If you're looking for an ableist, wasteful, and unprofessional community to move to The Osprey is the perfect option.
Parking
The Osprey has outer and inner perimeter parking.
If you live toward the center of the community, prepare to walk through multiple building hallways featuring gigantic spiders consuming beetles above your head, palmetto roaches scurrying about, moths accidentally flying into your face, and headless lizards.
If you're willing to stick to the winding pathways, be on the lookout for random roaches and broken sprinklers wastefully flooding the sidewalks and parking lots! I've counted about four-five broken ones around the community so far. It's so wonderful to see how much this property doesn't give a shit about what they're responsible for, but stay tuned, the negligence gets admirably worse.
If you have an invisible disability, sorry, you're going to have to pay for inner perimeter parking. A whopping $40 for car registration and then $20/monthly for a single reserved spot. Oh, but does this spot offer anything other than proximity? HAHAHAHA, no. For $20/month, your car will be exposed to the scorching sun, bird shit, tropical storms, potential hurricanes and regular flooding from a single thunderstorm. You would think with a reserved parking space it would provide cover for your vehicle or this place would have a garage. But no, so have fun walking your groceries across the parking lot on those hot summer days.
Aesthetics
Oh where to begin. My rent is $2250. For $2250, these people deemed our unit to be ready to move in. It's unfortunate you cannot tour the exact unit before moving in, or at least it wasn't offered to us. We were assured every unit was the same and to pick from the website catalog.
Upon moving in, I discovered leftover plastic anchors in the walls with paint over them, so they weren't missed, just ignored. There is a huge hole where my toilet valve is, inconsistent caulking through the bathrooms and the kitchen, huge cracks in the wall, broken storage shelf, hole in the master bedroom door, and some of the outlets don't work. Outlets that don't work? Yes. We finally removed the plate on some of them. They're cracked in half on the inside. Not to mention most plugs fall out of the outlets because the fixture is too wide. The walls are textured so any patches made just look like gigantic splotches of paint smeared on.
AC
Initial maintenance workers failed to fix our AC Unit for 4 months, so our bill was $300/month due to their inexperience with issues and lack of being thorough. The only person who was amazing was the Head maintenance.
Pests
The one saving grace of this place was not having roaches but that changed in August. I saw the first one and knew it would become a huge problem. A running theme of incompetence and neglience. I shit you not, these pest people pulled out spray for German roaches. Any true pest control worker would know that is not what you use. I had to babysit them and insist on other means of pesticide. I even had to invest on my own. We bought sterilization devices, Advion, a dehumidifier, essential oils, and an insulation strip we had to install on the front door due to a massive gap.
These measures along with "professional" pest control services should have knocked the cycle out within two months. Nope. An insider told us the unit below us was absolutely disgusting and that's where they were coming from. I am inclined to believe this because the cycle is not broken and we keep getting a fresh batch of clearly migrating roaches.
The solution is to treat the entire building, but, of course, they're more than happy to blame individual tenants who are suffering FROM A HEALTH HAZARD THEY DON'T WANT AND ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO CURVE instead of opening an investigation and treating the building.
Lucy
Oh, Lucy, if you have the pleasure of meeting her, I am so sorry. This is not an ally who will take care of your concerns or needs. I would describe Lucy as apathy personified. Do not believe whatever she sells you on during the tour. She is only here for the paycheck, but doesn't even do anything that warrants it. After explaining to her the severity of our pest situation, she gave us a condescending, ignorant lecture about roaches. It is very clear from her response that she doesn't actually know anything about roaches. Basically, she accused us of being dirty, and offered us a cleaning service that we have to pay for.
She said we shop at Walmart and we bring home eggs to hatch in the apartment and we cause infestation. Hate to break it to you but we don't shop at walmart or bring bags home. We shop locally and carry items in reusable bags that stay in our cars. So, then, our cars should be filled with roaches too. But they're not.
Point of Contact
These people never answer the phone. I wish I could say its phone tag but it's not even that, they're notoriously difficult to reach. Severely unprofessional. read more
