Tenant Reviews for 3400 Ocee St

I've lived here for 8 months now and I've never experienced any problems and the office employees are very kind and they invited us to many activities they organized, also I do like my neighbors.

I regretted I moved in after only 2 weeks of being here. My ac went out so I called 24hr maintenance, the man answer and told me to wait until business hrs and hung up. I called back and told him he needed to come now, I'm pregnant and I have a 1yr old here. Came looked around and still didn't fix it... someone came 2 days later and fixed it in 10mins. My water bill is always unbelievably high, seeing that I'm rarely here. If it rains don't expect to be able to get to your car or apt without getting drenched to the kneecaps. Every time it rains I have to take off my shoes and roll my pants up to my thighs just to get to my apt, because the drainage is so bad. Everything in my apt is broken(cabinets, oven,dishwasher...etc) the water that fills the toilet is waaay cleaner than the water that comes out of the tub or the sink in the kitchen. Bedbugs and ant infested. The staff is extremely rude. If I could give them a negative infinity , I would. The apts are overpriced, the parking spots are too close together. I had to pay for an extra spot just for when I have visitors because otherwise they would have to park outside the apts on a street. Furthermore, I would never recommend that anyone stays here.

The apartments are not very pleasant and are very dirty the first day.. not enough renovations ! it is very old .

These apartments are not worth the price. They are so UNPROFESSIONAL and none of them ESPECIALLY ------ have any type of customer service skills. 1. ROACHES- The apartments are infested and they spray when you bother them to do it. 2. BED BUGS- It took a few months but then it was ridiculous. Even with the mattress protectors. You will see people throwing their beds out almost weekly. 3. The assigned Parking is terrible 4. They give you the water bill the week or sometimes DAY its due. 5. They have an excuse for everything. I've had to contact the regional manager just to get things done. They go based on their feelings and your attitude not actual facts. This apartment complex has potential if they were able to CLEAN UP. In the 2 years i've lived here the pool has been open 1 summer in 2013 and it was only open during office business hours. BUT yet when they tour the apartment the POOL is what they show you. I would not recommend this apartment to any of my friends. We only stayed 2 years because we could not afford to move to a better home. Now that were gone im thankful.

I have lived here approximately 1 year and a half. I will not renew my lease this time around. First off I have roaches and the extermination process seems to invite them into my home. It seems as if the poison has sugar or a food agent the roaches like. My light bill for a one bedroom apartment during the summer is 220.00 and my A/C is maintained on 70 which that is the lowest I can withstand due to over heating. I don't sleep comfortable at night and my husband is normally in a full sweat due to the temperature inside the apartment. These apartments are so old and not energy efficient at all. The parking is horrible and each unit has one reserved parking space which are tight. Unfortunately I have two cars so I have the option to purchase another space at 25.00 a month or park on the street. My neighbor continue to change rapidly. Also if a tenant is unable to pay their rent on the first management will post a letter on their door in big writing that rent is late for everybody to see passing by. I have seen several tenant eviction letter posted on the door for everybody to see, which I find to be distasteful. I have witnessed one shooting since I've been here and the person who was shot ran right passed my stair leaving a blood trail. I wouldn't recommend these apartments to anyone, also their gate is always broke.

I have lived here for 2 years now and this place is getting worse and worse! I have experience 3 shootings just like the other person said with the pictures. My car was broken into! You only get one parking space even if your lease has more than one name on it and if you want a second space you have to pay $25 a month for it. Your reserved parking space is a mile away from your apartment and Your visitors are supposed to park outside of the complex along the street. The pool is only open during leasing office hours and is locked 90% of the time plus isn't even clean! I haven't had a problem with maintenance not coming to fix things but they fix stuff half a**. Mold and mildew is a problem as others have already said. When your lease is up be prepared for your rent to go up $50+ to renew!! I would not recommend moving here!!

I have lived here for 8 months and it is the greatest mistake of my life. There are bedbugs in my apartment and they are not doing anything about it. I have complained several times but they only come here in my absence, leave a note that they fumigated the place yet bedbugs abound day in and day out here. I just discovered that I signed a bedbug addendum in my lease which stated that I have been warned of bedbugs and that I accept that they cannot do anything about it. This is sheer wickedness and I wonder why the city of Houston should allow such a rip off on law abiding citizens by a Shylockian apartment owner. Anyway, I accept responsibility. I read very ugly reviews about here but went ahead to move in because I was approved without any deposit due to my excellent credit history. And that is the only reason why I will not break my lease BUT I will rather die that live here one day after my lease is up in 4 months from now.

GUN VIOLENCE & HEALTH PROBLEMS Are you looking for an apartment where someone will get SHOT feet from your apartment? Were you hoping to find a place where MOLD grows in the walls because they will not fix problems quickly or correctly? Well, then you found your apartment complex and new home at The Gables at Richmond! Over a week after someone was shot outside my apartment there is still BLOOD all over the sidewalks. Yep, guess they don t care about even pretending to hide the violence or even be sanitary. Waking up to gun shots is way better than my boring old alarm clock. I had a leak in my ceiling and it took them so long to fix it I was living with mold. This has been the worst place I have ever lived and will be glad when my lease is finally up. Oh yeah, when asked about being able to cut my lease early because I'm not fond of walking through blood and bullet shells to get to my car they just told me too bad!

I inquired about an apartment here and was in the process of filling out an application with them. It took me 2 weeks to even get an application faxed to me. When I spoke to the woman on the phone she informed me I could fax the application back to them this wasn't the case (after I had already overnighted my deposit imagine that)these people apparently don't know what they are doing! Very frustrating when you live outside the state and can't just drop by. I never lived here but judging by how the application process worked I am thankful I didn't move in!

Never ever live there!Its the horrible place to live!Even though your ac is broken,the only thing they are going to tell you is wait during the business days!The conditions are terrible,staff is extremely rude !
