They are ruining our apartments...

The contractors are ruining our apartments. Instead of hiding the new sprinkler system above the ceilings... They are running these big pipes all around the perimeters of our walls near the ceiling, and leaving them exposed.
It is going to make it look like we are living in a warehouse storage unit. Management knows about it, and are trying to speak to the contractors about adding a boxed covering, so it will look like a ledge. The contractors are complaining it would be too costly.
They are suppose to be making out places look better. I guarantee you that if we were in Ponte Vedra Beach and/or Nocatee...they wouldn't dare do this...
Residents are really upset. I imagine if they can't persuade the contractors to fix the issue..."sh__" is going to hit the fan, and management will not have peace until they get someone in here to fix it.
When I first saw it, I literally cried. It was horrible. No one...including the staff is happy about what they are doing.

Makes me wonder if they know what they're doing. Because contractors work for those who hired them. It's not their place to make design decisions (or lack thereof) on their own. Now if a contractor advises a client of a cost, that's one thing... but at the end of the day you do what your client asks you.

Exactly... I am hoping things can be worked out. Or they will have hundreds of calls complaining until they fix it...

@teresatrotter If the landloards are aware, and also agree changes need to be made, they'll be on it. Sounds like a cool place to live, otherwise.

Ugh. Sorry that is happening to your apartments out there. At our old apartment, they oddly ran some black pipes of a few sizes around the outside of the building - looked very industrial - or like a monster with long legs was swallowing up the building. I think it was done to cut the costs.

Doing it on the outside is bad enough. But to have each individual apartment like this... Is just plan ludicrous...

Material costs have gone way up in the last year but this sounds awful. I would hate to be invaded like that.
