Resident 2011 - 2012

11/1/2012

The mass quantity of negative reviews speaks for itself, as they are all correct. I have lived here for over a year now, and I daily sit in my apartment listening to "adults" and children screaming, fighting, and tearing up things while dreaming of being back in the St. Roch area...because the shootings, noise level, safety, and neighbors were all better there. Which is pretty bad. I had serious reservations about moving here, but was lured in with many false promises including, but not limited to: gated parking, 24 hour a day security, 24 hour a day free maintenance, that my electric would be cheaper due to the solar panels they were putting in, and the noise level was low since it was primarily a residence for working adults and that they "did not tolerate house or street parties" or unruly children and adults. I thought paying $900 a month was a bit steep for the area, but I was willing to pay for at least a year of relative peace. I have now paid $900 a month for over a year to be constantly harassed by my neighbors, not have anything repaired correctly the first second or tenth time around, and to be a prisoner in my home. I like my apartment, but I'd also like to leave it without being threatened, stalked, having things thrown at my car, my dogs, and myself, and so forth. No one will come to my neighborhood to give me a ride now, since everyone I know has now had to call the police over the kids here getting into their cars and/or refusing to let them in my house or back into their car. I have also had my car damaged as well as a vehicle of a visitor, and my house was broken into numerous times-by a maintenance man. I've had home made bombs tossed onto my porch and every time they can get fireworks I have to be sure nothing on my balcony is flammable and that neither my dogs nor myself are out there until my neighbors are inside as they shoot pop bottle rockets at me, almost got one into my house, and managed to hit my elderly dog with one. The management is no help, and the security flatly tells you that they are only here as a presence. They do show up to the house parties, but it's to drink. Even with all of this recorded the management will do nothing. I have been told repeatedly that because I pay my own rent and they have theirs paid for by HUD that they can't do anything...and yes, everyone here knows that they can get away with anything which makes it even more wonderful. When the gated parking is working (which has happened for roughly one week out of the year I have been here) everything is worse because the police cannot immediately get back there to stop the drug dealing and partying going on. My car cannot be parked there anyway, because I have a front apartment, even though I specifically said I wanted the gated parking and was told I'd get it. Not unlike the solar panels: I was kept up for months while they worked on the things, but I never got any because I'm not in the right position on the earth. While I understand that, I am the only person in my building without them, and I was promised them. Additionally, if you have gated parking you now have a makeshift car port too! The solar panels were not in the right place back there either, but they built the car ports and placed them on top...so they have: one hundred dollars or less in electricity than I do, a car port, two entrances to their homes, and gated parking. I could live with that if it were not for the people here making my life hell-including the management who has gone out of their way for the last six months to harass me; strangely this happened after I filed a report regarding the break ins at my house and demanded that they do something about the children running around breaking things and literally setting things on fire. The management cannot be reached while they are hassling you either! Mysteriously, once they dump a nasty note on your door (or in the latest case, waded up behind my plant) telling you that you have 48 hours to comply the manager in question cannot be reached. They have seriously hidden in their offices! This is the most unprofessional disaster zone of an apartment complex I have ever lived in. Please, unless you like living in a war zone where children are chunking bombs at you and teenagers are shooting up the end of the block every other month, do NOT do this to yourself! Turn away right now before they screw you out of so much money you can't afford to leave. Also, they are breed biased about dogs, which is disgusting. They have a list of "dangerous" breeds you can't own and your dog(s) have to come in to be seen before you are approved. They are not dog experts, most of them admittedly do not even like pets, so I'm not sure how their exclusive judgement can be had as to whether or not your dog is a certain breed or mix thereof, let alone whether it is aggressive. Unsurprisingly, there are several of these mixes here anyway, but don't even try to get away with it...it's not worth the effort, your dog will be tortured by these kids and their parents will sit a block away encouraging them to do so because it's apparently funny. This place is a nightmare. An expensive nightmare at that.
