Flats on Wakefield Apartments

The pool on the second side has been closed all summer, likely due to weather delays. The fitness center is a neglected room with broken equipment and debris. The emergency maintenance line is dysfunctional; pressing 2 never allows a message, so you must leave a voicemail on the normal line, with no guarantee of a prompt response. My ceiling has been leaking since May 30, 2024, despite multiple attempts to resolve it. The office's typical response is, "I'll let the guys know," which has become... frustratingly dismissive. The system shows no maintenance requests, even though I have an email confirming mine.

Frequent water pressure issues make it impossible to shower or flush the toilet. I've resorted to using bottled water for my dog. Since moving in late February, there have been 17 water shut-offs, and the pressure and temperature are still unreliable. Despite this, I am charged for water monthly. Another unit has mold due to hot water that won't stop running, leading to significant losses for the tenant. My son once spent nearly an hour getting enough water to wash up.

These ongoing issues have convinced me not to renew my lease. Management seems more focused on attracting tenants than maintaining a livable environment. I have contacted the corporate office but received no response. The $3/month pest control fee is unjustified as services must be requested and are only available on Tuesdays, despite a known roach problem. You also pay $25 for parking, but resident parking is limited, and the light in my spot has not worked since I moved in. Read More

place from hell, roaches, rodents, mold. there is no central AC, it is a chiller that gets changed from hot to cold or cold to hot twice a year regardless of the actual temp outside. i literally have not had a ceiling in my bathroom for six months, ceiling in kitchen is falling down as well. property is so run down with no plans to improve or repair in site.
it is common for pet owners to use leashes or even pick up after dogs, stray cats are everywhere. cars get broken into as well as... apartments often.
stay away!!! Read More

-Roaches, fleas and mice infestations
-The bathtubs and the sinks are painted with what appears to be cheap latex paint (same paint used on the walls), so they are impossible to clean without peeling the paint off.
-The new property management company, Wehner Multifamily, did not acquire any records or leases when they bought the property, which meant that for months it has been a nightmare to pay rent. And they have been fighting me on how much money I gave for a security deposit even though I... have a signed copy of my lease and they do not. They didn't know whose paid parking spot was whose, who has pets and owes pet rent, asked us to pay for utilities before they could give us an amount to pay, etc.
-The AC, which is only on and off - no temperature settings - broke several times (once for over a week in July) without management telling us. When the system is on and broken, it pushes hot air into the apartment, which means we kept it off. Management fixed without telling us - so it stayed off for longer than needed.
-No enforcement of community rules, like picking up dog poop or trash.
-The washer and dryers are dirty and leak. Also, the payment functions on the machines breaks often.
-Was promised a unit with a dishwasher (included in our signed lease), did not receive a unit with a dishwasher.
-Our ceiling leaked - when emergency maintenance arrived to fix it more than two hours after we called, they did nothing to help us. The next day, at my insistence, they removed the wet dry wall from the ceiling, but have taken over three weeks to repair the removed drywall ("Waiting on parts") and when they did send someone to fix it, did not schedule or inform us that they were coming. Additionally, whatever leaked (from our neighbors kitchen sink) was yellow and everything it touched, our counters, kitchen sink, cabinets and floor will not clean. No offer from management to credit rent or cover personal expenses caused by leak.
-The pools are dirty
-The vacant apartment next to us was broken into on a Friday, but management did nothing until Monday.
-The pictures on their website are out of date - complex does not look like that now. Read More

The apartments are low quality and badly damaged. Most of the floors are rotting, and there are numerous areas of water damage, bad molding, cracked tiles/ceilings/walls, unsafe electrical, and poorly managed grounds.

The staff is split from a select few who are trying to make things livable for those who are here, and the rest who do nothing and let issues continue to pile up. The apartments were recently sold to the Wehner Multi-family organization and they have only made everything about... this place worse. Management is frequently turned over with people quitting and leaving the entire apartment complex a mess. Since Wehner has taken control of the property, rent has been increased despite what was written on former lease agreements.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS APARTMENT! IT IS A VERY BAD PLACE TO LIVE. Read More

Property managers are unhelpful and unresponsive. The rooms are infested with roaches. The apartments don't have everything that they list on the website.
