          HI there, our management team is reaching out today to try to make the best of a situation gone bad. I apologize for the data error on our part - the team clicked the Approved button in the back end of our system when it should not have been clicked. Our application criteria does not include an exact credit score because we consider each application from multiple perspectives: background check, credit score, credit history, and rental history. The credit score is considered on a sliding scale based on how it balances with the other factors. Regardless, you're right: This was not handled in the best manner possible and we'll be working with you today to make this right.

                  *BEWARE* There is a known issue with the building's fire detection/suppression system in the common areas. This issue is *NOT* related to the quarterly fire alarm tests.

                    Hello, To be clear, as I indicated yesterday in my response to your other review, there is not an ongoing safety issue at The Brownstone. Hopefully this additional information will help alleviate your stress: We contract with Tyco SimplexGrinell to handle our fire alarm testing and with Monona Plumbing for the building wide sprinkler system tests. Both systems are tested by Monona Plumbing's certified personnel on a quarterly basis (this is when the alarms go off). Additionally there are annual state checks on the fire detection/suppression system, and monthly checks by the Middleton Fire Department. It simply isn't an option to not pass these tests. Further, the two examples you cite indicate that the alarm system is working as intended - a problem occurred and the alarm was activated. I'm fairly certain our management team has talked to you about these issues multiple times. Our door remains open if you have further questions or concerns. Thank you, Jenny

                      Hi msn_dvlp, I'm sorry your experience at The Brownstone on Old Sauk has turned into a negative one. It's disheartening to hear you classify the Brownstone a "slum" and that you think that we've stopped caring about the building. This is not the case. The Brownstone is one of our flagship properties and our intentions are to maintain its Class A+ rating for the long-term. I want to assure you that the gas and water issues you referenced were isolated ones - there are no systemic or ongoing gas or water issues. In the last 6 weeks, there has been a leaking gas valve that was caused by a resident cleaning behind their stove, a resident who accidentally left a gas burner open and unlit, and water in the garage due to a leaking tub on the first floor. The close timing is unfortunate, but the problems themselves are routine for property management. The garage entrance is a product of poor engineering. We try to manage it best we can, but without an easement on the neighboring property it's next to impossible to change the grade of the driveway. There are a few ongoing problems that we continue to improve as best we can, as you've highlighted here. We do perform quarterly building-wide fire alarm tests. Sorry, we know it's a hassle but it's a requirement. You should be getting a posting re. the tests in advance; let me know if you're not. And, lastly the "odd guy" is on our radar (action is being taken), and we haven't changed the appliance quality spec for the building. Did something happen in your apartment to cause this concern? Thank you for your feedback and letting us know what you're experiencing. If there's anything we can do to alleviate your frustration I can be reached at jenny@stevebrownapts.com. Sincerely, Jenny Oppriecht Marketing Director
