Resident 2006 - 2008

7/24/2009

Melrose Aparments was, by far, my worst apartment experience. I moved in with three of my friends to the 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom apartment. Walls are THIN in this place. The TV in our living room would sound like it was in my own bedroom, even with the door closed and the sound at a pretty decent level. Dealing with maintenance is a complete waste of time. Our dishwasher was breaking at one point, and we put in maintenance request after maintenance request for them to fix their own mistake (they hadn't bolted it into the shelving correctly). It wasn't untill the thing nearly fell on top of my roomate (who was in a wheelchair, btw) and we call them up screaming that they finally sent someone in to fix their problem. We had our smoke alarms issuing these screaching beeps every few minutes. Remember that there are four of them in our apartment (one in front of each bedroom). We tried changing the batteries multiple times. They kept screaching. We put in a maintenance request, and proceeded to live with the horrendus noise for a month before they finally got someone out to flip a single switch that stopped them (something to do with them being connected to a security system that was supposed to be disabled in the first place). Not to mention the people that lived above us. We got into the habit of calling them the four elephants. They could not, for the life in them, keep the noise at a decent level. Music was always blaring, causing walls to shake a points. They would play basketball and would wrestle in their apartment. Our window pains would shake to the point we thought they would break. We complained about the noise level so many times, and management never did a thing about it. The worst part, they always did this in the middle of the night, usually on school nights, when most of us were trying to get at least some sleep. My friend in the wheelchair fell out of her bed and messed up her hip hitting the floor because of the sheer amount of noise these people made. Two of us were put on sleeping pills just to get some measure of sleep with them above us. And management did nothing. I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy.
