I've lived in this apartment complex for 7 years. And every 18 months the rent goes up $25-40$. It's ridiculous but what the worst thing is that when they're resealing the bathtubs and sinks, and repainting surfaces in an apartment. Unless you tell them specifically to keep the windows open so those fumes don't leak into your apartment, they will do nothing. I as of 9: 26 p.m., had to go to my apartment downstairs for me and open up the windows further because they only had one open and it was a crack. I came into my apartment after working a 7-hour shift, with no note warning us that they were going to be painting or resealing below us like they said they were going to do, and my entire apartment smells like paint fumes. Thank God they had a window crack so I could crawl into the apartment and fully open the windows, by the way, this apartment is vacant. No one lives in there so I'm not breaking and entering, and within 10 minutes the smell as dissipated. These fumes are chemicals leaking into my apartment complex. The first and second time this happened to me and my husband, I was able to fix it like I was tonight and crawl into one of the windows and open it. But the third time it happened they tried to make us sign an NDA because we demanded 2 weeks off of our rent because we were not able to be in our home for two straight days because the person living below us was not answering his phone for three straight days, so after the second day when I came home from my morning shift, I called the city of deer Park and within an hour after I explained the code violations that was going on, the apartment managers came and open the gentleman's door. Open the kitchen window, that had a screen on it, and within an hour my apartment didn't smell like paint.
