Poor maintenance, grounds are poorly kept, often no one office, many of the swipe doors do not function, slow to come on maintenance requests and staff often make up excuses for problems that never get fixed (HVAC especially for me.) I have lived here for almost 2 years and only stay due to the ideal location.
