7th Street Station

I have lived here for three years. This past year office management has become increasingly frustrating to deal with and my apartment living standards are horrific. I currently have a hole in the outside part of my window leading to mold growth all throughout the window making it translucent and making my room smell like mold (that could also be the mold that comes from the condensation of the cheap thin windows). When I talked to maintenance about this issue they said they would fix it and had put in a work order. While the main maintenance man is extremely kind, hardworking, and communicative, the front office has miscommunicated with me several times about when they are coming to fix my window. Telling me last minute (18 hours) prior they are coming at 9am and asking me move all of my stuff under and around the window. When speaking to the front office manager about this issue she acted as if I was being a nuisance for even asking for an update after no one showed up to do my window. As someone who has been living here for 3 years and has had my rent increase about $300 dollars, I find the way that they handled this completely inappropriate. If you would like to live in apartments with a mold problem and management that miscommunicates for $1,200 a month plus utilities this is the perfect place for you. Not to mention, they have changed the way we pay our rent 3 different times and kicked us all out of our apartment for 12 hours making us pack everything up during midterms in boxes so that they can redo the flooring (which honestly didn't even really need updating compared to other features of these apartments). Overall, living here has been disappointing, and I have really been wishing I moved to another apartment complex in Corvallis. While I know rent options are limited in Corvallis, I truly think it is worth searching for a different place with better management and living standards. 7th street on paper offers a lot of nice services but in reality the utilities barely work and the apartments are covered in mold plus the communication is frustrating. Also see below for my petri dish windows from a lack of argon gas and what looks like mold.

incredibly incompetent and uncaring property management. they decided to replace the flooring of all the units during midterms and finals week and forced the residents to pack everything. they sent a notice saying they were inspecting our unit and expected our stuff to be packed the friday before the flooring replacement happening the next week and when i emailed them and said no, they backed down and said they were simply coming over to see if we had questions. they were going to invade our privacy over something that could be emailed about. they also misinformed us and said that the downstairs flooring would be replaced the first day and the upstairs flooring the second day, but then switched them the morning of, which we weren’t prepared for. they said we would only need to be out of our unit from 9 am to 6 pm, but then the replacement took past 7:30 pm to finish, so we had nowhere to stay. overall, they have pathetic and incompetent communication and organization and they don’t care about their residents at all.
