DO NOT rent from them and live on the property! You won't have privacy, there are too many…read moreliabilities, and you won't get respect or timely assistance. People use public paths 24hrs and will walk on property, up to house, and try to open doors. No signage that it's not public like other buildings are. After a break-in, landlord, Leonard Rose, promised that security system tech would be out the next week, but that didn't happen and it took over 6 months, many excuses, and lawyer involvement just to get a quote. No one held him accountable to his lies, especially board with daughter nor Executive Director Angela Doto. DO NOT TRUST A WORD ANGELA DOTO SAYS! Len then put up cameras, but didn't give me access so he could have been watching us at any time without me knowing which is very creepy, but that is the vibe there - creepy people. A very small fence project to give us privacy started in October and then never got worked on again, so come next July it was just pieces of wood still laying on the ground. Many loud events with many people held onsite and never notified tenants. I could hear every word of people using other side of house kitchen throughout my apartment. People drive and park on property overnight shining lights into bedroom. Apartment got flooded due to drain neglect and then we had to clean outside drains weekly. Trash bins never emptied after a year of requests to multiple staff members, trash bags then had to be set outside before 1/2 mile walk to dumpster and dogs let loose destroy bags and dog owners don't clean up. A thermostat for our apartment was on the other side of the house and on a different floor, so we didn't have temperature control of all our own apartment and one AC vent blew air directly outside. Regular contractor mentioned several times that lead paint was still on the walls. Fountain only worked while important people visited otherwise was mosquito breeding pool. Landlord took considerable donation from local for repairs then just didn't do it and lady had to ask for her money back over a year later. Events manager relieved after stealing money unnoticed for years. Local church staff are not inviting nor offer assistance or prayer during illness or emergency. Church staff is more concerned about increasing the value of their art than helping the local community. They brag about their art in the Louvre, but only help the community by sponsoring one man to become a preacher in their church. I could find no charitable services to poor or needy yet ask for donations for them to build mini replica houses that serve no charitable function and Executive Director stated, when asked about this, "we are not that kind of church." Executive Director was told for 5 weeks that an action of an employee was causing tenant pain and she said she wouldn't bother the employee. She cared more about her relationship with an employee than the fact that a tenant was in physical harm and her relationship with the board then holding the landlord accountable to keeping his word. During a financial and health hardship when asked for financial assistance Angela, the Executive Director, berated me and told me they don't offer those services and her asking would look bad upon her. Staff, especially aloof, dishonest, and unhelpful Executive Director, unqualified, inept, and lazy landlord, and do nothing officers practice conflict avoidance, so issues, safety concerns, and complaints are never addressed and no one is held accountable to their word. Landlord only helped after legal pressure. Nepotism is rampant. Last name goes over qualifications for employment. Landlord is brother of preacher and their other brother is Treasurer who acts inappropriately to women and this gets swept under the rug. Women do not have equal rights in this religion, preachers scoff at the idea of women clergy, and the LGBTQ+ community is not accepted. It is a sham for a small group of people named Rose who live for free. I will never set foot on that property again! Grounds were pretty. 1 star is too many.
