Reaching this point has been a long and draining road but seeing the momentum grow keeps me going. It is clear that I am not the only one exhausted by these safety concerns at Wood Creek. We are far from the finish line but knowing there is a real collective effort behind this gives me the strength to keep pushing.

Agree with all issues; for what we pay its important to feel safe in this community... Cameras help a lot, maybe a neighborhood watch program. Talk to one another, meet your neighbors and look out for each other. Garage updates would be good as well as front door reinforcements w/o raising rents. 24/7 security is also helpful.
I would like to add the following: Refit all outside fluorescent light fixtures with LED lamps. Refit parking lot lighting with LED kits. Install LED spot lights on all four corners of buildings. Replace none working lighting fixtures on several buildings. I agreed with the petition with regard replacing garage doors with sliding doors as the current garage doors can be easily open with a butter or Pen knife.
In the past, we had been concerned with security and contacted Wood Creek staff only to be told to take care of it at our own expense, which we did. Since the recent "forced entry" break-ins" we asked for and received improved door locks. We agree strongly with the petition requests and ask they be implemented in a realistic, timely manner.
I love living here, but scared that someone will come through our front door even with lock on. With the rent we pay I shouldn't even think about this.
Please make it safer for me and my boyfriend at woodcreek apts. we work in restaurant industry so we tend to get home when it is prime time for getting robbed/car jacked/beat up. Would love to feel safe when I get home. We feel we pay too much in rent to be worried about break ins.
We lived at Wood Creek in late 2014 and early 2015. It was a horrible experience. I think the unit had horrendous mold from all the water leaks. Our dog and I suffered repiratory and ear infections the entire time we lived there. Our upstairs neighbor was a thug who threatened my wife because we complained aout him playing drums and having parties late into the night. He was supposed to be a caretaker for a disabled adult, but we suspected he was abusing the boy he was assigned to protect. He threatened the office staff and should have been arrested for the crap he pulled. The office only did something because we were on their case. The "remodel" is a joke and the flooring in the downstairs unit was cheap vynl on cement. We got a remodeled unit that had not been cleaned or painted when we moved in. We had to clean the unit to even live in it. The apartment was freezing and we could not walk around barefoot. The rent is outrageously high, the maintenance is appalling, and the manager is rarely there. The water bill was really high every month and I think the residents are payng for the water the complex uses to maintain the landscaping and rancid ponds. I hope you get legal relief from these crooks.
The head office for Wood Creek (Equity Residential) is not different from our local office; their website crashes when trying to leave a comment. The problems at Wood Creek are inherited from the parent company: They just don't care about anything but your rent money. Good luck with this petition, the office already told me they'll ignore it.

I agree with all of the proposed ideas. #2 is going to be tough to get them to follow through with, that is a huge expense. Although, not only would they be more secure, but the newer garage doors would improve aesthetics, and would make the whole community look a bit more modern. #1 and #3 are no brainers.
