Resident 2007 - 2009

4/11/2009

We have lived in Hollandale for 2 years. In that time, my daughter has made a few friends, however many of the kids that I have encountered here are not supervised very well. We have encountered young teens "making out" in the courtyard behind us, as well as teens rolling joints and smoking them in the same area. There are "shady" characters, strolling around in vehicles talking to kids. This happened to a neighbor boy age 15, who was taking a walk and was out front of my building. he just ran up to my apartment to get away. Thes people were urging him to get in the car and show them the way to a building. We did call the police and they found them circling our building and admitted to what the young man said had happenend. The noise level in our building is ridiculous. We have a family with 3 kids upstairs and it sounds like a herd of buffalo. this occurs after the quiet time of 9 pm and sometimes as early as 7 am. We have complained to the neighbor and management who do nothing. The noise is so extreme that oftentimes my light fixtures shake and pictures on the wall move. There needs to be a lot of renovations done here. kitchens need updating with newer cabinets and more of them. Storage is horrible in the kitchen. widows need to be replaced as the cold air that comes is is intolerable. Right after we moved in, the toilet in the apartment above overflowed and sent water through the light fixture in my bathroom ceiling, which in turn leaked into the hallway ceiling. they fixed this, with a patch and a sloppy paint job. when the pipes in my other bathroom froze and bits of the ceiling were falling in the tub, the did a patch job on that as well, but in turn leaving plaster in the tub and on the bedroom carpet to harden. Not good workmanship. For what they charge I think they could do a bit better maintanance. There is a laundry room in the building. 2 washers and 2 dryers which are about from the 1980s im geussing. If you dont use powder detergenti wouldnt reccommend using these washers. People use powder in them and do not clean them, this in turn leaves a white residue on your clothes, however there is note saying not to use it. Upon complaining about this the office replied there was nothing they could do. We pay 1.50 per wash and 1.50 per dry. When people pay they have a right not to have clothes ruined. All in all, I believe Hollandale is not what they claim to be, especially not for what they charge. We will be moving soon.
