I have a few complaints about JW Hunter. We live in an apartment building in the Barton College area and this building is a little old. There are 5 units in the building including the one I currently live in. All of the other apartments have been renovated in the last year and our apt. has not been renovated in over 6 years. Things have been falling apart. We have had mold in our bathroom that was only painted over and not scraped off. I do not know if it was harmful mold but if it is/was it was not taken care of properly. We had to wait a full week (in business days so 7 business days) for our heat to be restored during December of 2010. Our appliances are from the early 80's and the stove has a burner that has stopped working from being so old. We have had two leaks. One in my bedroom closet and one around the AC vent where the filter is located. This has caused the ceiling to start coming down in the closet and the wood to start to rot and God knows what around the unit and in a closet right beside the area of the leak. Then today we were trying to fix a plumbing issue. We have had numerous problems with the plumbing getting backed up and they hold you liable for back ups etc. We were trying to fix the kitchen sink and we were trying to take the pipe off to look to see what the problem was and the pipes are so old it crumbled in my boyfriend's hand. It cut him and everything....a pipe....crumbled! I have always liked the receptionist at the front desk at the ofc in Wilson and even the repair man that has come to do "repairs." However JW Hunter needs to do the necessary REPAIRS and not just cover them up for aesthetic purposes. Honestly I think at this point in time if it were to undergo inspection it would fail for our unit at least. It is not only irresponsible of them but dangerous for tenants as well. We are moving out at the end of the month but I think this needed to be said to warn prospective tenants about what might await them if they choose to do business with JW Hunter. Thank you.
