“Front door coming in is loud and the door is open more then it's locked. The trash outside is not emptied often - the dog station always stinks and if full. Bags need to be replaced more often. There's trash scattered everywhere daily and the disposal area is always a mess - which you have to see everyday when pulling into the development. Emails go unanswered.”
