Resident 2002 - 2004

4/2/2014

I lived here for two years. The first year, I really liked it. However, the second year, the management was offering a steep discount to people who worked within a couple of miles of the complex. While the cheaper rates were nice for me, it invited a lot of "undesirables" to move into the complex. (e.g.: There was a known prostitute who moved into one of the three bedroom units.) I no longer felt safe there. When I was in college, the apartment complex I lived in sent maintenance out every spring and fall to change the batteries in the smoke detectors in every unit. That didn't happen at Harrison Place. I lived on the third floor, which had vaulted ceilings (even the first and second floor units had 9' ceilings). There was no way I could reach two of the smoke detectors. One evening, one of the smoke detectors started beeping due to a low battery. I had to argue with maintenance and management to replace it after hours since it wasn't an "emergency". They expected me to listen to a beeping smoke detector from 8pm until the next morning. The walls are paper thin. I could literally hear someone in the next door apartment urinating. I could hear the conversations of people next door even when they were speaking at a normal volume. The siding outside of my balcony was filthy. The day I moved in, my father asked about getting it cleaned. We were told it was being done before the end of the month. It was never cleaned in the two years I lived there. Other residents smoked in the stairwell. Of course that smell would make its way into the units! One of my co-workers lived in another building at Harrison Place. One of the maintenance crew lived under her and smoked in his apartment. My coworker would come into work reeking of cigarette smoke because the smell was seeping up into her apartment. When she complained to management, maintenance was sent and applied a white, scented powder to her furnace filter. They claimed it would filter the smell, but all it did was make her apartment stink like potpourri. The final straw leading to me moving out was when the management did nothing to deal with a barking dog next door. A neighbor across the hall moved in with a small pomeranian. It barked loudly all.the.time. The neighbor worked 12 hour shifts and left the dog alone during that time. (No wonder the poor thing barked constantly!) The day they moved in, after the dog had barked for four straight hours and the owner had already left it, I called the office to ask what they could do about the dog barking. So, management knew the day it moved in that this dog was a problem. For two months I suffered interrupted sleep because this dog was so loud and persistent. Residents of four other units in my stairwell complained to management as well, yet nothing was done. When my lease was up, I told management I was moving out due to the incessant barking. They offered for me move to another apartment in the complex. Why on earth should I have to move when it was someone else's dog being a nuisance?! I moved to a complex owned by the same company as the apartments I lived in during college. That company has a noise policy for animals: After animal noise complaints have been verified by management or maintenance three times, the animal is evicted.
