Seven Oaks Condominiums review and complaints

After living here for almost 4 years, I have had 3 major water leaks due to most of the water lines being made from old galvanized pipes from the early 1980's. These pipes frequently have tiny leaks that usually rust shut, but sometimes there are major leaks. Each time, a large hole is cut in the ceiling, a plumber comes to assess - then reschedules for the repair, then a drywall guy is scheduled, then finally the painter. Each time has taken 1-2 months start to finish.

As if this weren't enough, there are electrical problems with failing circuits which require ripping the walls open to fix.

Another issue I ran into was that I kept finding these small black particles on the table in my kitchen. For the longest time, I thought that I just kept spilling coffee grounds. Come to find out, there was a carpenter ant infestation in the ceiling and the droppings were falling out of the can light in the ceiling. The only reason for this would be that there is water damaged wood on the side of the building where the ants are coming in.

My final complaint with these structures is that you can here every step above you. You can feel your walls shake when your neighbor goes up the stairs. Heaven forbid that your neighbor has a guitar or something - because you can hear the sounds echo down the fireplace.

I write this in hopes that anyone considering moving into one of these properties finds it useful.
