The Mansards Apartments Crap management, crap maintenance and ever more crappy apartments Griffith Indiana

I moved into the Mansards in December of 2015, my lease will be up Nov 30th and I will NOT be renewing and here's why. Not long after I moved in the paint started chipping on the newly painted cabinets, I called maintenance, maintenance came and nothing was done about it. Shortly after that problem the range hood above the stove dropped onto the stove so I had to call maintenance again and that was actually the only time anything was ever fixed properly. Within days the drawer fell apart in the kitchen and I called maintenance about that and again about the cabinets. The guy came and took the drawer and glued it back on and left glue dripping down the cabinet and I was told that he couldn't do anything about the paint and that it was someone else's job. I called maintenance about the cabinets so many times I just gave up. There was also a leak in my bathroom coming from upstairs through the exhaust fan and was told that maintenance just emptied the bucket that was full (below the sink) in the bathroom above mine. If there was any mold or mildew growing I would never know because no one opened the ceiling to investigate. The towel rack was loose and fell and guess who drilled new unlevel holes in the wall and didn't patch the old ones? The same guy who can't seem to fix anything else when he's sent here.

I called maintenance about a leak in my wall coming from the air conditioner and I was told that there isn't anything they can do but replace the ac unit. HVAC is my profession and I know that the ac is draining inside the wall and that wall needs to be opened and the condensate drain needs to be drained outside instead of inside the wall. I have three children under the age of three and every time I turn on the air I smell mildew so we just f****** sweat every day so I don't risk getting them sick. I've called maintenance too many times and management never returns my calls so what else can I do but wait until my lease is up and run out of here with lightening speed! Maintenance is a joke and management is an even bigger joke. I've been late on my rent twice and I've paid all associated fees before the deadline and when I'm on time they lose my cashiers check and put a late notice on my door.

There are three washers, four dryers for forty apartments and they don't work AT ALL!!! I'm sure we've all called maintenance about that too but they haven't done anything about it. The swimming pools are disgusting and never clean, the restrooms are horrible. The only good thing I can say about the Mansards is that there's always a sheriff driving through or sitting but other than that this place is all bad. They didn't even replace the carpet before we moved in they just had it shampooed and there were stains everywhere. With all that being said if you don't run from this hole you'll regret it. Oh and for you gamers if you're hoping for good internet speeds forget about it this place has bad wiring and I've had both comcast and at&t so nope, not here. Oh, almost forgot about the loose sockets that won't hold anything you plug in them and I was told I'd need to call an electrician for that. On top of everything everyone in the house is sick after I ran the ac for one day because it was hot, I ended up having to take my one year old so to the ER. I've called the health department and it sounds like they've had complaints before so I'm just waiting on them to come out. Will update once they've inspected apartment.
