The Envoy Apartments

I moved here from Texas, I picked these apartments because of it being centrally located and the manager’s strive to find me the perfect apartment that best fit my needs. The manager made it easy to get my paperwork from out of town and had everything ready for me the day I arrived in St. Louis. He is never hard to get in touch with and is very upfront. I am 8 months in to my lease and I am very satisfied with my decision to live here. I will be renewing my lease in 2 – 3 months when it is up. Thank you Envoy Apartments!

If you care about the health of your loved ones and your own, do not rent an apartment from the envoy or ANY place being ran by the Michelson Organization. This place has mold, mildew, fire hazards, outdated plumbing/​electric, leaking sewage, flooding problems in the basement, disgusting smells, and a whole staff of unqualified people who are trained to belittle you and make you feel dumb for reporting any problems. I left several pictures on this site and ask you let others know to watch out for these people.
When we first signed the lease, we were promised all of the windows and hallways were going to be renovated within a couple of months after our move into the building. When we emailed the Michelson Organization to ask why the windows were not being changed, they confirmed they did indeed make that promise but couldn’t simply work it into the budget this year. Our windows flooded out during rain storms and the Michelson organization still refused to do anything. I even uploaded a video of water flooding our apartment onto youtube just so people can see the kind of slime the Michelson organization really is. Just search «The Envoy Michelson Organization 8701 Delmar» on youtube to see the video.
Also, our plumbing was out on one of the bathrooms for almost 6 months due to their carelessness. As soon as we called to complain and informed them it’s been long enough, Todd the maintenance guy came up to our door and continually rang the door bell for a couple of minutes until one of us answered. He’s constantly putting the tenants on the defense with his passive aggressive Michelson training and never ONCE completed a job properly. For two years we just put up with this guy and allowed him to bully us in our own home until it was time for us to leave. Todd then made it difficult for us to move out and did everything he could to let us know he was glad we were leaving.
And if that weren’t enough, The Michelson Organization allows smoking in the building and do nothing to regulate it. I had to breathe second hand smoke from my neighbor for two years thanks to the fact the Michelson Organization was unwilling to change the rules. There are a lot of elderly people in the building and these slum lords simply do not care.
The laundry facility has a main sewer line along the washing machines and it has some serious leaks. I’ve come home several times to the sewer pipes bursting and there being urine and fecal matter running down the walls and onto the washing machines. I’ve even walked by the laundry area, smelled urine, made a comment to one of the tenants, and the next day an air freshener magically appeared in the exact area where I complained about the smell to another tenant. My guess is this had to do with the fact I was right in front of the maintenance office when I made the very loud comment to another tenant, and Todd did what he does best. Throw a Band-​Aid on it then disappear for hours until it was time to go home.
