Apartment Review for Bennington Crossings - Alexandria, VA

I UNFORTUNATELY LIVED THERE FOR 11 YEARS . IT WAS PREVIOUSLY CALLED HAMPTON COURT, BUT BELIEVE ME, A NEW NAME HAS NOT CHANGED THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS ONE BIT! IT IS A ROACH MOTEL, AND EVER SINCE THE CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE CONDOS DOWN THE STREET, THE FIELD MICE AND RATS HAVE REALLY SETTLED IN. I ACTUALLY CALLED CITY OF ALEXANDRIA CODE ENFORCEMENT ON 4 OCCASIONS BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO GET SERVICE. THE MAINTAINACE STAFF IS NON-EXISTANT FOR THE MOST PART. THE MICE OR RATS AS THE CASE MAY BE,RUN FROM APARTMENT TO APARTMENT VIA THE HOLE THAT EXISTS WHERE THE STOVE PIPES COME THRU THE WALL,AND ALSO UNDER THE DOORS. THEY ACTUALLY EXTERMINATE PERIODICALLY , BUT IT WILL DO NO GOOD BELIEVE ME. LOOK UNDER YOUR CABINETS IN THE KITCHEN FOR SIX SMALL HOLES WHERE THEY PUMP THE CHEMICALS TO KILL THEM( YEAH RIGHT). THE BLONDE BIMBO RENTAL MANAGER WITH THE BOOB JOB WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE AND NEVER DELIVER ANYTHING CLOSE TO REASONABLE SERVICE!AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE,AS I WOULD NOT WISH THIS PLACE ON ANYONE!!MY BALCONY RAIL WAS LOOSE FOR TWO MONTHS ,DESPITE MY REPEATED SERVICE REQUESTS NO LUCK.SO AFTER CALLING CODE ENFORCEMENT,THEY FINALLY SHOWED UP AND FIXED IT ,BUT THEN MS.PATRICIA( RENTAL MGR) DECIDED TO GET VINDICTIVE AND FORCE ME TO REMOVE MY SATELLITE DISH TO GET EVEN. FORTUNATELY I HAD HER SIGNATURE ON MY LETTER GRANTING PERMISSION .PS THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE 500.000 APARTMENT INSURANCE IF YOU HAVE A DISH ,BUT OF COURSE THEY WANT YOU TO BUY IT FROM THE COMPANY THEY THEY GET A KICK BACK FROM.THEY DO NOT CLEAR SNOW OR ICE SO GET YOUR SNOWSHOES ON . EMERGENCY MAINTAINANCE FORGET IT ! HE WONT EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE..DRIVE BY AND THEN RUN LIKE HELL!!!
