Foxchase is cheap for a reason. I recently discover the reason why. Living on the ground floor brings its issues. One of those issues being, the sewage backup into my unit I recently experienced. Maintenance and management were both notified and advised me that they had a professional cleaning company on the way to handle all cleanup and sanitization of both the unit and my own personal property. Company arrived but did not clean much of anything. They left even after I advised them of the sewage still on the floor. Maintenance and management were both notified but being after hours no one was available. So taking it upon myself to sanitize the unit I did so. I contacted management about the issue the following day during business hours. no answer and the call went to voicemail, message left. The next day tried again. Still no answer and voicemail was left. That same day I received a survey for there service. I handled the survey the same way they handled the sewage issue. Poor grades were issued. The next day I finally received a response from management 3 days after the incident, who issued an apology and said that they would contact the property owner (Aimco) due to the situation and see if they could assist me in the damages since it was not of my doing. 2 days later an email was sent "sorry again but damage is on you and your renters insurance." The next day I received a call from the head of maintenance who apologized and said I should not of had to handle that problem at all. He said he will do better and apologized. Now a week later from the date of incident. I contacted management by phone and email again to see if they will assist me in compensation for the problem that was their responsibility and failed at doing so and I handled. Still no response. At this point I am beyond angry, the fact that no one in management seems to care and there almost lack of response has me curious of other health issues such as mine that have taken place. At this time I have contacted the BBB and filed a claim for Aimco's inability to provide a clean living space not of my own doing. I have also contacted Virginia's board of health and human services who will be conducting a health inspection. To investigate if any other tenants may have been exposed to sewage in there units and if proper measures were taken in clean up by maintenance and follow up by management. If this is what you can afford, be warned. There are other issues that will become apparent within the first week or 2 of moving in. Good luck if you decide to live here but if possible don't live on the ground floor unless you like sewage in your home.
