  I have not been getting heat in my apartment. The H3234333535343433**35H says they won&#**;t turn on radiator heaters until the weather gets colder, but It is freezing in my apartment at night . I also have black mole in the ceiling of my bathroom, which they have known since over a year, my stove only has one burner that works, my refrigerator is old that it leaks badly and bug issues (fleas, roaches and ants). I have tried to spray my building at my own expense. There is poor water pressure in the building and it takes ***** minutes for the water to heat up. Now they are wanting us to pay for water, gas and sewer after my lease was renewed, which I have not signed. There is also standing water in the basement of the building, there are holes in some of the floors and walls.

  Hello. As for a follow up on complaint ID: ******** I am the Vice President of Frontier Property Mang. I have done an investigation into this matter Had have done a follow up with the heating as the apartment building has a boiler system and every fall it is taken down for routine Maintenace before it gets cooler temps. The boiler Has been back up and running since Oct.22nd. The boiler only controls the heat to the building. Hot water runs off Water heaters themselves and the lines from the water heater to the apartment may take a few minutes to heat up because they are in the basement of the building and has to travel to the 2nd floor where tenets apartment is. We have not received any complaints from any tenets about water pressure to the complex. The black mold was on a ceiling tile on a drop ceiling was replaced. The stove has been repaired but one burner. We are currently waiting for a part to repair it, and the ***** is aware of this. The refrigerator has been checked into as well and repairs have been made. The only standing water in the basement spoken as of is around the sump pump that sits in a drain of the floor of the basement. as for holes in the walls are from were old lines ran through and are internal walls not outer walls. As for the utility's ***** was explain to that all utilities are shared and will have to be charged back for their portion. ***** also took Initiative to spray for bugs as nothing has been communicated to Frontier there was a problem. I have also pulled a work order history summery on this ***** and has no record of any Maintenance work orders submitted on any of these issues in their portal that we use for work orders and communication as well and if we do get workorders for maintenance request we do respond in a timely manner.

  On July the 6 th 2024. I submitted an application to rent an apartment . Application fee was *****. Did not hear from them untill today July 10. And the sent me a text message saying my application was not competitive with the other applications. No phone call or nothing did not even get to look at the place. Yes my credit is not so good. I am working on it. But how can they just take your money and not give you a chance to even rent a place. How can someone find a place to rent with businesses discriminating against you for credit.

  On December 1st, 2022, ****** Alton came into the leasing office to sign her lease agreement and addendums including a Pest Addendum that says the tenant is responsible for pest control, which she signed and dated (see attachment). Her unit was inspected and passed for health and safety concerns, which includes pests, by a St. Louis County inspector. Shortly after her move in, she called and complained about seeing a bug inside her unit. To be on the safe side, corporate sent out a pest control company on December 21st, 2022 (see attachment) to spray. They reported back that they see no pests or evidence of pests.  
  
  ****** Alton then contacted the office again in March of 2023 to report she had seen another bug in her unit. Corporate then sent the same pest control company back out on March 21st, 2023 (see attachment) to spray all four units in the building. The pest control company came back with the exact same findings as the first time, no pests or evidence of pests. 
  
  Regarding the maintenance she mentioned and pictures she provided. On November 6th she complained that the vinyl flooring was coming up around her tub in her bathroom and she wanted her unit sprayed again. I told her that I could put in a maintenance request to get this repaired promptly. I also informed her that we will not be spraying her unit again. That it was her responsibility. I also informed her that there was no way we could keep every single bug out and that occasionally one might get in. She responded back saying pest control should not be a tenant's job when she is not staying in a house. She then said she was contacting her lawyer. I responded back to that e-mail that since she was contacting her attorney, we could no longer speak. She then sent a response to that e-mail the same day saying the addendum is not valid and there are reviews about bugs in our buildings. I checked Google reviews and there were two new Google reviews less than an hour prior to her e-mail. One review has the same last name as hers, and neither are from anyone that has lived here.  
  
  Her current lease agreement ends on November 30th, 2023. The new owners decided to not renew her lease; it is not illegal to do so if she’s been given 30 days’ notice.

  I just moved here They told me they would clean it and I took there word for it but when I moved in it was so dirty and they apologized repeatedly. So I went to City hall and asked them how they even got passed in their inspection. I have emails and pictures to prove my case. The lady pulled it up and confirmed that the apartment I am in did not pass inspection. She told me Apt K passed inspection but not A which is the Apt I stay in.   ********* Wells manages the property.  He told me that he did his own inspection not city's halls inspection.  Mold and the hand rail is broken which is not even safe. The fridge has bugs and it doesn't get cold. I had a leak and problems before I even moved in. They fixed the toilet but refused to give me a new refrigerator. I pay over  1100 dollars is my rent and they refuse to clean and replace my refrigerator. They are unprofessional and are violating many move in standards. I feel they are doing illegal things. ******** and ****** at City Hall told me they should not have passed inspection. I have proof that the apartment failed inspection before I also have recordings that show it failed. We all have bad allergies and trouble breathing because of how unclean the apartment is.

  The unit was cleaned prior to ****** moving in but the cleaner did miss the oven and the basement and we had to send them back to clean the missed items. The unit 2201 Woodson Rd A (South) passed inspection on 9/7/23. ****** refuses to believe that the inspection passed and called the city hall multiple times saying that it did not pass when it did. She called so many times that the inspector actually did come by a second time just to make sure that it should have passed and it still passed per the inspector. The unit has no mold in it and the inspector confirmed this. ****** unplugged the refrigerator after moving in we can not control if fruit flies or flies get in your refrigerator during your tenancy due to your action of unplugging the unit. ********* did not lie, he does meet the inspector at the inspections in order for the inspector to gain access. We meet all inspectors during the inspections at all of our properties. We did have a sink leak and have sent maintenance out to resolve that issue and sending maintenance out for the freezer not keeping proper temperature which was just reported by the tenant yesterday on 10/12/23. There is a work order in for her freezer that we were just notified of yesterday that it was not keeping property temperature.

  ****** also has a lease violation for failure to obtain an occupancy permit which is required and if the tenant does not receive her occupancy permit she will be charged for court costs and fines.

  Moved out of my apartment on July 31, 2023 at the end of my lease. Today I received the security deposit report and can't believe what I am being charged for things. First of all, $200 for carpet cleaning, that based on what I can find I should not be charged for as it is routine carpet cleaning that would be required between tenants anyways. Also, it is stated that the microwave was dirty, which it was when I moved in but that it is a $40 charge for that which I find outrageous. Next, they mention stickers left on a window, they are the window stickers for a holiday and that is $25 to remove the couple that were there. The bathtub being dirty is something that was sent to them on my move in inspection that I should not have been charged for as it was stains that could not be removed upon my moving in. My biggest issue is the amounts that are seen as feasible for the things they are claiming. Not only was a significant problem of the shower leaking water off the side due to poor installation not addressed when I first started living there, but the upkeep of the tenants around me was not held to any type of standard, including but not limited to allowing a broke down vehicle to remain in the same parking spot crooked so it was hard to park in the spot next to it, as well as large amounts of cigarette butts on the ground outside of the apartment below mine that were clearly being smoked in a walkway and that was never addressed. So many things wrong with Frontier Property Management.

  When we moved out we had the management inspect our apartment to determine the deposit refund amount. We moved out June 1st and June 1st we had the inspection done which we were present for. While we were there she never mentioned anything they would be withdrawing money from our deposit for so we were under the impression we would get the full amount back. June 2nd we received a receipt by email saying what we would get back and what they kept money for. They kept $40 for drip pans which is fine but she failed to mention that when we were there at the inspection. Which we were present for the inspection for a reason, for her to tell us if they were keeping any money. Then I mentioned to the property manager twice about when we would possibly receive the refund because we were struggling financially and really needed it. She mentioned they had 30 days to do so. I’m fully aware they aren’t obligated to send it out just because we ask but they waited till june 29th to finally initiate the payment to us, in my opinion it seemed as they just waited till the last day just to be petty. My girlfriends portion of the deposit was direct deposit which she got July 6th and my portion was sent in the mail as a check for some reason. When we finally got the check on july 4th it turned out the management didn’t even sign the check so now we are 2 weeks out from the initiation of the payment and still have not been able to deposit the check. I’m very upset with the way their management has handled the situation. I emailed them explaining what had happened and no one has even bothered to apologize for anything.

  Deposit was refunded within clearly stated window of time. We are sorry for the inconvenience!

  Company refuses to fix safety and health concerns in unit. Floors are falling apart and they will not repair. Random pieces of sharp, rusted metal they will not remove. Reported leaky pipes and mold and they will not repair. Reported safety concerns regarding doors not closing or locking and they will not fix.

  Business response

  We have been in communication with this resident about the issues she has reported. Floors are not falling apart, it's just an older building so the floors are not perfect. See attached photo #1 provided by tenant. We do not see any needed floor repairs. The "sharp metal" is an old lock on the bathroom door because this is an older building. See attached photo #2. Front door does both close and lock. See attached photo #3. We do plan to remove the bathroom lock and add a strike plate to the front door. Tenant has been notified of our intent to fix these items during the upcoming week. Any mildew previously reported by the tenant has been treated and no new issues have been reported. We have not been able to locate any leaking pipes.

  I have water damage in my kitchen cabinets, I have water damage in the ceiling above the cabinets, and then my ceiling sheet rock in my bedroom, hallway and bathroom is coming down. You can see hole where it is coming down. The ceiling is coming down because of the water damage. in the living room and dinning room the sheet rock screws are backing out in the ceiling. Every sixteen inches you can see a screw coming out. I have copies of work orders that I have put in, Someone did come out and looked at the issue and stated that I do not have a mold issue, and that I do not have a active leak so it is not a issue. He also stated that it is a owner issue. I contacted the owner and he informed me to never contact him again and to reach out to property management. I contacted the property management and put another work order in to have my cabinets replaced in, and that they would contact the owner for his approval. I would like the mold removed from the corner cabinets, and the water damage to stop.

  Frontier started managing this apartment after the tenant had already moved in. On March 2nd, 2023 tenant told the owner there was an "active leak" and also  submitted a maintenance request that stated "black mold". Maintenance responded on the very same day to investigate and they reported that there was nothing damp or wet to indicate an active water leak. Roof was checked and showed no signs of damage. Maintenance stated there was NO mold present, and they only found some old water stains that look to have been there a very long time. We understand the cabinets are dated, but they have been in the same condition for as long as Frontier has managed the property.

  ***** **** ********* is where I live. I have been without a hot water heater for about one week. I have put in two work orders. I have reached out to the property manager and I was informed they would send someone out today, and then the maintenance stated that they would have a plumber come out and look at the hot water heater. I am disabled and I should not have to be without hot water for a week. Also, everyone else has new smoke detectors but I do not have the new one. I would like for my hot water heater repaired and new smoke detectors.

  Business response

  03/09/2023

  We have confirmed with maintenance that the hot water heater has been replaced. Since the smoke detectors still work, we will not be replacing them at this time. Thank You
