"Am ,Very hurt and disgusted ,about everything the building worker ,never showed up, we were treated so bad like we was not even there , the landlord was never there the building want down hill, at this point am over it,. we just had a bad flood in the building and they placed us in hotel , but after that we are homeless it really sad how we were treated"
"I lived in these apartments from 2005 to 2007 when they were owned by Ingleside and rented out to Connections and West End Neighborhood House. I understand they have been renovated and there is different management, but be weary. When I lived there, I had to take the bus to and from work, and wearing my work uniforms (tee shirts and jeans, or polos and jeans), men would drive by and proposition me and gunfire was a nightly occurrence nearby. The buildings themselves had mold, the areas above the windows leaked horribly (not listed as one of the renovations), and there were a few months where many of us had no heat because the heaters were broken. Other times we had no AC from broken AC Units. It was also not unusual to hear the neighbors... "getting it on" during the day. The fire alarm was a daily occurrence. The Refrigerator went out in my unit, resulting in me getting food poisoning as I didn't notice (plus I'd be mopping water up from it leaking out of the bottom of the fridge on the daily basis). I understand this is low cost housing, but if possible, try to get into the Next Step programs with Connections instead where you can find a safer place than this. There is no reason for low income individuals to live in dangerous areas that are poorly maintained. There is no excuse for poorly maintaining a property - if you can't maintain a rental unit for a tenant, you don't need to own the property (why I will not rent from MorningStar Properties nor Ingerman ever again). There was also a night club across the street when I was there, but I do not know if it's still there. PS - they claim they offer a tot lot, there's not enough space on the lot for any children's playground, although there is a county owned playground nearby. As stated, I don't know if Connections fixed the building issues, they may have, but the neighborhood is a pretty big issue in that area."
