Resident 2005 - 2010

8/15/2010

I have lived @ this complex for 5 years. I moved within the complex from one bldg to another months ago. The neighbors upstairs, who have recently moved in, are constantly pounding, goes on for hours. After about the second or third hour, I'll tap on the ceiling to let them know someone lives below them and that I m home. They proceed to deliberately stomp and pound on the floor. How's that for courteous neighbors? When you call the front office about it, the basic response, "Oh, they seem like such a nice couple." Well, this couple I just found out is a family of 5!!! What the heck, it s a one-bedroom apt. This is ridiculous! Yet, I am told to wait a few days and see if it subsides. I leave for a week and stay elsewhere. That was at the beginning of this month, August. When I called about the noise (and this is evening when a person needs to rest) the jerks upstairs won't even open the door for the on-site security, who s checking on the problem, but yet they are stomping on the floor inside while he's outside their door. How do I know this, because security came down to let me know he knocked on the door and no one opened the door, so he said no one was home! They were home. Earlier this week an office staffer -- not the manager, Am*, who seems to do her best not to interact with residents, probably makes her uncomfortable -- staff proceeds to tell me, "Oh, give it another few weeks and see if it dies down." If not, then I'm the one that should relocate. What the heck is wrong with this picture!?!?!?!? What about making sure, expressing to NEW tenants coming in, expressing and reinforce to them the value of long-standing residents -- hey, residents in general, Lakeside's appreciation? Could it be b/c there is none. For the first couple of years it was great. Prior management and staff interacted with the residents, they made you feel when you walked into the office like this place WAS your home, and the place truly felt like you were living in an upscale apartment community. Upkeep on the entire place was impeccable. Since management has changed, things have gone downhill. You walk down the halls marred with bloodstains, built-up dirt balls, trash, dishes/bowls left outside in the halls, walls stained, animal feces and stains from feces in the hallways, condoms in the parking garage strewn about, and unleashed dogs. Oh, and if you are a responsible pet owner, beware. If you walk your dog (with a leash), and the other person's dog isn't on a leash and their animal runs up to yours and your dog tries to defend itself, the person with the leash is the one at fault and owners of unleashed pets will verbally attack you. People having sex in the "sunroom" during the evenings and you can hear them as you re walking by from your car to your place. So I wouldn t sit on those cushions, if I were you. People bringing in bbq pits over to the pool area, broken workout equipment; and if you check out the restrooms before you go into the exercise room wear galoshes and bring in disinfectant. It looks like someone took a water hose (or perhaps the sewage water overflowed) and sprayed the entire restroom, walls, toilets -- everything. The exceptional people who cared about the residents and OUR surroundings had enough of management and left. Management should realize EVEN THOUGH WE, THE RESIDENTS OF LAKESIDE, DO NOT OWN A HOUSE, WHERE WE HAVE MADE THE CHOICE TO RESIDE & PERHAPS SET ROOTS (which IS for quite a few of us), that IS our HOME. Being told by office staff, Well, if you re feeling harassed or threatened, you go ahead and call the police and let them deal with it. What the heck kind-of-way is that to live? Seems like Section 8 housing has arrived here.
