This place is an absolute disgrace. There are many very kind residents here who won't advocate for…read morethemselves because they live in fear of losing their homes due to a childish staff who don't like one another (two of which are now gone, thankfully). There's supposed to be an in-house service coordinator to help people but they don't exist. From the day I signed the lease it was nothing but confusion and unnecessary drama, which admittedly, I should have taken as a red flag to go elsewhere. Maintainance was deplorable, though they got an excellent temp for a bit but obviously he declined to stay on any longer. The other maintenance staffperson is a young man who deserves a medal for having put up with the woman they got rid of and the disgusting state of this building. Tenants pay astronomical rent with no help in understanding the process of how to get vouchers. Have a job? Don't work from home, they have inspections about once a month and they'll come to your apartment if you want them to or not and whether you're home or not, according to the letters. They seem to pass these inspections every time despite bed bugs, mold, leaks, greasy footprints all over the floor. The "events" are bingo 2x weekly and cards once a week, which about 5-8 people play. More of a gossip club, as is the smoker's club outside. Don't let anyone know your business, and boy do they think they're entitled to it. This bldg is the only one of the 16 Church Residences properties in Michigan to not give subsidies. Rent is flat rate regardless of what percentile they figure you fall into, and goes up NOT at the end of your lease, but in January, by about $50. Most elderly do not even get that kind of increase in their social security yearly, so if you stay here, you will eventually need an extra source of income, but you're limited at that so that you don't go over some fictional threshold that is more than the area median. I have 2 different papers I was given with two different income limits, and they are drastically different. Speaking of area (this part not being their fault of course), if you like methheads and hood thugs, this is the place for you. Bar fights behind the building, police at the neighboring apartment almost daily, M-80s set off in the adjacent park at 3 am. Your car is not safe and neither are you. Derelicts sneak into the building and do absolutely disgusting things so we live on lockdown, and the trash that do live here let them in at night. I spoke to a resident that stated she knew a couple of them have let them in. Then there's the section 8 dwellers that for some reason are allowed to live here (22 units worth, I believe), and you sure know who they are. This was a 55+ and now 62+ but there's people in here far younger than that getting section 8. Favoritisms are played, it's very clear. They should be going by people's income, but it doesn't work that way. It used to. Free water but don't expect it to be hot. I have to run mine 10-15 minutes in the AM for shower. Plumbing clogs up all the time, horrible smells, peeling paint from excess moisture. Pressure comes and goes, and showers come in hot/cold bursts. Have to heat water on stove to do dishes many times. No recycling, wasted resources everywhere, dog feces (at least I hope it's dog) on the carpets that haven't been replaced since the building was built in late 70s/early 80s, filth, mold, bed bugs (which they think entitles them to keep you in your apartment if they get them, even though the rest of the building is disgusting), hallways clocking in at 95 degrees in the summer because they wont turn on the air anywhere except downstairs. A/C that is only in bedrooms and living room, not kitchen where it's needed, AND you only get heat or air, not both. They turn it off from October to May. No grocery store trips or senior center. Tenants are expected to take the city bus. Rule enforcement depends on who you are. One person gets kicked out immediately for a cigarette starting a balcony fire while another gets caught smoking at least four times and they're still here. There are 8 washers and 8 dryers that an outside company are supposed to maintain that they clearly do not. No soap comes out on the 11th floor and way too much on the 5th, for example. Floor 8 someone washed their sh##tty pants or dog's blankets out in the sink, which we've found more than once. There are 154 units, with 20 of them being 2 bedrooms. There could be upwards of 200 people living in this building and it has 16 laundry machines to accomodate that, and space for about 30 of them in the communal room for meals on wheels. You are inundated with rule addendums and notes left at the door over the least little thing. I could point out dozens more things but the bottom line is this property rakes in $1.2+ million a year in rent. Where is all our money going if National Church Residences and MSDHA can't even do basic things like replace the tile in the elevators and the carpet in the halls?

Midtown Square Apartments apartments are very large and spacious. I live in a one bedroom and there…read moreis plenty of closet space and tons of space in the living room, there is a small dining room, the bedroom is very big and the bathroom is very spacious. They also allow Direct TV in the building which I thought was a big, big plus. So I know you are probably waiting for me to get to the bad points. 1. We don't have doorbells. There is a long electrical cord that hangs right by my front door from inside the building. I'm guess it belongs to the doorbells lol! I didn't have a working doorbell when I moved in, I don't have a working doorbell now and I'm pretty sure that I won't have a working doorbell later on before my lease is up next summer. When I have guests or order pizza, they must call you to let you know they are outside otherwise they are not getting in! Got a package coming from UPS? You better sit outside on the steps and wait for them because if UPS can't get in or notify you that they are here, they will leave a notice of attempt to deliver sticker right on the front door!!!! UPS cannot leave packages at the office because UPS comes after 5pm in this area and the office closes at 5pm! 2. When it rains, you can forget about parking. The middle of the parking lot fills up with a pool of water that you can nearly swim in. It does away after a day or two but it does this every time it rains. 3. Maintenance is VERY POOR!!! I'm going to say this again though, the problems were already here when they came. They just didn't know the magnitude of it. Let me start with my neighbors. Another one of my long time neighbors is moving (eventually when her lease is up) because they won't properly fix the lock on her door. You can definitely tell that there is a serious problem with the door because everyone can hear hers slamming the door 3-4 times just to get it to shut and lock. My other neighbor just couldn't take the lack of repairs anymore. I think her breaking point was the fact that they decided to put in exit signs on all of the doors. I nearly wanted to break out in laughter when I saw this too. This is the reason why. I have had a hole in my ceiling since February 2013 from a previous leak from my neighbor upstairs. They fixed the leak, but had to tear out a hole in the ceiling just to get to it. The company before decided to patch the hole by cutting a square piece of drywall and nailed it into the ceiling to cover the hole. It's been that way since. So in June when the new company came I said something about it. They said they would fix it. So, in July, they sent someone to do a walk through of all the units. When they went in my bathroom, the guy kept saying WOW, WOW, WOW when he saw the hole. He made a note of it and that was the last I saw or heard anything about it. So hear it is the last week of August so I make another request to fix the hole. They send someone out and this guy says WOW that's crazy. That is just crazy. He tells me that he's going to come back the next day and fix it. So the next day comes and he realizes why the old company patched it the way they did. The pipe they fixed is too big to cover properly so the slapped drywall up on the ceiling to cover the hole. They need to send someone out to redo the pipes. So, that guy comes and all he does it look at it. He says that the pipes can be redone so that he can patch up the hole. They slap that drywall back up and leave. A week later.................... No one is coming to fix the hole so I call the office. Management tells me the following: The guy that's supposed to fix that pipe is on vacation. They have someone that can fix it but I'm going to have to wait until they put in the exit signs first (You can imagine the look on my face when she said that to me) and that I'm not the only one in the building with this problem and I will have to wait. I really wanted that hole to get patched up because I had guests coming over. The same guests that saw the hole back in February. You can imagine the embarrassment on my face when they said "Dang, you have had that hole for almost a year now and they still haven't fixed it? Then they went on about the tenant rights and how I do this and do that to get out of my lease. No body wants to hear that crap and I don't want to leave. I just want the darn hole fixed. The only problem that worries me is that if something else goes wrong how long will I have to wait for that to get fixed? Who knows. I'm just tired and I've been considering for the last two-three days if I should just count my losses and leave too. But who has $2,000.00 to break a lease? The apartment complex is okay but you need to know first that you are not a priority when it comes to repairs. That's just my honest opinion about it.

We are only the second tenants to live in our apartment so everything is like brand new yet (which is why the higher rent is justifiable for me). I like the granite throughout, hardwood floors, ceiling fans in most rooms and two car garage is awesome. We have a nice back patio that backs to trees, which again is great. Whenever we've had to put in a maintenance request in, Kenny is here the next day to take care of it. He's awesome to work with and does a great job.

Okay so where do I start? Everything started off great and I thought I moved into a decent…read moreapartment community, but it end up being the worst rental experience possible. Three weeks into me living here I found bed bugs crawling in my apartment. Mind you I've lived at my previous address for years and never had bed bugs before. Now at this point I am very uncomfortable. Since I have never experienced anything like this before, I immediately get on the internet and do some research on these bugs. After spending a couple of hours on the internet I went out and brought the Harrison Bed Bug Kit to prevent the spread of infestation. The reviews said to mist Dichotomous Earth where ever I think the bed bugs will hide, so I did just that. The next day I told the maintenance staff about the situation and he told me he would tell the community manger, which is Jamere. He did as promised because the following day I got a phone call from Jamere to come and talk to her. Me and Jamere talked and I expressed to her that I was uncomfortable living here and that It's unfair that I have to live under these conditions. After talking she said someone will be out to take care of the bed bugs. Fast forward to two days later I noticed that my neighbor directly across the hall had her door open and was moving furniture out. I go out and ask her friends whats going on and they tell me they are about to exterminate. I ask them what they are about to exterminate and he reply's, "we're trying to get rid of the bed bugs." I heard my neighbor say she has been dealing with this infestation for over a year. At this point I am livid. Now it makes sense. Because she has a infestation with bed bugs I to have to deal with bed bugs, not fair. I could go on and on here, but I think you get the picture. As I mentioned before this is the worst rental experience ever! The general manager Aaron does not respond to phone calls and the place is infested with bed bugs. Oh and the central air doesn't work.

I did a check list when moved in and nothing ever was done and I verbally spoke with Pat reminding her and even emailed her. Not up to date on taxes with Wayne County. They are listed as Forfeited for 2008 and deliquent 2009 and who knows 2010. Water bill behind making partial payments. If you go look up and down and around dead flies in lights. Parking sucks have to fight for spots because bar next to it is normally off the hook. Suppose to be seniors second floor up and and and everyone has moved in, whether living with grand parents or just to collect that rent. I learned the hard way that sometimes what looks good is not. She's never in the office, you'll see her car and the lights on but she will have family pick her up and ride with them. I should have known something neighbors were complaining about leakage and I was invited over to be shown how it literally would rain over the entire room. Again this unit is on the ground level where tenant would cover bed and Tvs and Furniture with plastic tarps. after researching I came to the conclusion Pat and whomever owns this property are about to foreclose because its document to far gone in taxes and water bill so just stacking until get put out.
