Review for Brookside Apartments

I moved into my apartment in July of 2004 and when I moved in they gave me a roach infested refrigerator. Not to mention the apartments are roach infested. Once I was there for a few months everything started falling apart. The kitchen sink constantly leaked, the bathroom toilets constantly ran, there was mold growing on the dining room walls, the so called free cable never worked and the gates are always open. The roof in my childrens room leaked and all they ever did was patch is up. I called in several maintenance requests starting in November and ending in March and still none of these items were fixed. On top of that the maintenance man was "sweating the pipes" and caught the unit behind mine on fire (which spread to my unit) The fire caused $6000 in damage, then there maintenance supervisor gave her children access to the rest of my property which they robbed me the same night as the fire. With all of this said they gave me 30 days to vacate the model unit and 1500 which is barely a fourth of my damages. They didn't even fire the maintenance worker, they only said she "has to have access to all units" , so in other words her and her children can just go on robbing people blind. If you are considering a lease, RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN. DO NOT SIGN. After all of this the maintenance man said all of the buildings are old and the apartment complex is too cheap to upgrade the units, so it is a matter of time before something like this happens again.
