Review of Griffis Blessing

Retreat at Waters Edge Apartments, the Ghetto!

Retreat at Waters Edge Apartments, the Ghetto!
There are approximately 45 Apartments in each of the 6 Buildings in this Complex, Tons and Tons of Residents living in most of the Apartments which means Tons of Filth. However Griffis Blessing the Property Managment Company has a Cleaning Crew come through 1 time per week. This is not nearly enough! On top of the Once A Week Cleaning Crew they are contracted so they run through each building faster than anyone I've ever seen in the past. They clean NOTHING, the Laundry Rooms are Filthy Dirty, the Washers & Dryers in the Laundry rooms are ANCIENT and Broken Down and So Filthy Residents typically take their laundry to the neighborhood laundromat in fear of putting their laundry in the Disgusting Machines.
They claim this to be a Security Complex with Security Entrance Systems on all the Entrance Doors, however for the past 6 months the Front Entrance Doors have not worked properly and are typically unlocked due to the locks not operational. The New Fancy Phone Intercom System was installed Over 2 Months Ago and has never been operational, Griffis Blessing Managment Claims "It's out of our hands, we've done our part by telling the contractors" This is inexcusable when we pay HUGE Rent to live in a Security Building that this has been happening for the past nearly 3 months. Half the time the Doors to the Entrance are Unlocked, the other half of the time they are Locked yet you have to hope your visitors have a phone with them so they can call you so that you can haul yourself down to the lobby to let them into the building.
The outsides of the Buildings have been Repainted, yet it looks like we live in the Ghetto with Residents Storing Everything from Livingroom Couches, Recliners, Mops, Mop Buckets, and General JUNK Piled High, Enormous Stuffed Animals Hanging from Balcony Railings.
Stairwells are full of Filth, Have Not been swept or mopped in years, yes years!
Garages are Filthy Dirty and not free by any means so they should be kept cleaned and swept and power washed on a regular basis yet they are not. People that rent garage spaces are expected to take brooms out and sweep their own garage spaces if they want them clean. Doors to rental garages are not secured or locked and half the time the doors to the garages do not even shut or latch.
These issues and many more are given to the Griffis Blessing Onsite Management Office over and over and over again and we are told the same thing over and over and over again "It's out of our hands, we're doing the best we can with what we have." This response is Very Old and So Ridiculous to tell residents that are paying huge rent.
There are Section 8 Residents that sub-let their apartments to Drug Dealers and this has been brought to the Griffis Blessing Management Over & Over and they do nothing about it because they are getting guaranteed paid rent by Section 8 for the unit.
Elevators in buildings break down and Stay Broken Down for 21 Days, Griffis Blessing Management blames the Elevator Repair Company yet does not fire them and hire a new Elevator Repair Company, they just leave the Elevator Broken Down Not Operational for 21 Days and there are Residents that are in Wheel Chairs, use Walkers, and are Very Elderly that live on the 2nd & 3rd Floors and again Griffis Blessing Management just blames the elevator repair company yet DOES NOT offer any assistance to those Residents.
Sprinkler Systems on the grounds do not work so the grass IS NOT grass in some areas, it is Straw. Does the Maintenance Team ever walk the property and note these things and repair them? NO, No They Do Not!
Entrance Door Mat's were ripped out 6 Months ago and as you can see we have Simply Gorgeous Entry for our guests to experience.
Griffis Blessing Onsite Managment Team claims they are doing all they can, I must say they are a super nice onsite staff, However NOTHING GETS TAKEN CARE OF LIKE THEY PROMISE IT WILL!
I would Seriously Consider Signing Any Lease At Glenbrook Apartments with Griffis Blessing in charge, it is Simply Ghetto!!
