Alpine Village

The paint is peeling off the buildings (you can see it from 84th street), there's places where pieces of siding or trim have fallen off the buildings, never to be replaced. There's probably 2" of dead insects inside the lights at the doorways, and cobwebs all over them. Half the external security doors don't actually lock because the frames are sinking. The windows and patio doors leak air like crazy, to the point you can see the blinds moving when it's windy and feel the cold air coming in. Most of the air conditioners need to be replaced as they're so old and have been run into by the lawn service so many times they are dented or have pieces missing. Bricks were knocked off a garage, and it sat like that for probably 2 years before it was fixed. Have a neighbor smoking pot? They'll tell you they "can't do anything about it" and tell you to call the police. Have a leak somewhere making a stain on the ceiling? They'll just spray waterproofing paint over it no matter how many times it happens and never fix wherever the water is coming in. Never submit anything for maintenance unless it is ONE thing at a time, because they'll never look at the whole thing. The walls are covered in so many layers of cheap paint that even if you use Command strips, it will still take 10 layers of it off once you try and remove them. You'll pay to have your pet's "DNA tested" so they can fine you if you don't pick up their poop, but there's dog poop everywhere on the grounds and nobody picks it up, so you know nobody is being penalized for it. People throw their cigarette butts all over on the grounds. The dog stations are always CRAMMED full to the top with waste bags, so rarely does anyone empty them. They aren't keeping up the property, but they can sure gut and redo the clubhouse. They keep hiking up the rent year after year by $25 or more, but in comparison to other places in the area, what they offer isn't anywhere near as extensive or nice.
