The dumpsters were always overflowing and were not picked up often enough for the number of people living there. The laundry rooms were supposed to be locked and everyone had a key to get in but people lost the keys so they just broke in and the locks were not fixed. cloths would get stolen. Anything you left out would be stolen and by other tennants. There were criminals living there and a police raid on one apartment some time back. This place went from working class people trying to get ahead to scammers who knew how to work the system. The grounds were often dirty and they were always looking for some tennant to clean the place up for minimum wage. They were pooly built and had lots of electrical issues, I'm suprised the place hasnt burned down with some of the problems I experienced. Maintanence was often slow with the maintanence workers only schedualed for one day a week. Then theres the inspections. Since the places is subsidised they do annual inspections of your apartment and it has to be spotless, and if the manager is on a power trip you will have problems. There will also be investor inspection where they will tell you they "might" inspect your apartment so you could have strangers poking around in your place at any time. The managers are no help if you have any issues with nieghbors, if they are noisy its your problem. Parking is cramped and even though you have assigned spaces people park wherever they want. Cars also get broken into. They have a long list of rules you have to abide by but the managers only enforced them when they wanted to. kids were supposed to be indoors by 9:00 pm but there were kids often running around until very late at night and on one occasion I heard some kids out at 2:00 am. Rents are based on you income and you have to recertify evey year and you must disclose every asset you have or had during the last year so they are very into every aspect of your life. —SteveV

2008-07-23 20:20:43   I agree to some of what "STEVE" is saying, I moved here with the hope that I could live in a nice complex, and be comfortable and happy, unfortunately I have learned that low income means low standards, and no maintenance! I have so many issues with this place. This place looks like everything in it has been here since day one! That's not a good thing when the floors and cabinets, counter tops, and rug are barely hanging in! Now these apartments have a new manager on a POWER TRIP! If you disagree in anyway with her she throws smirks and whispers under her breath to her mother or daughter who she totes around with her to work. Its scary to think that you have to live in fear of saying the wrong things, or you will get the boot! I feel sorry for anybody who has little ones, I have seen her in action, she bolts at the children with a crazed look and follows them home all the while scolding them! Beware of this woman she is quit frightening, what type of world do we live in? We are suppose to be equals, but it doesn't feel this way to me living here, I want to leave but truthfully I cant afford anything else so I feel stuck, but I'm working on it. As for change they want change well start from within, I mean within these apartments! Start replacing and repairing, and then people who live here will take more pride in this place! All this being said this new manager is not fit to be a manager for these or any other apartment complex! —Eryka
