Pest control is a HUGE issue. Not sure if it is a problem for the second and third levels, but on the garden level it is just gross. There is a HUGE gap between the bottom of the door and the floor which lets bugs in. During the summer I was killing 1 to 2 spiders on a DAILY basis.

The buildings are extremely dirty. They clean maybe once a month. People would put garbage in the hallways. People who didn't take care of their pets, fleas are a HUGE issue.

Don't try to use the gym. Every time I tried to go to the gym there was always a group of men using it as a "party room" and drinking beer.

The pool is a joke. People seem to think that the pool is a babysitter for their children and management wouldn't do anything about it. I am talking about people dropping off children 10 and YOUNGER at the pool and LEAVING THEM ALONE. I once went to the pool and there was a kid, maybe 5 years old, by himself. We were there for over an hour and no one came to check on this child or see that he was still alive. If the pool isn't filled with little kids alone, it is filled with beer cans and drunks.

There is something seriously wrong with the wiring. My electric bill was always $100 a month. I currently live in a LARGER apartment than the one I had at Ruskin Place and I have never had an electric bill over $40 at my current apartment.

Dog owners are extremely irresponsible. I could not have my windows open because there are constantly dogs running around without leashes. I opened my window a few times and every single time I would rush to shut it because a pit bull or another large dog was trying to claw my screen off and get in. I was scared to death to open the windows!

I really have nothing good to say about this apartment complex. It was a nightmare living there and I will never recommend them to anyone!

Pest control is a free monthly service provided to the resident. Our buildings are cleaned weekly and each month one building gets the hallway carpets cleaned. If there was an issue with dogs clawing at the window we would have addressed it had we known. As stated previously in all my other posts, please let the office know. We'd rather fix the problem than have people upset.
