Madison Park Apartments

I have lived here longer than I care to admit (it has not been convenient with my workload to spend the time to find a new place). The complex is old. The walls are thin. Anytime a neighbor flushes the toilet, you hear it. If your neighbor is having a conversation, you hear it. If your neighbor is having intestinal problems… sigh… you hear it. The landscaping is comprised of fake plants and rubber wood chips. I’ve had my apartment flooded several times because of the old plumbing in this building. They had to cut the carpet to dry out the apartment, but they didn’t stitch it back together properly so there’s a gap. Also, there was water leaking from the ceiling. Rather than fix it, the manager cut a hole and said he’d be back to fix it later. It’s been months. The garage door often doesn’t work so you get stuck trying to get into the garage. The garage floods, often with dirty water. The laundry machines are too few and often don’t work. The apartments on the south side face a business parking lot so you often get noise at night. To top it all off, they’ve done work in my apartment without notifying me and without leaving a note. Oh, and with all that they had the nerve to raise my rent.
This place brings back the old tradition of slum lord apartments. It’s retro I guess.
