Meetings held between the managing company and UA Residence Life have produced a standard form for requesting maintenance assistance, Van Arsdel said. We have submitted all of the forms in the same fashion that Eastern Way gets them from all of their other properties. Glenda Lamere, an area supervisor for Eastern Way, contends that their company has not been notified of any problems at the Sky View apartments. We can't fix something if the students don't tell us about it. Sky View resident Stephanie Faust said that she has turned in several requests to fix her garbage disposal which continues to back up into her bathtub.
Nothing works for very long around here.
Van Arsdel said that Lamere's statements were inaccurate and at this point he feels the issue cannot be solved by Residence Life. We may be willing to use some of our own finances to let these students know that we are desperately working to improve the situation. The difference is that we are definitely not getting the same type of quality of living.
