    This definitely does not sound like the maintenance supervisor at laurel ridge. He is a very nice man who is not known for yelling at residents. It sounds more like the property manager who has final authority in terms of which of the more costly repairs do or (mostly) don't get done. Btw, we all buy our own ac units, so if your grandmother's apt is 80 degrees, it's time for her to buy a new unit. Is she using the correct btus for the space? She needs one wall unit -- min 10,000 btus -- better 12,000 btus, best 14,000 btus. If she originally bought too small a unit (i. E. , less than 10,000 btus) it has to work harder and will wear out sooner.

    Very beautiful facility but very poor service! Maintenance failed to replace any requested equipment that he promised years ago, he yelled at my grandmother in law for touching the thermostat when he failed to fully explain it to her and fix her situation. The air conditioning won't turn on at all and he claims that "it isn't broken" where as her apartment is 80° right now and the air isn't turn on at all! If anything, please save your money!
