This complex was built just after WWII and you can tell from the wiring. There is lead paint on the exterior surfaces. DO NOT take a unit on an upper floor, the roofs are in poor repair although they have been FIXED many times in the last 18 months. Mold is a serious problem in the complex because mgmt will not fix the leaking roofs and the porous walls. Their solution is to spray industrial strength bleach on the walls forcing you to get a motel room at your expense will the air clears. Bleach will not remove the problem, it just hides it.

If you have a maint. problem you have to contact corporate offices before they will even acknowledge that there is a problem, any complaints nade to the mgmt office may or may not be given to maint to look out. I complained for over a year about holes in the roof, missing shingles, and multiple leaks in my unit. They claimed they were not responsible for the problem because an outside company did the original work.

There was a problem with phone line running thru the complex's walls, because they couldn't figure out how to find the problem the local phone company had to come and tell them EXACTLY where and how to fix the problem. I WAS charged for the tech's work.

Mgmt controls the heat. This wasn't a problem before Bozzuto took over control of the complex. Since the change over I discovered that a limiter was placed on the heater that only runs for about 10 minutes per hour, one unit has a thermostat that controls up to 30+ units in a group, and they lowered the heat that the boiler puts out.

Until I threatned to bring in lawyers and inspectors my complaints were not addressed.

It is a good location with 2 bus lines nearby and shopping in walking distance, and others just a short drive away. If it wasn't for the sub-standard service from the mgmt and maint staff this would be an alright place to live.
