I am compelled to echo Rob N.'s sentiment, as I too can attest to the Manager's longstanding…read morepattern of misconduct and the lack of repercussions she has faced.
The following egregious violations have occurred within this establishment:
Inconsistent Gift Card Policy: Gift cards have been deceitfully offered to residents, only to be unjustly revoked at a later date without just cause or proper explanation.
Unjust Fees: Astonishingly, residents have been coerced into paying for communal BBQ usage, which should be a standard amenity provided without additional charges.
Unlawful Charges for Replacement Lights: It is baffling that residents are burdened with unjust charges for the replacement of lights, which is undeniably the responsibility of the management and a basic maintenance obligation.
Unauthorized Entry and Invasion of Privacy: The Manager consistently abuses her authority by posting signs days before significant holidays, conveniently providing her with an excuse to unlawfully enter residents' units without proper justification. This blatant violation of privacy rights is unacceptable and must be addressed.
Irregular Fire Alarm Inspections: Despite the legal requirement for annual fire alarm system inspections, the Manager intentionally manipulates the process by sporadically issuing inspection notices on a quarterly basis, thereby neglecting the mandated frequency. Our records unequivocally demonstrate the repeated non-compliance with this critical safety measure.
