Urban Style Flats USF Ghetto Asbestos, murky tap water, Unsafe Apartment st pete Florida

   I moved into Urban style flats, never really taking a close look. Once I moved in the depth of my mistake became apparent. One there is "NO" parking i mean (none) at all they don't have a useable parking lot. Something that may seem not that big of a deal. every resident here has gotten towed at least 4-5 times (please ask them if you make the mistake of coming here) . Who wants to drive around for an hour looking for parking with groceries in the car, then carry them a mile. They tell you that they have parking in the back lot when you sign your lease, this is a huge lie!! the waiting list for the small back lot is almost a 1 year no one stays here after a year so you will never get to.  When you have guest they will get towed as well, there is nowhere for them to park at all. Let say your having friends over, it always a huge inconvenience trying to find them parking. 

   The Ray game, a one mile radius is blocked off you can barely make it to the surrounding 5 blocks all the cross streets have barricades. there are about 100 home game that spread throughout the summer over half the year so you WILL have to walk blocks just to get to your apartment, and and you will have to move your car every two Hrs because there isn't any long term spaces nearby.  

   My first day - My apartment was filthy the grout in the bathroom was brown the shower still had hard water stains on the tile. The tub was orange from rust all the pipe in this building are from the 60's so the water comes our rusty and orange (including drinking water). I could go on about how when you get out of the shower, you feel like you have a layer of residue all over and your hair gross, but plan on buying all of your drinking water, you won't want to clean your dishes much less drink the stuff. 

   This please is ghetto and unsafe i literally carried a knife for a while, just to walk the dog.  there are homeless people wondering the halls checking for unlocked doors, hood rats in the gym with dread and shirtless sweating all over the machines. When you walk the halls is smells of dog urine and weed. there is always homeless people and your neighborhood hood rat trying to con you out of something as you hit the sidewalk. 

   The air-conditioning HAHAHA if you can call it that. In the middle of summer don't think for a second these little crappy window units will keep your place cool.  you will get home from a long day at work and your place will be 85 degrees. The sound emitted from the unit is 92 decibels I measured it from my iPhone app this may not seem bad but wait until you want to watch TV, listen to the radio, relax in quite. there is a constant humming of the AC that never ever stops. Once the compressor kicks in it will wake you from your sleep. It make this place feel like a ran down motel not a place you want to live for any duration. 

   Urban style flats has asbestos, and mold. The tile which they paint over is asbestos tile and cracks under your feet, you will have to constantly sweep shards of it from your apartment. The mold comes from all the busted pipes over the year and unmaintained water leaks. Pipes bust here all the time when they extract them you can see how rusty and dilapidate they are. there is a constant smell on some of the floors the leaves you holding your noise for fear of unhealthy spores.

   The elevator  they rarely work and everyone has a constant fear of getting locked in them. (THAT HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK) no joking. There are usually 2 working elevators throughout the year if your lucky. Two elevators for the entire ghetto community of thousands. It isn't uncommon to wait 7-8 min per elevator run due to over use. when the other two do open up usually only for a few days before someone gets stuck. there has been hundreds of request to fix and they just keep saying they are getting a new one. its been almost a years and it has become a common joke in the stairwells. If you visit i won't you to run up 7 flights of stair and back down and consider doing this several times a day. (I workout almost everyday of my life) buy by the time you find parking 1 mile away and carry groceries up 7 flight then back down to run errands what ever you have on is steeped in sweat. 

I know what your thinking, this person is just upset, i wish this was just fleeting anger this is something I've had to live with for almost a year. I really wouldn't wish it one anyone. everything above is the honest truth and sadly not elaborated. I hope you make the right decision…
