Chronic Sewage Issues Most of the parts of living at River City are actually pretty nice. Slightly annoying apartment layout where there’s no right corners, so furniture is difficult to make flush with the wall.

But our kitchen sink kept backing up with sewage just about every month or two. The building management kept insisting nothing could be done to fix it long term, which is ultimately why I had to move. And the building’s plumbers would come, work on it some, not fix it, and then leave...
for the day without even giving us an update.

Fixed Sink Faucet The maintenance team is always very quick to respond and is very aware with the issues we come across. We had a kitchen sink faucet issue and they knew exactly how to fix it.
