    "The people here are very violent and they are very mean to animals. It’s very noisy here all hours of the day and the cops and ambulances are here on nearly a daily basis. The current managers are doing nothing to keep us safe. Instead they make our lives miserable by constantly turning off the water, internet, and hot water for days at a time without notice. I’ve reached out to the owners but they are no help either."
