I have lived in Wisteria Gardens for 4 years. THAT was 5 years too long. When I first moved in, there were maintenance issues. They promised to fix immediately. It too 3 months and several requests to get the maintenance done. I couldn't believe what they called completed work. \r
\r
(1) Refrigerator leaked and caused ice to form on food. 4 years later, it still leaks. I keep a bowl in my fridge to catch the water and i dump the ice block once a week.\r
\r
(2) mold growing in bathroom walls and ceiling behind sheetrock. All they did was paint over it.\r
\r
(3) A/C unit freezes up and water drips out of the pan in the bathroom. Drips is a nice word. I end up soaking 3 or 4 towels to keep the water up. They have put freon in the A/C unit 3 times this year alone. A/C units should not require any unless they are leaking. Then they should be fixed. Obviously this isn't done.\r
\r
(4) sewage leaking. Not as bad now but for the first 3 years, it was a constant issue.\r
\r
(5) Regarding the burnt down apartment. It took them 8 months to tear down the burnt down apartment building. To this day (10/22/09) there is only mud and weeds in the area where a nice playground was promised.\r
\r
(6) Leaks around windows and patio doors...still haven't been fixed after 4 years.\r
\r
(7) When the fire occurred the fire department hosed down my building. Breaking the cheap glass in the upstairs apartment with the water pressure. Water poured down thru the walls into my apartment. I still have water stains, they won't replace that sheetrock and the light above my sink still won't work due to water in the wiring.\r
\r
(8) On the outside of my apartment, there is an exposed wall where the siding has been removed. for 6 months the pipes were open to the elements. Now it's covered with tar paper. but still no siding. This has been in this condition for a total of 9 months.\r
\r
(9) My mailbox is constantly being broken in to. I didn't receive my monthly bills for 2 months due to them being scattered all over the place or stolen.\r
\r
\r
(10) There are drug users smoking pot on premises.\r
\r
(11) Security gates are always broken. I woke up one morning to find a homeless person sleeping on my patio!!!!!!\r
\r
Final straw.......\r
\r
New management. I turned in my 60 day notice...yes, I said 60 day because they don't take 30 day notices which is all the law requires. Turned it in Sept. 25th. Yesterday, Oct. 21st, they tell me they haven't seen any written notice and that I would be responsible for 2 months of rent from the date they receive my notice.\r
\r
I'm going to sue this place to get them shut down. It is unsafe to live in, it is unsafe for children and management only cares about money. Keeping it.\r
\r
I will do everything in my power to get this place shut down.
Pros: large apartments
Cons: DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!
