Review from the web

They will tow your car in a heartbeat without any warning. It would be nice if you had put a sticker on the car but no they had it towed for $400. I have mold in my bedroom that has not been fixed. The ceiling in cracked and It took forever to half fix it. I can't open any of my windows because the screens are ripped out. They can only can fix the screens with a crain from the outside. They turned off the buzzer so you have to let your guess in. It's a no smoking building but they smoke.
