Resident ā€¢ 2018 - 2019

11/11/2019

Positives: Helpful Management: Weidner Lakeside manager - Rachel - takes issues of yours seriously and tries her best to follow-up and obtain some type of accountability. Maintenance: Prompt, Resident Friendly, Thorough Promptly sealed up areas with calk where I found ants entering in bathroom. No sightings for two weeks but saw one other day. No windows open lately. Strongly suspect coming from common hallway through door frame gap and under door possibly from other or another resident's apartment. Wonderful quick job of maintenance as well in replacing my hot water heater that suddenly broke unawares to myself and cleanup here mostly for unfortunate downstairs neighbors that the water leaked onto. Close to Interurban trail. Only a quick 10 minute walk over 60th avenue hill and down to the left or right and you are there. Close to I-5 for convenience/travel. Large expansive apartments with solid walls that keep out adjoining neighbors' noise. Negatives: Dumpsters: Overflowing often. Old car seats, mattresses and furniture strewn around from inconsiderate residents. All residents have to pay in trash bill for pickup. Fire Safety: Many newer residents including those "grandfathered in" have illegal BBQ grills & charcoal/propane tanks on patios/balconies that they also obviously are currently using. Violation of lease but no one held accountable. Lack of Lead & Asbestos Lakeside Apt. Building specific information: Chipped paint found around apt and common area doorways, windows, and stairwell banisters. Possible lead dust outside. Possible asbestos leaking from old vinyl floor. Possible exposure if screws drilled in walls. Do-it-yourself cheap kits are not effective, comprehensive or accurate. Need professionals to test building and apartment, but expensive. I should not have to pay this. Corp Weidner management agreed to pay for only $100 or less (which I was appreciative of as it was something at least) for do-it-yourself $44 kit. I asked if and where asbestos and lead are located in apartment buildings -- was told "they didn't know." Not acceptable. Hope this changes for future residents. Can get water tested . Security: Lack of. No patrol cars that I have seen often in area. No security cameras installed in common areas in and around apt. buildings which would have caught the person/people who stole my personal airline lost luggage delivered that the airline courier just left at my doorstep in the hallway August 30th and theft of a Fedex package in June - all within 2 months of this past Summer-2019. No hallway security cams. Evidence I observed as well as suspicious activity point to theft by nearby residents. Found new evidence but police cannot be bothered to update my case or get back to me. Other residents irrationally offended by signs on my door expressing my healthy frustration/anger and letting perpetrators I knew who did this (no names or apt#s). Other Residents: Some friendly. Many passive aggressive. Many untrustworthy. Many too cowardly to complain about other resident transgressions for fear of being "that neighbor"- fear of retaliation, which I am experiencing now and have with the suspicious (with my luggage theft) nearby neighbors who let their kids run repeatedly in hallway outside my door even after talked with by management to purposely annoy/harass me. I took that risk to stand up for my boundaries being infringed on and naming the truth. Lots of entitled parents here with families, many with 4 or more kids. Have attitude "kids will be kids." and that you are the problem for being annoyed. Poor excuse and lazy parenting. Many unruly unsupervised children running around. Protected class like families and children, but that should not mean they can make excessive noise infringing other residents right to quiet enjoyment of their apartment. Loud screaming, shouting, and squealing children heard often with windows open right outside apartment windows to courtyard. Cannot focus. Alarming. Angering. Kids allowed to make all the noise they want.
