Berkeley Warwick Place

Privacy is an issue at this complex! The walls between neighbors are thin, and I found this to be especially problematic in the upstairs, where I could hear my next door neighbor getting off of her bed. Yes, that’s right, I heard the mattress! This makes a private phone call an impossibility. The walls in front and back also let noise out, and in, so you hear everyone walking by. You have to go outside and walk yards away from the building to have a completely private cell phone call! This might be okay in summer, and not so much in winter. You have to stay on top of requests for repairs. I had a gas leak late in my lease, and my landlady rudely brushed into my home, while I had called 911 and she said that I had to call them, and not 911 for this type of problem! The complex is not remodeled, and it needs it pretty badly. The bathroom fixtures needed work from day one, I just never got them there to do it, despite at least one request. The water spurted out of both the shower head and the faucet when the shower was turned on, and gross of all gross, somehow toilet paper wads wound up in the bathtub drain. It boggles the mind, that they don’t do more maintenance on the plumbing. I put up with it all because it was so cheap! That is the one good thing about it, and they include some utilities.
