Worst Apartment Experiences To Date

For starters, the only reason I live here is because it's right across the street from where I work. However, over the past year I have been given much to reconsider the fact that it's simply not worth it. Below are some of the many issues I've had here, just the ones that are coming to mind off the top of my head at this point:

1. I have 3 friends who are police officers and all of them had informed me that this apartment complex had been a target area for criminal activity, primarily break-ins. I have also personally dealt with my car having been stolen, which seems to be becoming more and more common in this complex.
2. Their landscapers will come as early as 6:45am using leaf blowers and weed whackers which will unquestionably wake you up. I have complained to the management about it several times and so have others. They assure us each time it will be taken care of, which obviously it never has been considering it's been going on since I moved here which has been over a year now, which brings me to #3 here...
3. Nobody that works for the complex actually takes care of any matters without having to address them to the people at least twice. If you put in a work order, I guarantee if you call them the next day, they will have no record of your work order. The people that work here are very friendly, but in all actuality they don't care in the least bit and show it through their actions, though they'll be the sweetest thing while they're talking to you.
4. I have heard that the majority of people who leave here not only lose their deposit, but they'll also charge you more for just about anything they can find a reason to charge you for. I know of someone who was charged because the apartments roof leaked and damaged the carpet. Despite the fact that the tenant had a record of this (which of course gulfstream claimed to have no record of), they still charged him over $300 and sent it to a collector when he refused to pay!
5. The management kept ranting and had signs everywhere about how they were making a fitness center at our complex, which sounded nice. However, it took about 6 months longer for them to finish it than when they said they would. Then to make it even worse, once they did open it, they only had it open for their office hours until 6pm! Finally after enough complaints about that, they now give you the choice to get a scannable card to bring there to get in, but they charge you $25 just to use it! Then if you don't give it back before you leave the complex, they charge you an additional $50! Just a complete and utter scam for them to suck more money out of your pocket.
6. An example of how bad the management here is... about a year ago, several employees (at least 4) all walked out at the same time. Seems like they treat the employees about as bad, if not worse, than they do us. They have an extremely high turnover still to date, yet they still have the same management running the place! Where are the owners' God only knows, because if you ask management to speak to the corporate offices and someone higher up, they will not provide you with a number but merely relay a message to you from them, which I would imagine more likely than not is simply made up by them.
7. Drug deals happen on a regular occurrence at night right in our parking lot. There are also many sketchy people who wander around our parking lots at night. For a single woman, it's an extremely unsafe area to live in.
8. If you leave a bag of garbage outside your door for more than an hour, I guarantee you they will put a notice up on your door threatening to fine you (or they sometimes will actually try to fine you). However though they do this to us, they will leave all kinds of things lying all around the complex themselves. When redoing some roofs at one point, not only were there tiles strewn all around the parking lot for days, but also nails that they pulled from the roof were lying all over!!! I STILL think there are some lying around in the bushes to date! They've also left things lying in the parking lot like carpet as well. So it's ok for them to leave things lying around in the parking lot and on the property for days, but god forbid you have your garbage out in front of your door for more than an hour!
9. When getting my high-speed cable hooked up, when the worker from comcast came down, it took him over an hour to get it set up. The wiring in this building was not done correctly and I didn't have the wires properly hooked up in my apartment! He indicated to me that the management should have schematics of the buildings that would let him know what he needed to do, but none of them had any clue whatsoever and were completely worthless. The comcast employee ended up having to go up to the 3rd floor and actually splice their wire just for me to get a connection! How can you have wiring done in your own building and have no record of it'!
All in all, I wouldn't say this is the absolute worst experience I've had in an apartment complex, but it's the second worst. I would absolutely NOT recommend this place to anyone. There's just far too many issues, of which the management here will NEVER take care of for you, though they will say anything they need to in order to make you believe that.
