Forward Management Pittsburgh Will Not Schedule Exterminator Or Return Calls

I called the Forward Management,LLC Pittsburgh [again] today at around 4pm, but no one answered the phone. I left a message requesting that an exterminator be scheduled to treat our apartment. Also, no one has called me, as I was told I would be when I called on Monday.

This Forward Management apartment has a flea bug infestation, and no one will schedule an exterminator, much less return my calls.

Forward Management Is Nonresponsive About Bug Infestation

Review the Forward Management Pittsburgh 'bugs' label for the full story.

I called Forward Management, LLC Pittsburgh today about the flea infestation [again]. The woman who answered manages the Brentwood apartments, so she said she would get Tina (who is the leasing manager for the Pittsburgh apartments) to call me back.

[Edit 10/27/12: No one has returned my call about the bug infestation at this Forward Management apartment building yet. How long does it take to schedule an exterminator?!]

Here's some more new bug bites from yesterday in my Forward Management Pittsburgh apartment. It seems if you wear socks over your pants, then the fleas start biting your torso. I'm betting the bugs are coming from another apartment (I know the upstairs neighbor has several cats). I don't think the pet policy requires cats to be treated for fleas. So, this could end up being a repeat infestation.

I just don't know why Forward Management won't just schedule an exterminator.

Called Forward Management w Maintenance Requests, Waiting

A quick review of how long it takes Forward Management Pittsburgh to respond to a fairly important maintenance call:

I called Forward Management Pittsburgh (412-885-1094) at 10:47 am on October 1st to have the water damage above the shower painted and to have them change the locks on the apartment.

[Edit 10/8/12: No one has called to schedule the lock change yet, and the bathroom wall is still water damaged. Called again at 1:45pm.]

[Edit 10/16/12: I called Forward Management Pittsburgh again at 1:20pm today to report that the lock change has still not happened.]

[Edit 10/17/12: A maintenance guy stopped by today and installed new locks and plastered/painted the water-damaged bathroom wall. It only took three weeks and three phone calls to Forward Management Pittsburgh. Three weeks!]

Called Landlord Today, 11:28am

Called Forward Management today and submitted another maintenance request to the Forward Management [landlord's] secretary. 1/20/10 11:28am.

Explained to Forward Management that this is the 5th time I am calling and that the past 4 times the repairs have only been cosmetic. Painting my ceiling isn't going to fix the leak. Replacing the dry wall isn't going to fix the leak.
