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

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.

grand_oaks_apartment_0004.JPGLathan Goumas | MLive.comPeter 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 complex anymore or the huge crack that was not properly fixed in their basement, Witten said.

In response to the story a statement from Jill Jackson, vice president of Group Five Management which manages Grand Oaks, sent a statement saying limitations in the city's pumping system contributed to the rain water challenges residents at Grand Oaks Apartments have faced since the major storm last week.

In regards to the issues the residents have faced in the past the statement said, "In the five years that we have managed the property, we have been committed to continuous improvements. Going forward, we will work with the City to help make sure future storms don’t impact our residents this seriously."

In a statement headed " Mt Albert state housing land now in Chinese hands", Peters said some of the former Housing NZ land at 98-130 Haverstock Rd in Sandringham "went to China Southern Airlines people from China and not to ease the housing shortage for Auckland residents". He attached a photo showing a banner in front of a house saying in Chinese and English: "Warmly welcome the leadership from Aviation Services Department to China Southern Airlines Crew Apartment in Auckland, New Zealand." The property was given Special Housing Area status in May 2014, with a requirement 10 per cent of homes must be "affordable. These areas were disestablished when the new Auckland Unitary Plan came into force last Septe...
