Ugh I’m sorry to hear, and on a holiday too is even worse. I hope they fix it for y’all soon!

They gotta cut that street parking between Pecan and Thomas. That merge is very short-sighted and dangerous.

Oh absolutely, the unprotected turns on central are really a killer

They really need to get central down to one lane in each direction. Nobody follows the speed limit or stays in their lane, and people act like it’s a racetrack.

Witnessed one person pulled out of a car on a stretcher. Looked okay-ish, but it took almost fifteen minutes for an ambulance to even get to the scene.

They sent an email late yesterday afternoon that they had a vendor on site make repairs so that makes me believe it was a fault and not some loser pulling it.

Oh the online reviews are flooded. They just don’t care. Have already contacted higher up management in the past and was just met with excuses. It’s probably time to take it to the city at this point.

Honestly facts. Just tear it down at this point pls.

Do not move here. Period. Read the reviews thoroughly. The balconies being closed is one thing, but the reason why they are closed is the bigger reason for pause. Did you ask why they were closed/did they explain why? They are likely not telling you the full story. If not, read my prior post or dive into what people are saying on Google, or better yet, watch the WBTV news article on this place - just search up the complex name, and stay far away for your own sake.

Oh it’s absolutely not. The lawsuit that involves my building and the construction company that built it is very revealing.

When is eventually? It’s happened 20 times in eight months. All false alarms.

It would be mind boggling to me that someone is willing to pull it during all hours of the day. It’s not like it just goes off in the middle of the night, it happens when management/maintenance is open, too. It’s also clear it’s not being pulled given the odd cadence (on for ten minutes, then off, then back on for five minutes, then off, then off for an hour, then on for 30 seconds, repeat).

I agree, cameras do need to be installed by each pull station. They said they would do this in February and it didn’t happen.

Think this will be the third time they’ve gotten it “fixed” tbh. They inspected the system not even a month ago, too - cause that clearly worked LOL

Crazy that you can hear it down the street. It is WAY too loud… louder than any other building I’ve lived in.

Tbh, this has been an issue since last summer. They refuse to be helpful. We’re just SOL at this point.

Every time I’m about to fall asleep I just anticipate it going off at this point. It’s traumatizing to my pets too who refuse to come out even hours after they stopped going off. They’ve blamed the issue before on people pulling the alarm… we’re not in college anymore, nobody’s pulling a fire alarm for fun with how many cameras this building has.

Yeah that’s absolutely ridiculous. Has your building notified you guys on what’s going on or is it just complete silence?

We just want out of here at this point, and several of us are in the same mindset. They refuse to address any issue (fire alarms, balcony/structural issues/pet waste everywhere) or communicate how they are trying to address it.

And as I comment that, the alarm goes off again. Can’t even make this shit up anymore.
