"BEWARE!! DON’T move here!! Shootings!! UNSAFE living conditions!! Poor landscaping & property management skills -always provides excuses for not resolving issues!! Poor Maintenance - repairs not getting fixed in a timely manner!! Inoperable gates.This property is even more in “ worst “ condition as it has ever been in before and I’ve been living here for 6+ years (regrettably)..
To the business owners: Not to mention the recent shooting that occurred on property near building 7 back in early May’24, the ongoing unsafe issue with the malfunction gates which more than likely contributes to the easy access of the apartment break in’s , poor ground keeping (dog Pooh/trash everywhere and ant/ bug infestations. Below are 2 unsafe urgent maintenance repairs with untimely repairs. In April’24 (item#1):I opened an online maintenance repair due to loud sounds of dripping water in the ceiling of the main entrance hallway and air condition unit. By the way, this is an ongoing, repeated, re-occurring issue for the past 2-3 years whereas my unit experienced flooding in the main hallway, water damage to floors, drywall water damages inside the air conditioning unit and etc. ( Item #2 inApril’24): I opened an online maintenance repair for the kitchen island granite corner that was damaged as a result of a fall I experienced due to a recent surgery. This issue exposed “Unsafe” sharp/jagged edges that required immediate repair. In May’24: Maintenance falsely marked these items as complete when absolutely “NOTHING “ was done to complete it. In June’24: Due to the severity of the help request, I met with both Nicole (Director) and Cheryl (property manager) the first week Cheryl arrived and reported the falsified maintenance items above. Of course despite multiple times I’ve reached out to Cheryl via email, walk inside and phone call’s requesting status updates, all I received was “excuse after excuse” and no progress was ever made to complete this task. In July 26, 2024: the air conditioner unit was finally addressed ONLY after I spent 12 long agonizing hours of cleaning excessive water damages to my hallway, the photos were taken afterwards.I have a videotape of the excessive water damages in the hallway but was too large to incorporate in this report. I even called the emergency phone line service and no one ever responded!!! until the very next day…I also sent email help request to front office management and heard nothing from them the entire night!!! July’24 (kitchen granite damaged top): After multiple, countless repeated times reaching out for help to Cheryl and receiving no help. Again, I walked into the office on 7/3/24 and requested copies of the granite top quote and the install date. All I received was a copy of the quote which to my surprise has a date of 6/10/24. Apparently, the contractor had given this to her and she failed to communicate this to me- extremely poor communication skills. Not to mention, she still had not bothered to respond to my request of the install date even as of today. All of the above are clear examples of Cheryl inability and unwillingness to help troubleshoot unsafe conditions. Not to mention, lack of leadership & conflict resolution skills & accountability, poor communication skills and totally not putting residents “ unsafe conditions“ first. Lastly, hurricane Beryl was an awful experience for multiple people. At Southfork lake property, there’s still unsafe conditions that exist as a result of this hurricane for anyone to walk safely on this property. Just the other day myself along with 2 other residents observed children playing underneath the falling tree limbs barely holding on to the tree itself. This is a bad accident waiting to occur that potentially lead to a fatality. We also observed children riding bikes and skateboarding near the leaning damage electrical post also. These are the reasons this property received a “1” rating due to poor management!!
Good news is concierge services are awesome!!! The new maintenance guy who’s been here for 2 months appears to be very helpful.,,"
