I used to love this place. I had a unit from 2016-2018. In 2020 I came back. There have been red flags almost every visit. The first is when Michelle, the manager, voiced her disapproval of me using a power receptacle. Ok, I get it. I complied. She doesn't like me enjoying music while I sift through my belongings for hours.
The second red flag is when she felt the need to tell me I can't have friends accompany me into my unit and that I must be out before 7 pm. *If I want to ask my friends to help me carry stuff out of my unit, that's my business. Don't assume we are partying or hanging out.
The third is when I came in on Sunday when she wasn't even working and as I am punching in my gate code, she has the nerve to poke her head out of her residence window above the office outside of office hours to tell me not to hangout out in my unit and I can be granted 10-15 minutes to get in, get my stuff, and get out. Yet units right upfront can stay in their units for hours and run a business from their machines and burn a plastic smell?! I only witnessed that once, but it made me feel like I was being profiled because these other patrons could do whatever they pleased while I was being harassed by Michelle or as I like to call her, "Karen". I'll see this objectively and withdrawal the race card as I am Hispanic/Latino.
The Fourth issue was me coming in with a bag of food because I had a lot of work to do inside my unit. She told me no food is allowed because some other unit was causing a rat infestation to other units. Excuse me, I pick up after myself, fine, I'll eat in the car if you're going to treat me like I am some sick hoarder like this other unit she spoke of.
The Fifth issue is when Contractors came to rip the floor up. These contractors should have had the experience to know that the dust they would cause would enter the units if there is no wall in the upper portion of the ceiling. Also, how did management not know this would happen, who did they hire? Both sets of people didn't think that dust would blanket the units and cause unnecessary toxic filth, damage, and potential hours worth of cleaning without compensation of any sort? My personal belongings were saturated in this toxic flooring dust. Michelle told me I could dust off my belongings and no real damage or compensation was necessary. Really!? Only when I showed management my ruined military Air Force Blue's uniform, was I told I could be reimbursed for the dry cleaning after I insisted that action was necessary.
The Sixth issue was the light bulb tube that went out in my unit. She said it could take weeks to months for a replacement. I put in a work order about 2 months ago, and it is still dark and dusty in my unit. This is unacceptable. Why can't this company replace a simple 4' fluorescent bulb? I pay almost $300 a month! That's not right.
The Seventh Issue was when I entered the unit on Jan 11, 2021, all I could hear was screaming "SHUT UP" over and over again from the upstairs apartment she resides in. I heard it outside and heard it more from my dark and dirty storage unit. It sounded like she was berating her child. Domestic Disputes aren't my business but the police were called. The cop showed up. No one answered the door, And then he left. What is going on? I used to rate this as a 5 Star location. Now it doesn't even deserve 1 Star.
So in short,
My unit is still filled with dust
I have no light in my unit after asking for 2 months
I cannot use the receptacle to power on a light
I cannot play music
I cannot bring in food
I cannot be in my unit for more than 10-15 minutes
I cannot have help or any friend over
I am accused of "hanging out"
I have to hear screaming and detailed language from my unit coming from inside her residence, above the office.
I feel harassed. This woman is probably really nice most of the day, but she has consistently harassed me for petty things. Is there anything going to be done about the abuse of power this woman has and the hypocrisy going on? She is a control freak and freaks out if things aren't done exactly the way she wants them done?! That is not only unbearably annoying but dangerous. When I have time I will find a new storage unit, but I have more pressing matters, but this has been a long time coming and the truth needs to come out. read more
