| - I haven't had too many issues with the apartment, but there are problems. It's a fairly quiet area. Our seasonal bugs are minimal (maybe 1 or 2 each summer), but if you get more, the pest control comes every Tuesday and will spray (pet friendly) for free, unless the infestation is due to neglect. We did a walk through of the apartment we were going to get, however someone else got that apartment before we did. There was no walk through on the apartment we received.
1) A month ago the power went out on Jones and Rainbow, and every other building lost power (mine being one). The gates were stuck closed so no one could come or go so the manager decided to pack all the cars in the entrance way, the cars that were in parking spots got blocked in. This "GENIUS" move caused cars to be blocking traffic on Jones because no one knew what was going on, and by the time they figured it out, another car had come behind them and they were stuck. The gates could not be opened manually. This is a MAJOR safety violation; we are lucky there wasn't a fire or medical emergency. The power was out for 3 hours.
2) They had the routine fire extinguisher maintenance in April. You got a notice to drop off the extinguisher to the office before XX date, if you didn't, they forced entry into your place to retrieve it. I left for work at 8 am, so I tried to drop it off on my way out, office didn't open till 9 and was closed when I got home. I had to take my lunch and drive across town to give them the extinguisher. We got the extinguishers back in late July. Also a safety issue.
3) The emergency maintenance number on the office goes to voicemail. Might as well wait 'till morning to go to the office. However, we submitted an online maintenance request late at night, and the maintenance man came at 7 the following morning. It seems they are starting to replace the carpets when a resident leaves, too bad they didn't do that before we moved in. Our carpet has giant stains everywhere from previous tenants.
4) They gave us a months notice to resign the lease or move, but you have to give a written 30 day notice you are leaving. How does that even work?
5) I walked past a junk car that had a flat tire for 3 weeks before it was finally taken care of. Interesting, because when I went on a week vacation, I came back to a notice saying I had 24 hours to move my car or it would be towed.
***We will be moving when our lease is up because this apartment is not worth $1,000+ per month***
