Review for Ambassador Apartments

Getting anything repaired -- forget it. If water is pouring from above the response is great. If it's a slow leak it'll take about two weeks to replace a leaking pipe in the ceiling if water is runing down the wall. The painter and plumber are great but overworked. They could use about two more workers, an electrician and a general maintenance person for the lawn, snow removal and general cleanup of the grounds.

After five years -- I cannot get my front door fixed. I have to body slam it. I'm afraid I'm going to pull the knob off when I close it. I had to supervise the new maintenance man while replacing my kitchen light, he didn't have a clue, -- spoke no english, he tried to repair my front door with a crow bar, it didn't work. He's since been deported. Our friends who recommended this place in the beginning, moved out for just that reason -- poor maintenance.

The parking lot looks like a construction site -- trucks all over. If you come home after 11:00 PM you may have to park across the street in another lot.

If a parking lot light goes out, it may take a month to get a new bulb. You don't want to walk to the trash bins at night if a light is out, you'd be risking life and limb.

People, sometimes strangers, use the closed swimming pool at 1:00 AM in the summer, making lots of noise outside our window -- response from management -- call the police -- not my job. I suggested motion sensored lighting to discourage such noise and behavior -- response -- zero. I even volunteered to do the job myself at no cost -- no response.

This place is ok if you're rarely at home and only need a home base for when you're in town. I will miss the people here, but not the management or lack of maintenance.
