*VERY LONG POST * On Thursday, December 16th, Albright Realty were supposed to send maintenance to come and fix a major leak in my home. Any time we would try to use the bathtub or shower, there would be a major leak down into the kitchen. (Mind you, I had to put in about 4 requests to get this taken care of.) 4 Caucasian men came to my home on 12/16/21 saying Albright had sent them to check and repair the leak. I am a 5'3 woman and it was just my dog (who's small) and myself here, so we were upstairs for the most part because 1. he gets excited around a lot of people and I didn't want him to get in the way or get hurt and 2. again, I was here alone with 4 large, grown men, so I didn't really feel that comfortable just being down there (and they made a mess, had stuff all over my couch, and there was nowhere to sit). After a while, I realized my dog was getting hot and went downstairs to get his water bowl. As I'm walking down the steps, I notice the tissue paper in the gift bag with my mother's Christmas present looks like it's missing, so I check the present and it's still there unopened with the tissue stuffed at the bottom of the bag. I then look around and noticed a Christmas gift was missing and nowhere around where it should be. I texter my bf and asked him if he had moved it before he left for work and he said he hadn't and it was in the same spot, which is also where his box of jewelry and other sentimental things were. He asked me to check his box for the diamond earrings his mother had passed down to him (given to her by his father, who passed away last year), and they were missing as well. To make an already long story a little shorter: the maintenance men had stolen the present, the earrings, a gold plated bracelet, about $10 in cash, 2 debt and one credit card, and tried to steal some of my medication as well. We got the gift and medication back, but that's it. We later found out some of the people sent to work in our home are KNOWN drug addicts, and I'm not talking about marijuana! The police were called. Not to mention, the leak still didn't get fixed until the next day. And the hole in my kitchen ceiling where they took my cabinets down to get to leak wasn't fixed until 12/22/21 and my kitchen was in disarray until they put my cabinets back up, which they did a shoddy job of and didn't clean after themselves. I had to keep asking about when someone would come to fix the hole and put the cabinets up; so, to add insult to injury, Albright Realty sent one of the same men who was here during the 12/16 incident BACK on 12/21 (with no notice to me) to fix the hole and put the cabinet back up. I assume because he was in the hospital after getting jumped at Ace Hardware (yeah, I know) by the time the missing items were noticed. But we still don't know what he may or may not know or be involved in regarding the theft. However, he didn't stay long because, as I told the property manager before they sent someone back out, the old cabinet was no longer any good and he said he needed to find a new one and left....with the hole still in my ceiling. The carpenter, Jessie Faile, who was part of the maintenance crew, also tried to insinuate my boyfriend and I stole some of his tools, as if WE were not the victims of theft. This has just all been so traumatic and I've been nervous and anxious since. I don't even think I've included EVERYTHING, but my mind is just still whirling. One of the worst experiences of my life. read more
