Branchwater Apartments
After much excitement about moving into Branchwater Apartments on Rocky Ridge, we were severely disappointed with the quality of maintenance and repairs of the apartment that we were leased (204). In addition to poorly done repairs, we also encountered a severe cockroach infestation, with roaches crawling on many surfaces and out from cracks in the floor panels and walls. Wood ‘repaired’ by sticking in small block of wood without properly attaching it. Looks very bad and will not last.
Poorly caulked door.
Poor Caulk Job
More poor caulking
Incorrectly attached ‘repair’ - most repairs look very bad. About 10 roaches crawled out of this joint upon touching it.
Roaches everywhere - dead and living. Many juvinile German cockroaches on the floor, climbing on walls and climbing out of the ‘repairs’ made to the walls.
Severely damaged entry door jamb held together with staples and putty. This is a security issue in that the door will not properly lock (my wife cannot lock it) and it would take minimal effort to break in.
Crumbling entry pathway and exposed electrical
Exposed Electrical
Crumbling passage - only passage into apartment. Mover slipped on this, narrowly escaping serious injury (only minor scrapes)
Paneling around doors and windows not properly installed - leaving 1+in gap for rain and other weather to damage inside of walls.
Landry room floor is soft and bubbling up where washer would sit.
Living room blinds grind when opening and will only open 1/2 way without forcing
Poorly installed trim - falling off outside of master bedroom
Damaged rails on master bedroom patio - hanging nails under handrails.
Very bad caulking jobs - not professional looking and an eye sore
All caulking and putty jobs are very, very bad… You can see light coming through from the outside from around the door where it was not correctly installed. Contact points between walls and doors move when operating the door, indicating a poorly secured door. Even an unskilled eye can tell this is not right.
Gap at floor, improperly sealed door. Poor looking repairs.
Damaged inside guest bedroom door frame - repairs are eye sores and no strike plate has been installed, guaranteeing continued damage to this door via normal use.
Not sure what this is, aside from an eye sore… Could have been made to look acceptable with just a little effort - sand, putty, sand and paint (Repair 101-stuff).
More poorly done caulking jobs.
Incorrectly repaired damage - poor caulking jobs.
Blurry picture of more little German roaches.
Roaches on and in the stove.
Paper thin water damaged wall and floorboard. There has been an attempt to caulk these in an effort to ‘repair’. One could easily poke a hole here with their index finger. Someone had to see this (to paint and caulk) and deemed this acceptable.
Horrible caulking job. Improperly sealed. Looks very, very bad. I would be embarrassed to entertain company here.
Update 06/17/2014 Cooks has come back and treated the unit.. There are many dead and dying roaches all throughout the apartment.. Many still scurrying the walls, waiting for the poison to take affect… With no apparent source of these guys in visible places in the apartment (not under cabinets, pantries, etc) I am guessing they are in the walls and floorboards…
