The WORST building for disabled and elderly people in Portland. Do NOT move in there if you have any other option at all. In the building I live in now, there are five people who moved here from Longfellow Commons and we call ourselves \"refugees\" from LC. It is THAT bad.First, heat is not included and it is electric heating, which costs a FORTUNE. Expect to pay $125 to $225 a month for heat in the winter, depending on the temperature and the size of your apartment. The apartments are freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer because the windows are so old.The laundry machines are always broken. They had people come to replace the threadbare hallway carpeting four years ago, but they quit in the middle of the job and its never been finished, resulting in hallway carpeting that is half decent and then abruptly turns old and shabby halfway down the halls.Bedbugs are common in the building and management never does a thorough job of getting rid of them, so they keep coming back. They are supposed to do regular inspections but dont bother doing half the apartments.Apartments on the basement floor flood when it rains, get no TV reception and STINK because the garbage room is down there and is kept locked so residents just pile garbage in the hallway outside it.The managers are completely unqualified to be running a building: the \"resident coordinator\" (Jennifer Laflin) in particular is uneducated, lazy and a bully, but they keep her because they literally couldnt get anyone else to stay in her position more than a few months and no one else will hire her, so she will stay.Residents who are Democrats have been ordered by Jennifer not to discuss politics in the Community Room because shes a Trump supporter (but she has no problem demanding that residents listen to her RACIST speech - she wants Muslims and immigrants out of the country - and hateful political views at length). She tells residents she is \"sick of paying\" for their disability, Social Security and health care through her taxes, calls them nasty names and worse. She gossips and tells residents private and very personal information to other residents.Jennifer once actually took all of the residents PERSONAL files (with all of their private medical information, bank account and financial information, etc.) and piled them on the table in the Community Room where residents gather, then went home for the night and left the door to the room open so anyone at all could sit down and read everyone elses private medical history and access their bank accounts. Residents took photos and then got together to write a letter to Weston Management about it, but she got wind and called people into her office one by one, threatening to make them \"homeless\" by evicting them if they signed the letter, terrifying people so much the letter was never sent.When things break in apartments, they dont get fixed because maintenance reports are never filed by management. When people come to management with concerns, managers are rude, dismissive and abusive. Managers have been known to close the Community Room to residents for months so theres nowhere to gather, yet theyll use it themselves while its closed as a private TV room to watch their soap operas and game shows during the day when they are supposed to be working.It is pointless to contact the managers supervisors at Weston; they only want to collect money and will do nothing at all to correct problems.In short, DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING. They have open and available apartments much more frequently than any other Portland building so you might be tempted, but thats because people move out at a rapid rate because the building and its manager are so terrible.
