Decent price/location. Abysmal building management. Part 2/2
February 19, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
There is water dripping from my air conditioning/heating wall unit and BLACK MOLD growing inside the unit itself. A technician was sent out to my unit while I was away and they cleaned up the outside of the machine and did something to stop the drip. That's great, except there is still mold inside the machine that I can see just standing next to it. The technician said that Jeff would have to call a specialist to either install a new unit or fix it so that the mold issue doesn't come back because ...
he was only a general repair guy and didn't have the means. Okay cool, no rush it was the holiday season and a busy time for all I'm sure, but this is a blatant health risk. Mold inside a machine built to blow/circulate air inside a studio apartment...seems like a no brainer health risk to me. That complaint was in November...it is now almost March. Now the latest excuse is that they are changing building management so work orders and such will take longer. Okay? What happened the last X months? Also why are they hiring new management, but keeping this guy around? Nepotism/personal hire I assume.
This is basically how it goes for everything living in this building. Office hours are rarely kept for the mailroom/front office. I frequently come within hours of operation to get a package/mail and find that it is locked/closed early which so far hasn't been a huge issue because the expected package is nothing dire, but imagine if it was medicine or school supplies I needed ASAP. He always seems too busy to do anything, but nothing ever gets done so not sure how to explain that one. I understand this is not the Ritz Carlton, but basic health standards shouldn't be too much to ask.
I have only a few months left on my lease. Hopefully half a year of breathing mold won't cause too much damage. Hopefully this review doesn't cause any retaliation on his end. Or maybe the ball will finally start rolling. Anyway, I would not recommend living here to anyone. Steer clear unless you like being ignored and blown off for the entirety of your stay. Oh and breathing in mold.
