Resident 2009 - 2010

6/12/2010

Only okay

My wife and I moved here when expecting our first child. It was the cheapest place we could find without moving to Detroit or paying for more than the electric bill in utilities. We didn't get a chain quick enough so some fairly valuable things were stolen from our storaage unit within the first month of moving in, but no such issues afterward; though there is an issue with outside doors being left open, when they could be locked shut, and neighbors allowing just anyone into the building. Each building has three sections and anyone from any section can access the others via the bastment. There are only two washers and dryers in my building, assume it's similar for the others. They are standard size, so there's typically more loads to be done. Theres a more economical laundry mat a mile away. Windows are pretty archaic... they offer no insulation to heat or sound. Needless to say the winter is very cold near them, shouting, yelling, and level speaking can penetrate them easily. The heat is baseboard from a boiler for each building... they heat must be turned on from the boiler by management... they took a while in 2009. Walls, doors, and ceilings are thin(it is an older complex). Noise from basement is easily heard, espescially above the washer and dryer sections. We has issues with our neightbors above us with noise(see below on that issue). No issues with neighbors across or next to us, though the outer doors can be heard slamming shut all times of day. Layout in particular is nice, though the AC doesn't reach the bedroom or bathroom easily. Bed and bathrooms are decent sized. Decent closet space. Managment is okay, they try to be understanding. Maintenance, are VERY friendly people, some of the friendliest people I know. Request can take up to a week to address based on severity, but there's only a couple guys for the complex. Snow removal was a little unorganized, but worked. Caliber of residents moving in has dropped in a year. Less than desirable activity has occured(little music from vehicles). Police has been around several times in last three months. The issue with management and our neighbors up stairs... they had been making a lot of noise, waking up my daughter in the night, and anytime my daughter cried, they stomped around the apartment as though there were a problem(They have a child a week older than mine). We reacted with our own stomping, hitting the walls, and loud music. The male occupant approached me in the parking lot in a threatening manner. My wife wrote a note and taped it to their door. They felt threatened and turned it into management who said that they've never had a problem with them before with noise, and said we could call them, or the police if it happened again, but basically didn't believe us and sided with them. We attempted to tell management again, but they never did anything, and eventually we called the police... and even as I type this, they stomp. I will be calling the police again.
