Report
They tested the systems in my apartment and I get they are trying to keep us safe, but we are in the middle of a pandemic, so I, like many others, am working from home. The alarms have been going off for an extraordinarily long time and I am in meetings all day with clients and was given almost no notice (apartments fault) so was not able to rearrange meetings. I have looked on the internet and found out that this is unacceptable. The alarms shouldnt be going off for 10 minutes + straight.

I have worked with AFS for many years through the Houston Apartment Association. Their customer service, attentiveness and overall performance has always exceeded my expectations whether it has been a scheduled inspection/service or an emergency repair needing immediate attention.

Was assaulted by one the companies employees this morning on i10 have a picture of this employee wearing company shirt.I have filled a police report and have a active case open. This individual should not have any opportunity to work for a company that has standards. I have both video and pics of this encounter prior during and after the assault that showed we had zero cause to be assaulted or to experience road rage from a company employee
