Danum House, DN1

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Danum house is exactly opposite to Frenchgate, city’s vibrant shopping mall. The building is close to almost all restaurants, pubs and shopping places. Close to railway station as well as main bus stop going towards all major cities and neighbourhoods. However the building doesn’t provide parking spaces for its tenants including other extremely unsafe things like no security for the building, even the door security number doesn’t work sometimes, we have homeless people getting inside and creating mess around the place, anti social behavior, there are no bins for the apartments, and I have seen people keeping their trash in the reception of the building which is disgusting.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management hasn’t responded to any of our issues since the time we have resided in this apartment. The thing is except the contact number of the property management that has been put on the notice board, no one knows or has seen who they are

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I knew that the space is so unsafe as homeless people barge into the building and do all kind of things in our space.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is right in the centre of town so plenty of shops/cafes etc in walking distance and links to public transport or car parks for the car. Parking you have to pay for yourself in a local car park and there are a lot of homeless people that manage to get in the apartment building which isn’t ideal at all. However the flats inside are gorgeous.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Efficiently, problems are sorted quickly and there’s great communication

I wish I knew about the homeless people getting inside the building as it can be scary at times.
