I Laughed When I Read, "Run Don't Walk". Now I Am

My wife and I read the review titled, "Run Don't Walk!" prior to moving into the Wellington. We dismissed things like poor air conditioning by asking ourselves how bad can it be? I sure with we would have paid attention!


At 2 AM with the windows in my bedroom open all the way, and a huge fan blowing on high, the temperature is 84 degrees. With the windows closed and the air conditioner on full blast the room drops to a boan chilling 82 degrees. We have asked for this to be fixed at least 3 times over the past 2 months and not one thing has been done to fix the problem.


My son also has quite a joyous time in his bedroom. Aside from having an air conditioner that does not spit out cold air, his makes a loud "ping" sound every half a second for as long as the system is turned on. Every time I go to the office to complain about the air-conditioning system I have to wait in line behind someone else who complains. (The wait is not bad because the office is chilled to a comfortable 68 degrees, compared to the nighttime low of my apartment which is 82 degrees.)


Summary: FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO LIVE! You will be paying a premium to live here and I can assure you that if you do have a problem you will have to wait a long, Long, LONG time for it to be fixed.


Other than the air conditioning I think the Wellington is a good place to live. But like I said you are paing a premium to live here and not only should things work, the management should be honest with their tenants.


If you do decide to live at the Wellington just remember to actually use thermometers to check the air conditioning system before you sign the lease. (I AM NOT JOKING; NO ONES AIR CONDITIONING SEEMS TO WORK EXCEPT THOSE OF THE MANAGEMENT STAFF!)


************************** When you fid a better place e-mail me and let me know. We will be moving in about 9 months.
