Unsafe & Unhealthy
Surf A1A apartments is located behind a used car dealership, off a dangerous road, in the most crime-ridden area of Mayport. The complex has no gates, no cameras, and zero security. Panhandlers go door-to-door every day, dumpster divers drop by every night, and other trespassers are always creeping around the property. Cops visit frequently for drugs, theft, and domestic violence. Needless to say, you won’t be feeling safe at night.
There’s only two new buildings in the complex. All the older... buildings flood during heavy rain. You can easily see the water stains where the floors meet the walls. The attics, interior, and HVAC system are filled with black mold, dust, and more bugs than you could possibly imagine. The buildings are also not up to code; e.g. stairs are only 8" deep. At first glance, the units seem nice, but you’ll soon discover it’s just lipstick on a pig, and the serious issues under the surface have been ignored for decades.
Management does not enforce their own policies. There are multiple pure-bred pitbulls on the property, dozens of unregistered vehicles (many abandoned), loud music every night, and dog excrement scattered throughout every plot of grass. They also do not perform criminal background checks on any of their applicants, and many tenants sublease their apartments to large groups of questionable occupants.
For your health and safety, do not rent at Surf A1A.
