I regret to say that my experience renting from ************** Alinium Apartments has been nothing short of a nightmare. It is abundantly clear that the company's commitment to maintaining their properties was sorely lacking. First and foremost, the condition of the apartment itself was appalling. The Trash pile outside of the non functional trash compactor was always unsightly, But perhaps the most egregious issue was the persistent water damage caused by pipes bursting. It's astonishing how frequently this occurred around the entire complex, and each time it happened, it disrupted our lives and left us dealing with the aftermath of flooded floors and damaged belongings. The companies response time and and time to act to these incidents was also very poor. Despite my efforts to contact the office, it took several days for the office to respond about the event and then 2 more days to present their plan of action. When i asked why this was taking so long the answer was that they were having so many similar floods that they couldn't handle all of them at once. Their plan of action was to finally bring over a dehumidifier more than a week after the incident! I wont even tell you the chaos of the poor remediation that took place after. Mainly you walk in without proper notice of your place completely trashed and covered in construction dust. I had to reside in an unlivable place for the next several days. They never did finish the work while i was there for the next two weeks. Just lived with a hole in the ceiling and got out quickly before the water soaked carpet started to get too moldy. (BTW, they then tried to charge me $500 for replacing that carpet and immediately sent it to collections rather than trying to contact me.) The amenities promised to tenants were a far cry from what was advertised. the pool heater remained broken for and entire year, rendering it unusable for the majority of the seasons. Mandatory paid services unavailable. BAD!Review from Kate B

I highly do not recommend living at *****************. After trying to contact birge and held several times I have come here to share my experience from one of their properties and employees. Parking is a horrible battle. You will likely be on a 3-4 month waiting list for a parking spot in the garage which will cost more in rent. If you dont have a parking spot, good luck parking. The noise in this apartment is horrendous. Not even the noise outside but unless you are living on the top floor of the complex, youre constantly hearing noise from the people above you, and its very loud. The hallways are always dirty and frequently have dog pee and p*** (one as pictured) that do not get cleaned. It smells horrible. Over the weekends you will probably find throw up and alcoholic drinks that will sit for weeks and not get cleaned up. The dumpsters are frequently overflowing and the trash pick up service daily is convenient but makes the hallways smell horrible. The staff at the complex are extremely unprofessional and rude. Unless you are on ******** favorite list of people, good luck. Youll probably have better luck dealing with people at the bmv than in this office. They are extremely unfair to residents and do not treat residents equally whatsoever. ******** arrogance and egotism seems to run off all of the good staff that are decent and nice people to communicate with like ***. Its honestly not worth the price you pay to live here, living at Aqua or the complex right across the street would be better worth your time and money.Review from Florence M

This apt complex is a joke ! They falsely accused me of owing them money , I had proof from my bank that I dont owe them one ***** , no one from management even bother to call me back after I took all my paper work into the office to show proof, left a message with upper management on their phone that ********** gave me . They sent my information to an attorney , filed into the courts all on False aggregations. They attempted to *** me and had my money in their possession the whole time . They had a date to take possession of their apartment stating that I was being evicted, on their property illegally, and had a date set for damages set as well with the courts , it was all false , a blatant lie . No one from management even considered rectifying the situation with me., I never received a call from any one . After living here for 13 yrsBirge & Held Asset Management, LLC Response

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible dont move into any of these residences. Joke of a company lived with black mold for 8 months told the complex because my fiance is pregnant and they came in and spray painted over it and bleached it ????, so clearly they dont take us serious or our health. The mold came back and got worse and nothing else got done they got us into another apartment after 8 months with black mold, getting sick from it, coughing, fever, chills, and lethargic from this for months, also mold was caused from a leak in the roof that was known. Once moved into the other apartment, guess what, more f****** problems yet again, fridge goes out and havent got a fridge in 18 days, lost 300$ worth of groceries, couldnt save anything so we had to eat out everyday and my fiance is still pregnant, so 300$ worth of groceries and eating out for 18 days due to this is about 1080$ because thats about 60$ a day just to eat out now. Fix your guys problem give me a call me and lets settle this because you guys are a joke and dont take care of tenants, you guys just f*** them over, also the fridge was a known problem too because our neighbor said he had the fridge and told them about it ????????.Review from Yavonda F

We lived in this complex for 5 years when we moved in tub was an an issue they send someone out a year later the man fixed the leaked because some prior maintenance chalked because water was leaking in the behind the tub to our neighbors so that was in 2018 the man that completed the tub said maintaining was suppose to fix around the tub 3 years later another company the maintained supervisor placed a big hole in our dining room wall NEVER came back so to date 2 years later another company never fixed tried speaking to who we thought were owners they said speak to leasing people who wasn't any better. We didn't have air for 4 years prior to is leaving this h*** whole they came to change out our theramatostat and the ameren ue man went to the basement and we had air for the last 2 months before the leasing company said that the owners required us to leave per maintaining worker telling stories on my family and when approached ******** told my granddaughter she was a homeless b**** When my granddaughter was on my lease because she went to high school over there. So whe the company asked me why I was leaving I'm to old for disrespect I pay my rent on time never had issues whe maintainace was rude to my family my tub NEVER GOT FIXED AND NOW SINCE I LEFT THE **** CHASTITY IS CHARGING ME FOR TUB RESURFACING, around a tub how in the h*** yall charge me that because YALL MESSED UP MY TUB then charge me saying I left trash ******* I took pictures before I left AFTERED I moved but when I speak to the leasing office CHASISTY SHE IS VERY RUDE she feels like what she says is right and isn't this is why no one wants to rent.

Our complex has been managed by ***************************** for a couple of years now. World class service is wha their website says and on day turnaround. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of not all of their contractors leave our place (a very nice complex which when built in **** was second to none) a mess, trash, destroyed plantings, gravel, concrete (old and new) all over grass and peking areas. Terrible workmanship. No transparency, difficult if not impossible to contact anyone. 30 something regional that doesnt have a clue about drainage, landscaping, maintenance, etc. They dont seem to have any concerns about liability. Large dad trees and branches hovering over cars, benches,Dangerous balconies, sewage backups, ancient pipes for HVAC being patched instead of replacingThe list goes onBirge & Held Asset Management, LLC Response

Demolished our kitchen and bathrooms while we were still living there. We were not allowed to opt out of the demolition, which was not requested and unnecessary. Demolition lasted 4 days, destroyed our apartment, leaving us with no access to a kitchen or reliable bathroom. Loud, disruptive, and the office managers did not return any calls.Birge & Held Asset Management, LLC Response

Looking over our signed lease, there are no "X" marks in the section referring to internet services. We do not consider internet a "utility'' because it is not a necessity like water or heat/air. We are trying to clarify why we have to pay for this addition, prior to our lease being up, since we never signed for internet services through our leasing agreement.Birge & Held Asset Management, LLC Response
