The place has really, really gone downhill rapidly, and I would strongly encourage you to stay away. The building was sold to Halfpenny Management a few years ago, and though Halfpenny claims to spend more on maintenance than the previous management, they are not hiring people with any skill to upkeep the place. So, for instance, last summer, they hired a bunch of “painters” to paint the shutters and windowframes on everyone’s apartments. Not only did they make a mess of all of our apartments when they sanded the window panes and got tons of dust and paint chips inside (everyone’s windows were open because it was still open window weather, and we had not been told this work would be done to know to shut them), they took several weeks to do the work and painted our windows shut when they finally finished (oh, and the windows looked worse after the work than they did before). The onsite management is also terrible. If you catch Susan Sweeney on a good day, she’ll be kind enough to you, but if she knows you are not signing your lease again, God help you. Even if you are signing your lease again, you’re odds of being treated well are still hit or miss. Susan wanted to show our apartment to prospective renters on the day of my father’s funeral. When I told her that would not be a good day because it was the day of his funeral, she thanked me for being so understanding and still wanted to go ahead with the showing. I had to actually spell out for her that someone coming to see the apartment that day would walk in on a bunch of people dressed in black and crying before it got through to her thick head that she should pick another day.All of that pales in comparison to the fact that the people that are moving in are awful neighbors. Jericho Manor used to be a quiet and clean place to live. Now, because they are having trouble filling their apartments, they let anyone in out of desperation. You can pretty much disregard any part of your lease that protects your rights because those, apparently, don’t cover things your neighbors do that could potentially set the building on fire, when they have extended shouting and stomping sessions, or when they allow their dogs to bark nonstop for an hour at a time (more than one neighbor does this). At one point, things got so bad, I had to call Abington’s Animal Control. The officer’s first question to me when he heard the barking and saw my videos of other barking sessions was an incredulous, “Why isn’t the property management doing anything about this?!” Yes, exactly. Our complaints were brushed off, and we eventually made the decision to leave because we dreaded coming home anymore. Despite the lease saying the property management’s end of the bargain was to ensure those who caused problems for their neighbors would be dealt with swiftly, we were charged for breaking our lease because, at the end of the day, the management knew the deadbeats would stick around for a long time and keep paying rent, so they were more valuable. There are other apartment complexes in Abington. Go to one of those and not one that had a town hall meeting held about it by local government because of the mounting concerns. Go to one that has electrical outlets that are up to code and grounded so you don’t cause the power to go off when you use your microwave and toaster at the same time. Go somewhere where you can find parking or have hot water on a reliable basis. Go somewhere where people don’t clean out the lint traps of the dryers and then throw the lint on the floor when there is a trash can steps away (if they clean the lint traps at all). Go somewhere people don’t eat fast food and leave their trash in the hallways. Go to one where there is not a robbery that was caused by a door the management was told invited burglars only to have the property management pretend the robbery never happened until Abington police actually put a notice up. Go anywhere but here.
