AVA Ballard

These good reviews are fake. Ava Ballard is not safe, Had an attempted break in on the first night moved in, a tenant lives on the same floor (2nd floor) attempted to break into my apt from the balcony. Many tenants reached out to me told me it’s been an ongoing safety concern in the building. That tenant patrols around and corners other tenants to ask their unit number and knows which one is empty and who lives in which unit. I stayed in unit 212 and the previous tenant had to move out for the similar but not as severe safety issue. (He was outside of unit 212 acting weird but didn’t try to break in. the previous tenant moved out before break in happened.) After the scary attempted break in, the apt did nothing to prevent it from happening again. That tenant still lives in the building. Response from the management: “He didn’t break in, you didn’t get hurt, so it didn’t hit threshold for safety concern.” They didn’t try to transfer me to another unit, temporarily or long term. Didn’t offer to have extra security and have any measurements for security. Give me only option to move out and promised I’ll be refunded (>$3400) quickly as it’s only 3 days stay. I moved out (as in 3 days after I moved in) on 5th Dec, today is 20th Dec, and I haven’t had my move out statement, they still didn’t reply my email and update me my refund status. Do not trust the google review, they put 3 more good reviews after I left this review. Good reviews are fake. Ava Ballard has huge safety issue, stay away from them. Especially unit 212 or second floor.

Today, the maintenance guy Thomas took care of a faulty light in the bathroom of my studio apartment while I was at work. Now, I can shower and use the toilet without some annoying flickering light. He deserves a bonus in pay due to his swift and efficient handling of that issue. Plus, there was the time he called my cell phone to help me find it when I misplaced it in my apartment before my job. No matter what issue related to my apartment I've had, he's always been able to reliably be of help and I am grateful to him for that. 7/13/23 My drain in my bathroom sink was clogged, but thankfully the maintenance took care of it in a swift and efficient manner. Thanks for Thomas the best maintenance person an apartment building could ask for! 12/7/23 the drain in my shower was clogged, but now it is working properly after the maintenance took care of it. I put in the request for it to be fixed one day in the very next I found it handled without any delays whatsoever. Just another solid example of the quality care you get as a tenant in this apartment building.
