Resident ā€¢ 2004 - 2005

10/12/2005

I have lived here for about ten months, and I have experienced many of the same things others mentioned.<br><br>1) Residents are extremely noisy and like to party. My downstairs neighbors were in the habit of STARTING their parties at 2-3 am when the bars closed. I had to complain about four times before anything changed.<br><br>2) Other neighbors smoke constantly, both regular cigarettes AND POT! I can't leave my windows open, even though it's hot and stuffy. The other night my 3-month-old baby was sleeping in my bed, and when I came back in the room, it was full of pot smoke! Of course the management says there is nothing they can do.<br><br>3) There is also the problem of the DAILY leaf blowers that come by. Not only do they sound like a chainsaw is in your bedroom, but they have come by as early as 7:30am, and the exhaust from the motor comes in through the window. Nothing like carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, and marijuana coming in through the windows where your baby sleeps!<br><br>4) There have also been numerous domestic disputes, we're talking serious wife beating, screaming, etc, in more than one apartment. I have called the police more times in the 10 months I have lived here than an entire 8 years living on Division Street in SE Portland, a major road. This speaks volumes about the quality of the people this apartment complex allows to live here.<br><br>5) The management is really not responsive to your calls. Another thing I experienced was a two-day notice that they were repaving the entire complex, and I would not be allowed to park ANYWHERE near my apartment, despite the fact that I had PAID for my parking space. I had a newborn baby, and I had to cancel all my plans so I could make sure I had a parking place, then have someone drive me and the baby back to my apartment. They had no sympathy for this situation. I then had to hike back to my car with my baby when the paving was over. Fun!
