Riviera Village Apartments

I don’t usually review anything online but..... I’m SUPER happy that we moved out of this place. I mean seriously this is not a clean place. Read my whole review and you’ll see what I mean. When we first moved in (DAYS after our lease started) there was NO TOILET in the unit. Among many other problems. Stove burners broke and multiple times they “fixed it” and then it stopped working again not long after. Every time. They wouldn’t replace it. Upon further inspection there were a bunch of loose… wires, wire clippings, and poorly spliced wires under the hood of the stove (was totally a fire hazard). When I showed that to the apartment manager she still wouldn’t commit to replacing what is clearly a huge issue and liability. On top of that.... Electrical is super outdated, none of the outlets near the kitchen sink or in the bathroom had GFCI’s. They send out notices and warnings over things that really don’t matter but won’t fix the actual problems with the complex. Our unit (at move in) had gross carpet, holes and tears in the linoleum in the kitchen, smelled like mildew and cat pee, every door and cabinet was scratched and had dents, holes and damage on them. Clearly someone tried to bondo the damage on the doors and paint over it and honestly it looked terrible. Also there’s a huge stray cat (and FLEA) problem they refuse to permanently fix, the crawl spaces are all open and cats breed, right, eat, sleep and pee in there. It’s honestly gross, I’d watch them come out and they’d be itching like crazy ?? Huge mice problem inside too but don’t expect them to do anything about it. Also wasp nests are everywhere. Seems like there are structural issues in the place too that they probably will never address (could literally feel the floor move under the bath tub, seems like anything could fall through at any time). OH and they jack up rent each year without making any improvements on the place whatsoever, things just keep getting worse. Honestly the list goes on, these are just a small portion of the problems we had. Read More
