Resident ā€¢ 2006 - 2008

6/3/2010

I don't even know where to begin. Let me start off by explaining to you that I have lived in this complex for a little over two years. I am a female student at UC; one of the younger tenants by far. I also must let you know, I am extremely organized and clean. Now, They have undergone different management over the years, but the guy there now, is by far the worst. There are certain things that may or may not be acceptable, depending on the perspective of the renter, but my experience at Garfield Tower is one that I hope no one else has to undergo. When I first moved in, everything was great. I always made cookies for the front desk and I liked the residents. But after the first year, I started noticing something weird going on. My things were coming up missing or they would be shifted. Strange considering I ALWAYS lock my doors. Stupidly, I somehow tried to rationalize how I might have done these things. At one point, I couldn't understand how I was missing DVD's that I had just purhcased.... But then, one weekend in particular, I left for Toronto, but this time, I made sure I organized everything in my apartment before I left, to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Of course, I came back to a locked door, but low and behold my dvds were flipped through and some were missing, and the two that I had been missing for a month were conveniently sitting on my bookcase that I had just organized. They returned my DVDs... My pillows were shuffled and a few of my bras and multiple panties were missing (total). For the mere fact that I have no one over and I keep a locked door, the only people that could even possibly get into my apartment is the maintenance men. There are about 4 of them and they are extremely friendly, but it was clear that one or two of them had some freaky fetish going on that I didn't want to stick around for. What if they decided to come in there when I was still in there!? I confronted the manager, and HE DID NOTHING! He refused to listen to my complaint and blamed it on "friends." He spoke to me as if I were a child, refused to show me the cameras in my hallway for that weekend. REFUSED. Until I had my lawyer call him, he didn't take the situation seriously. But, even then, he could not provide me with the tape. He nervously confessed that they had been deleted.....Oh, how convenient. I put in my 30 day notice to leave. BUT WAIT, there's more. I spoke to some other tenants about the situation. They said that they had noticed these sort of things going on in their apts. as well and would pay closer attention. About 2 weeks before I was about to move out, there was some flooding in my bedroom from a leak in the bathroom. I had to call the 24 hour maintenance guy because it was after hours. He comes into my apartment; naturally, I leave the door open. He tells me that after looking at my chart, he noticed that I'm moving out so suddenly. I tell him that I'm not getting along with the manager and that someone has been coming into my room stealing my things. Then he says, "Oh, well did they return anything?" I said, "Excuse me? If I told you someone stole something from me, WHY would you ask me if they returned anything?" BUSTED! Of course, he starts stuttering and tells me some bogus story about how his neighbor came into his house and stole a watch one time,and then later returned it....umm, What? It made me nervous when I caught him; He knew that I knew. I just wanted him to get the h*ll out of my apartment. Again, the manager did nothing! It's Ironic; even though there's a security door to get into the building, another to get into the elevators, and a door to my apartment, a 24 hr. concierge, and cameras in all the hallways and elevators, I still did not feel safe. Ladies, you have been warned...
