Everything Else

In short, the owners are fully aware of the bad construction quality yet they lie to all the tenants about maintenance, essentially painting over problems rather than fixing them. This is a huge problem for tenants on the 4th (top floor) of all 4 blocks of this community. more… 1. The ceiling leaks every time it rains (both smoke detectors don't work because of the water damage). This is huge in terms of civil defence health and safety. 2. The windows do not seal properly leading to a build up of heat and humidity inside the apartment. AC bills are ridiculous as a result. 3. This humidity leads to mold developing in the false ceiling which leads to really bad smells. 4. Balcony drainage does not work because the contractor managed to pour cement into the pipes. 5. Sink water smells like chemicals in the mornings. The building owners and maintenance are an absolute scam refusing to accept any of the above, they lie to us and paint over problems.Show less
