I wrote an earlier review but i thought i should tell what happened to us after that review. We had a patch in my daughter's room's ceiling (she was only a few months old at the time of this) we noticed that it was beginning to stain as if something black was leaking through, also, the patch was falling off at the corners and it was starting to bulge. We fought with management/maitenence for weeks before they finally came to look at it, they told us it couldnt possibly be a water leak and said they'd be back the next day to fix the patch... weeks later they finally show up..and guess what? our entire ceiling was filled with water from a leaky pipe that had (obviously) had to be repaired before. The repair job was awful. Management wouldnt let maitenence buy a new pipe so they had to do a temporary fix (at this point we moved our baby to a relatives because the smell of mold was so awful we didnt want her breathing it in) the temp. fix broke. our apartment flooded. They fixed it. we flooded again. they fixed it. we flooded again. they fixed it.. finally one night we put our baby to bed after the 5-6th fix to the pipe and around 11pm (when normally we would have been asleep but we had stayed up late) the pipe broke again.. scalding hot water sprayed all over my baby's room and her crib, even dousing the hallway outside.. it was so hot i couldnt even go into get my daughter who wasnt crying (i thought she was dead surely!) my husband managed to retreive our daughter by putting a blanket over his head... we called maitenence and it took them over an hour and a half to arrive (by then our apartment was flooded under several inches of scalding hot water and almost all our possessions were ruined) my daughter's ceiling had completely collapsed into her bed and the walls were caving in from the water damage... even our neighbor was flooded! The management only moved us into another apartment AFTER we requested it (we surely couldnt live there!) and refused to pay for the damages because "they could not have forseen the pipe breaking" even though it had happened numerous times, including that very day! They should have called a plumber from DAY ONE but refused to provide adequate service. We are extremely grateful that a miracle happened that night and our daughter was not drowned in her crib, crushed, or burned alive. I would suggest that all parents steer clear of this god-forsaken apartment and it's staff from hell!
