I’m with Scott on his review below. I’ve been a resident since 2018. I’ve lived in 2 units in that timeframe.
We continue to pay increased fees when trash piles up for weeks to months and maintenance is slow to respond. Last year, a building plumbing issue took months to resolve. Crazy part is, they kept closing my tickets before resolving the issues which caused me to open more tickets.
This year, and the one that has me re-writing my positive original review from years past is the lack of maintenance response again. My AC ticket is 3 weeks old. We are heading into week 4 without an adequately functioning AC. It used to struggle to get to 75F, then it got worse. The best it gets is 81F at MIDNIGHT now.
The 2 maintenance guys who FINALLY came over (after I stopped trusting the process and appeared at the office in person) made excuse after excuse, and showed a lack of competence. Not because they were actually incompetent, but because they either don’t want to go through the work of fixing the recurring (yes, recurring AC issue) or are unable to due to being resource constrained (I’ll get to that in a moment).
On camera, they mentioned it may indeed be a leak with the Freon. However, to get a true fix, the AC will need to totally die and then it’s still a long process to fix or change out. So, until then, it’s monthly Freon replacements. Cool. They said they’d be by with Freon. They never did come back.
During their visit, one guy claimed that cool air was indeed blowing. Really? If that’s the case, why is it so hot in here???? I do have thermometers to gauge ambient air. I assure you, it’s not cooling. The other guy said the ambient temperature from my bug zapper was throwing the thermostat off. Yes, the bug zapper that has never given problems years before. They couldn’t give me a straight answer on that one. Then they blamed the curtains. Awesome. Never had an issue with open curtains in years past but I’ll play along. With blinds and curtains closed, bug zapper off, I need them to explain to me why it’s still 80F at midnight and doesn’t help during the day???
Anyway, I spoke to someone in office this past weekend who mentioned that the last management company did something and now the accounts are frozen and the complexes can’t buy needed resources (ya know, like Freon). So, where does that leave me and any other resident with troubling AC units? This is just the start of summer. This is unacceptable and bordering on breaking tenant laws. The moment it does, it certainly will be documented. I’m ready to hire my own AC mechanic and withhold the invoice amount from my rent.
This heat has caused never-ending heat rashes, my eczema has blown up, and I’m averaging 3.5 hours of sleep at night for the past 3 weeks.
June 21st, I reached out to the office again to try and get help. They couldn’t promise me that help before their time to clock out by 5p because there’s 4 other tickets they’re working on. Nice, but I’ve been waiting over 3 weeks for mine, and that Freon job ain’t gonna take hours to do.
What Scott said about the AI is also true. They’ve largely outsourced customer interactions to Ella, an AI rep, and it’s hard to get ahold of the office. Even dropping by in person is a hit or a miss on if they are around. Ella does not help at all, unfortunately.
I honestly think it’s time to throw in the towel and move elsewhere. I used to love living here, and would recommend it to people, but I just can’t in good faith do that now. I hate moving, but I also hate living in heat and humidity even more, especially when maintenance is blasé about helping. I dislike the unhelpful Ella the AI, and the lack of consistency in office presence. The trash piling up around the dumpsters for such long periods of time is disgusting, unhygienic, and unsightly. They never reinforce the rule of not leaving through the entrance, or entering through the exit. I’ve had so many close calls on car accidents with people who can’t follow simple rules and yet, the management themselves can’t enforce them. It’s a safety issue.
