DO NOT LIVE HERE! OR ANYWHERE WITH COLLEGE PARK IN THE TITLE!!!

I moved here in August and was off to a bad start. The apartment was FILTHY (popcorn in the couch cushions, bathroom was grimy and discusting, carpets were soiled, tile was stained, lights were broken...it took us 4 hours to clean the place. oh but college park said don't worry we have cleaning crews, so they came but they were only allowed to clean the ceiling fans...they "don't do carpets or paint or floors or bathrooms". it took about a month to get our washer fixed. We had water leaking from our ceiling into our kitchen and only with constant calling did they send maintenance over.BUT WHAT DID MAINTENANCE DO?? they told us there was a huge pool of frozen water above us because some painters from the summer had forgotten to turn off the ac. we wanted them to fix it and replace the drywall, but they said all we needed to do was let the water melt and it should be fine...yeah right...keep reading, this gets better... and the WORST....i am now paying for an apartment I currently cannot use and have not been able to use for going on 4 weeks now. The pipes burst because College Park is stupid and did not have thermostats on their sprinkling systems or water systems..they also turned off the heat in the buildings that were not occupied(which is half of them people people are starting to get smart and not live here!) they keep saying my apartment will be ready in a few days..well a few days has turned into a month so far...and now they will not even give me a time frame. they say it's the village of savoy because they won't approve the apartment, but come on, who is working on the repairs that can't get it right that the village keeps condemning the apartments. also, i called the village of Savoy to get the real story and it turns out, all the landlords and their workers have been lying to me. The pipes freezing was a result of their negligence. Also, the main problem now and what is taking so long is the huge, dangerous mold problem the village found while inspecting. They said that all of the EIGHT apartments that had pipes freeze, had large, unsafe amounts of mold, useless fire alarms, and bad sprinkler system. The village inspector said that they have been having problems with college park since the year 2000 and that they are extremely hard to work with.plus, College Park is NOT GIVING ANYONE COMPENSATION. I understand things happen, but just a little compensation to show they actually care would be nice. they offered me an apartment in a really bad area that i declined. then they gave me another one of their crappy, moldy apartments two buildings down from my old one.Me and my roommates both got sick. You cannot beat the price at College Park, but you get treated like crap, lied to by management, and you get put out of your apartment. DO NOT LIVE HERE! i remember reading these and thought that it was just a crabby person writing this, but trust me, everyone who i know who lives here now is not resigning and will never let their worst enemies live here! so DO NOT LIVE HERE!OH AND BESIDES THAT, EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT THERE IS A GROUP OF ABOUT 45 UNDERGRAD PUNKS WHO WAKE ME UP AT 1:30AM FIGHTING IN THE PARKING LOT. THEY ARE DRUNK AND MAY BE ON DRUGS. EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT...IT IS NOT A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE EITHER.
