The Alexander Apartments

Last night, someone broke the window of my car and stole my belongings. They also broke the windows of three other cars and took their belongings as well. When I spoke with the apartment management office, they told me that there are no security cameras and there’s nothing they can do about it. We pay a very high rent every month, but the apartment takes no measures regarding security.

Additionally, I noticed that two months ago, other people’s car windows were also broken, and their important... belongings were stolen, yet no measures were taken. I’ve been living in this residence since 2016. After it was purchased by another company in 2020, the rent increased while the quality and security decreased. Anyone considering renting here should think twice; this place is not safe at all.

Imagine going to your car at night to get something or go somewhere, encountering these thieves, and they could harm you. Without any security cameras, no one will know, and you won’t know who harmed you. There’s a major security issue in this residence, and when I asked the manager today why they don’t install security cameras, their response was, “I’m not the owner,” showing a complete lack of concern.

I've move-out these apartments back on April 13th of this year 2023. I haven't received my deposit back. I had to contact the Better Business Bureau to reopen my case backup, I had previously made a complaint about this company about charging me for rent and utilities when everything was paid in full before I left. If I were you I would "RUN". There are other good affordable apartments out there.

It is impossible to get a response from the manager and also management. Every email I've ever sent to the property has gone unanswered. I have to email the manager four and five times to get any type of response. Previous management company was the complete opposite - so responsive and friendly. My apartment is great, neighbors & maintenance are great, that's the only reason for 2 stars. Grady's done more than enough damage, ratings overall have gone way down, every neighbor I talk to feels... the same way. The management doesn't fit the vibe. Lee mas

The building was great and safe until the new Grady management took over for the last two years or so and its just been going downhill, automatic garage door is broken for months leaving the building wide open to outsiders, packages that are delivered to the apartments front doors are getting stolen, package gets stolen from mail room, my guest car was broken into while its parked in a lit area right in-front of the elevator, by default you have to assume your car is not safe in the garage,... food and medication are getting stolen, even building workers tools are getting stolen, gun shots fired right in front of the building, people fighting in front of the building on weekends is not unusual, I contacted the fornt desk to report the theft issues and I was told to contact the property manager, sent the property manager an email but no response, the main electric door has a common code that any can use to enter the building with having a fob, huge security flaws and zero safety, the property management is clearly not taking any corrective action to raise safety levels or make the Alexander a safe place again, do yourself a favor and find a safer place to live at.

It’s a decent building, and could be much better if it didn’t have structural design flaws. If you value your respiratory health or you have allergies or other respiratory issues, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

My apartment receives exhaust from other apartments through my dryer and through my kitchen stove top vent. I was told by maintenance that its because of a failure of fans in the exhaust column in the building to successfully draw the air up and out, so negative pressure causes the... exhaust to enter into the apartment through what is supposed to be exhaust. This matches how structural engineers explain this problem in high rises. They kept pretending to fix it, until finally the apartment management cancels my repair request and tells me the building is purposely built so that the exhaust from other apartments enters mine and there is nothing they can do about. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t built to have exhaust enter other apartments. So that’s not true, though it’s obviously true that they are either unwilling or incapable of fixing it.

With the amount of respiratory disease going around, this is extremely unsafe and unsanitary. As I write this, I have my balcony door and bedroom window open, hoping that the odors of exhaust coming from the stove vent and dryer clear out. So, if you value your respiratory health, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Lee mas
