Unexpected Waterfall Feature

Pros

The neighborhood and location are great. All of the neighbors are friendly and it’s a very pet-friendly environment. My large dog has fit right in and we loved the first year of living here.

Cons

The lack of a laundry room made things difficult, but I knew what I was getting into with that. Right around the time to renew my lease, a huge leak appeared in the bathroom ceiling. The super came over unannounced to look at it (luckily I was home) and then a plumber came unannounced another day to “fix it”. The super assured me the hole in the ceiling would be patched up “the next day”. It’s been three months and there’s still a garbage bag taped over the hole and water is STILL leaking from it. When I emailed management to voice my concerns I was ghosted. Literally have not heard from management since April and it’s now July.

Advice to the owners

If you’re going to have multiple properties, you better make sure someone is paying attention to each of them. If you kept up with some of these issues then they wouldn’t become problems so frequently
