I love Skylark. I've been here for many years and there are many redeeming features about the complex and the location. However, my apartment was over 105 degrees these past few days during the heat wave. Yes, it was hotter than outside. I know I'm not the only one. I've spoken to many others on the property who talk about our third floor units being uninhabitable. Many people are forced to leave during the day because you can't be home due to the heat. Management has installed the air
...conditioning units in their office (for their own comfort) that we've requested to install at our expense in our apartments and we've continually been told no. They tell us we can install window units that aren't large enough to effectively cool our apartments and would block airflow from all windows except the sliding door. Or, for people like myself, I live in a building that actually has air conditioning in the interior hall so I've been told 'just open your front door.' Not a solution! Plus, why provide air conditioning in a hallway and not in living environments? You know all these public health advisories go out about avoiding excessive heat especially for the elderly, children, and pets. I'm not sure what it's going to take--someone dying from excessive heat in one of the 3rd floor Units for them to take this seriously? I have more fans than you can imagine. I have to put ice blocks out for my pet so it doesn't die. It's wound up at the vet w/heat exhaustion and required subcutaneous fluid due to dehydration and overheating from being inside in the heat. Even knowing this they don't seem to care. I have solar shades. I have tinted film on my windows. I've tried everything and they continue to turn a blind eye on the health hazards of their Units.So if you're considering moving here and they tell you 'it sometimes gets warm' they're lying. They know how hot it gets. I've considered filing a complaint with the Department of Public Health because it's getting to a point where the heat is a health hazard and is making our living environment truly uninhabitable.
