Grand Oaks Apartments management says they are 'committed to continuous improvements'; Tenants upset about lack of maintenance

Image
GRAND BLANC, MI -- A management team is out at Grand Oaks Apartments today working with residents with any lingering problems caused by rain water, according to a statement. Lathan Goumas | MLive.com Peter Witten sweeps the basement of his Grand Blanc apartment on Monday after moving out the day before. Witten said he recently moved out of the apartment after trying to get property management to repair leaks and damages but they were not done. Residents who live in townhouses in Grand Oaks are threatening a law suit against management after water leaks and other issues have not been resolved after months or years of complaining. Kelley Snyder and her husband, Dan Neff, were so fed up that they decided to speak with an attorney and they will soon be testing for mold build up in the basement. They live in one of 14 townhouses in their building. Peter Witten, his wife and their 2-year-old son, moved out last week before their lease was up because they didn’t want to deal with the comp...

House Tour: A Colorful Cape Town Garden Flat

Name: Jean Mortlock Location: Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa Size: 947 square feet Years lived in: 3 years, owned When Jean bought this apartment three years ago, not much needed to be done at all. Unfortunately, just one year later the apartment flooded — not once but twice — and all within two months! All the floors, cabinets and carpets had to be ripped out and replaced. Luckily, this meant Jean got to choose new paint colors, rugs and flooring, which made up for the inconvenience. Jean is a photographer by trade and has been working in the advertising industry for a while as an art buyer and producer. Only recently has she decided to take the leap, follow her heart and branch out into the interiors and art industry. Judging by her home and Instagram feed alone, this is a field that Jean will excel in. Jean's home is awash with color, artwork and sentimental items collected on travels, all of which have a story and personal meaning. This has created a home with a hea...

Melbourne newlyweds’ dreams crushed by apartment developer’s sunset clause

Image
Day one of their Italian honeymoon and Edward Roberts and Jade Walker received the email that would crush their long-held dreams of moving into their first home. From a hotel in Rome, they learned that their developer was tearing up the contract for their off-the-plan apartment in Croydon. “We were stunned and we were shattered because for two years, we’d been hanging on to moving into our first home,” Mr Roberts said. C24 development ." /> An artist’s impression of the inside of an apartment at the C24 development . The letter, seen by Fairfax Media, was sent last month, more than two years after the couple had signed the contract for the two-bedroom apartment. The practice has been dubbed “sunset clawback”, a practice where developers rescind contracts for off-the-plan purchases and then put apartments back onto the market for sale. “Two Christmases have gone by that we’ve missed out on being in our first home.” Edward Roberts It highlights the risks of buying off-the-plan, ...

Construction finally begins on long-planned Logan Square apartment block

Image
More than three years after the proposal for new apartments and retail at 2340 N. California Avenue first surfaced, the project’s developers have finally broken ground . According to developers Hunt Investment Management and Savoy Development , workers have finally begun constructing a new six-story building at the site. The project, which currently does not have a formal name or branding yet, will eventually deliver 138 apartments , 44 vehicle parking spaces , and roughly 9, 000 square feet of ground floor retail space to the booming Logan Square neighborhood by fall 2018. While it was proposed around the same time as other nearby transit-oriented developments that have been completed and open for at least several months, the plan to develop on California had experienced a number of alterations and setbacks since it was introduced in April 2014. Originally dubbed “California Studios,” the plan from Savoy Development sought a dense 66-unit project with 63 units being studio apar...

13 Movies To Stream On Netflix And Hulu Based On Your Mood

Long story short: There are no good movies opening in wide release this week. Or next week. I’m here to help. August in general ― particularly the second half ― tends to be a dumping ground for mediocre films. The summer blockbuster deluge fades , but Oscar season hasn ’t yet hit, which can render August something of a nonstarter for quality entertainment. This year’s crop is especially disheartening. Plenty of holdovers worth seeing are still in theaters, like “Dunkirk,” “Girls Trip,” “Logan Lucky” and “The Beguiled.” In case you already caught those, or if you’d rather enjoy some celluloid from the comfort of your sofa, here’s a smattering of recommendations available on Netflix and Hulu. If you want to get groovy “Jimi: All Is By My Side” (2014) Most music biopics underscore the after-effects of fame, but “Jimi: All Is By My Side” ends right as Jimi Hendrix goes from cool cat about town to burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll powerhouse. It’s an impressionistic portrait that treats Hendrix li...

Waterchase Apartments - Apartments - 401 Rosery Rd NE, Largo, FL - Phone Number

First off, I want to say I really like my apartment. I've been here about one month. I'm on a 15 month lease (cheaper than 12). I have a one bedroom apartment. The pricing is affordable. Couple of things to keep in mind if your looking for a one bedroom, and I am talking only about my own experiences. First, the staff upfront are nice. I did have an issue with my a/c unit over a weekend and in the evening, and I called the number and maintenance came right away and fixed the issue without a hitch (thank you!). Packages can be dropped off at front office and picked up. I found very few bugs, and I contacted the office to spray the apartment. Unfortunately, they don't have a plan to routinely pest spray the apartments, and you have to request to be put on the list (of which the service is available weekly). My unit does not have a washer/dryer (nor hookup), and there are decent laundry facilities , but no machines to give you change, and the machines don't take credit ca...

Image
Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 3:34 p.m. Apartment Complex " /> A newborn baby was found early Thursday morning abandoned in the bushes of an apartment complex , the Harris County Sheriff 's Office said. Around 5 a.m., a man at The Bridges of Cypress Creek apartment complex on Red Oak Drive was leaving for work when he heard crying noises coming from the bushes. "He couldn't tell what it was, and then he looked and saw that it was a baby," said sheriff's office spokesman Jason Spencer . "He found a baby girl still with the umbilical cord on, lying on the ground." That man, Albert Peterson, told KHOU he at first thought the sound was coming from a toy. When he picked up the baby, she was still covered in blood and mucus and had ants all over her. Peterson took her back to his apartment, then called 911. "That’s just sad, for a human being to do another human being like that," Peterson told the station. Spencer said deputies followed bl...

Josh Shaw 'potentially' can return

Shaw has been suspended indefinitely and was already expected to miss at least the first month of the season with a pair of high ankle sprains . "Potentially," Sarkisian said when asked if Shaw could return to the team. "Sure." Shaw said he suffered his injuries Saturday night after jumping from the second story of an apartment complex to save his 7-year-old nephew, who was struggling in the pool. Shaw said his nephew did not know how to swim. He admitted to team officials Wednesday that the story was a complete fabrication. Sarkisian, however, said Shaw did not tell them how he suffered the injury outside of "falling from a balcony" and was with his recently hired attorney , Donald Etra, when he spoke to him and school officials. "He was unable to tell us," Sarkisian said. "When he actually admitted to us that he was lying, he was in the presence of his attorney. That's a better question for his attorney. He didn't tell us a...

The £300m network of North Point Global projects that scar Liverpool

Image
Troubled developer North Point Global has left Liverpool scarred with a patchwork of stalled developments at high-profile sites across the city. The group was once heralded as a powerhouse of regeneration set to deliver two stunning gateways to the city centre and a portfolio of sister projects. Yet after being hit with legal action by Liverpool Council and with its founder subjected to allegations, which he has always denied, of links to criminals, the company is now set to withdraw from its work due to its directors’ own belief that its reputation lies in tatters. North Point Global announced it would dispose of its Liverpool projects in a detailed 1, 100 word press statement sent to the ECHO on Monday afternoon. New Chinatown developer to withdraw from projects after image 'damaged beyond salvage' Blaming ECHO coverage and the “vitriolic” actions of Liverpool Council, the company suggested its position was no longer sustainable in the city. But in reality its withdraw...

The 30- day notice period is up for people forced to leave their Glenbrook Apartment. "I lived two years here, at this apartment," said Abdirahmaan Awil Khaire , a refugee living at Glenbrook, "I like it here, but I move." A new owner bought the Glenbrook Apartments and plans to renovate them. Early September, people living there on month-to-month leases were given 30- day notices terminating their tenancy. Many residents are refugees. Hundreds of refugees forced out of Boise apartments "I thought it was really unfair for these people," said Jace DeGrange, a Centennial High School senior .

How Current Cinema Represents Modern Domestic Life

Image
To the credit of the Locarno Festival, the films in the 2017 selection don’t waste time trying to tell universal stories that transcend their time and place. Falling in love varies depending on the social conditions behind it, as Xu Bing’s found-footage film “Dragonfly Eye s” aptly proves, while weaving a story about obsession and surveillance in contemporary China. Similarly, working in a mine in Serbia has a wholly different routine than mining for gold in Suriname, as Ben Russell’s latest documentary “Good Luck” takes its time to show. Even something as widespread as the notion of the work/life balance varies considerably in films from Locarno coming from different parts of the world and set in different milieus, and enough of these films either circumvent or contradict traditional depictions of the home. It’s telling that new films in which the home is a sooth place are either set in different eras (Todd Haynes’ “Wonderstruck”) or built upon obviously artificial narrative ...
