DISGUSTING
DO NOT MOVE HERE
TL:DR: dirty, nothing works, and there's roaches.
The house was not cleaned before we moved in. Walking across the floor barefoot would turn your feet BLACK within a few minutes. The kitchen drawers were all full of crumbs. There was hair all over the place. Doors and walls had some kind of gunk splatter all around the house. Cleaning the walls changed the color and there is brown buildup in the popcorn ceiling. Vacuuming one bedroom nearly filled the vacuum and mopping the... living room took over seven rounds before the mop water didn't come away black. The downstairs bathroom was full of black mold when we moved in, which was just spray-painted (with Kilz but that's not getting rid of it) over after submitting two maintenance requests. The dishwasher drainage tube is full of black mold (pipes into the dishwasher are opaque but I wouldn't be surprised if they had mold too). When we moved in both the washing machine AND dryer were useless- the washer had no tubes to connect to water and the dryer had no power cord. This took nearly a MONTH to get fixed. Every single sink faucet is loose and moves well over an inch when lightly pushed on.
Several windows- including the sliding glass door- do not have screens. The whole house has a moisture problem and perpetually smells like it. The front door has one flimsy deadbolt and that's all. We had to have the weather stripping replaced after moving in as there was a solid gap around the entire door. The floors are all uneven and half of the doors do not close because they are either hung incorrectly or the doorknob doesn't fit (or both). Upon moving in, we were told that new management would be remedying previously existing issues, but aside from painting the outside of the units, literally nothing has been improved. Management also put tenants in charge of paying for and arranging new mail keys, which takes around a month.
And if everything previously mentioned was not bad enough there are roaches. Management promised to send pest control for "routine preventative spraying" soon after we moved in, yet no pest control ever showed until we had cockroaches running around our kitchen. They sent a third party to do a very quick preventative spray but nothing to actually deal with the present roaches. Preventative spraying kept them away for a few weeks but obviously they came back in full force.
The only redeeming quality about Hyde Park Townhomes is that one day I will no longer live here.
