The Avenue apartments

Lived at the apartments for 4 years exactly. At first I thought it was okay. I didn't like the fact that you had to pay $90 every summer to rent an air conditioner but it was something I knew I had to do. My car was side swiped outside in the parking lot shortly after I had been there 2 years so I paid $45 extra to park in the parking garage. So let me tell you about the parking garage....Half of the parking spaces have holes above so when it rained or snowed your car still got wet. I had never… seen them clean the parking garage the whole time I was there. There were several abandoned cars taking up space and trash along the walls of the garage. The door that went to the garage was supposed to be secure and you had to badge in to enter but after a cpl months of me parking there anyone that lived in the building could access the garage by just opening it. The upkeep of the building and staff working there slowly began to get worse and worse. I started noticing Roaches on the walls in the hallway playing tag and dead bedbug carcasses in the hallway. The hallways were often dimly lit because the staff there started refusing to replace light bulbs. My particular hallway smelled like old dried up urine. It was awful.
You knew that maintenance knew because they would try to clean the carpet or spray some sweet smelling aerosols but the old urine smell never went away in 4 years. Maintenance was awful. If you called for something to be serviced they would fix it when they felt like fixing it or depending on what it was, it might not ever get fixed. The final straw though was when I started seeing bed bugs in the carpeted elevator on the walls. No sooner after I started seeing them, I started seeing them in my apartment. After trying to spray myself and bomb my apartment I finally ended up throwing several items of furniture in the trash and decided that I was leaving. I gave them 28 days notice but they kept my deposit because they said it was not 30. Good riddens anyways. Glad to be out of there. Take my advice DO NOT MOVE HERE you'll regret it. Read More
