which makes for a very unsafe area. If someone were to trip, fall and injure themselves in that area, they could sue the owner. The property is suppose to be secured but the front door is frequently left open even by the property manager and people walk onto the property when a car drives through the gate. We had three bicycles stolen in the garage in one day all with locks that were cut with a lock cutter. The whole place is a mess with an old oversized couch like chair sitting by the recycle bin in the garage, hallway carpets and stairwells are dirty and disgusting, the washers are not wiped down so sometimes you will find hair or left over liquid detergent of some kind on or in the washer, and the maintence guy works whenever he wants as he works a full time job so he does the work on the property on his time off. This means he is always behind on the work, doesn't care how much noise he makes even when working late into the night or on the weekends when the rest of us tenants would like some peace and quiet. Since I have moved in, I rarely get a full night's rest since either my neighbors, a visitor or the maintenance guy is making a lot of noise. It use to be that quiet hours were from 10pm-9am but a number of tenants or visitors do not seem to care about being noisy when someone might be trying to sleep. Someone's car alarm is set way too high and so it goes off from time to time. It went off at 1am this past week which is really annoying for those of us who have to be up at a very early hour to get to work. There are so many families in this complex who seem to think they are the only ones here and can allow their children to scream, cry and throw tantrums. I spent last weekend listening to my neighbors child crying and screaming for over several hours. The property manager has this full of herself attitude and basically is only there to protect the property owner. She cares nothing about the tenants and only pretends to care but then does nothing to help. I have heard her scream at her kids one day and that was very upsetting not to mention noisy. The place is old and badly needs renovating but the owner doesn't seem to care. They did post a notice on the front door to the building that they were going to renovate the windows, doors and balconies of the units facing the water but if there is going to be any sort of renovating going on for the rest of the property, they have yet to properly notify the tenants by putting a letter on each tenants door explaing what is going to happen and when. This place has not been an enjoyable experience and as soon as I can find a new place to live, I am moving out of this place. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!
