Normandy Apartments

I lived here for five years. This apartment building used to be a hidden gem in Dearborn until the original owners sold to an apartment management company that is nothing more than slumlords. Everything changed: residents were not screened, the building was not kept up like before, "landscaping" became a guy on a mower mowing the grass, residents moved in with grandchildren. New residents put bed sheets or black garbage bags on their windows instead of curtains, actual garbage littered the hallways and lobby, the children threw coffee mugs off the balcony and damaged residents' cars, police were being called on a regular basis, but nothing was done about it. I moved out.

My relative has lived there for over 5 years. Up until the sale of the property, the apartments would get a 5 star review. Under the new management, however, cuts have been made in every area - residents, landscaping, maintenance, activities, and general upkeep. My relative now looks at an overfilled dumpster in the parking lot. The lot was not cleared for walking when it snowed. My relative needed a clearance from a social worker's visit before she was approved to rent an apartment. She did not have a problem with any of the disabled residents. Now several of the new people moving in are obviously mentally ill - roaming the halls at night, banging doors, starting fires, having confrontations, etc. Many of the residents under the old management company have moved and my relative is on a waiting list to move.
