2005-06-24 02:40:32   having lots of plants outside means lots of bugs get inside and crawl all over the place —JohnWong

2006-02-24 06:54:15   Slow to fix things at the beginning of the year. No one knows what's going on in the office at all. Generally nice place, huge roofs on one stories so it would be inefficent to heat up. Back yard nice (full of rocks), although when the leaves fall in fall you may need to get a rake and get rid of them so you don't have a large compost pile. They do yard work at 7am every Tuesday morning. Very sharable rooms, bathroom- nice. No bugs or rodents that we know of. —ChristyMarsden

Okay, just a journal post with comments about this place that someone made, I would integrate them, but not having lived here, being tired and such, I rather leave it to some gnome. http://community.livejournal.com/ucdavis/3674342.html Enjoy.

2007-05-11 13:46:23   The management for Brisa is joined with Sorrento and Avalon, and is absolutely terrible. (I'm posting anonymously because I am still under lease with them and would rather not further my household's maltreatment. My household has a bunch of friends in our neighborhood, who all feel similarly and have had similar problems with the management.) The manager, Linda, speaks to her tenants in an extremely undermining tone, and for a while, her assistant (another lady) was a lot nicer, but now they've both seemed to take on the same demeanor. When you put in a report for something, they don't give you a date for when your problem will be taken care of, and more often than not, if you don't follow up with them, it will never get done. Some tenants have had to send every member of their household to follow up on the management in order for something to get done.

They seem to have no concern with the safety of their tenants. Several tenants have reported black widows inside their houses and have asked for intervention, and the manager, Linda, replies, "Oh, well, we have spiders, too." Wow, what an uneducated reply. They also have a lack of respect for tenants' desire for privacy. Some tenants do not give permission to enter, and the management replies to that request with even further prolonging of attention to problems, blaming the fact that the tenants don't give permission to enter and they need to be able to enter whenever is most convenient for them (hence the reason for not setting schedules and dates for repairs). On top of that, on several occasions, when they do give their tenants a date of entry, more often than not, they do not show up, or they give an absurd window of time that staff will arrive e.g. between 9am and 5pm.

Also note serious bug problems: when I first moved in, we had a serious ant problem, and every spring when the weeds grow in around our house, we always have a serious spider problem, so you need to hassle the management to have the front and backyard cleaned. Honestly, the only reason I am still under lease with them is because my housemates and I like the location and would rather not move for our last year at UCD. Most of the houses are right off of the park, which is nice if you like to play tennis, have bbqs, etc. My advice would be to look somewhere else, wait until the management changes, or be prepared to fix a lot of things yourself. —AnonymousTenant

I am Linda and I am sorry that my efforts have not been satisfactory to you and your roommates.

I admit I was not a responsive to your spider concern as I could have been. Spiders, like ants, are a seasonal occurrence in Davis. That is not an excuse, please accept my apology and be assured, based in part on your comments, that we now offer the option for interior professional treatment of these insects upon a resident's request.

We make every effort to respond to maintenance requests within 24 hours of receipt. Some delay is conceivable because we do prioritize our responses so that, for example, a new water leak would take precedent over a previously scheduled light bulb or filter replacement.

We do respect our residents' privacy and that is one reason why we will not enter a house without permission.

Again, I offer my apologies and, I will work on my tone. Thanks for the comment.

I am pleased that you like the location.

- Linda Rogers

2009-06-30 20:47:01   I enjoy living here, its peaceful and quiet. I just wished we had some sort of study lounge with a giant white board and desks, because I feel like other apartment complexes have amenities like that with a pool table, etc. —MissAmyQ
