The Pines Apartments, 1302 Pine Cone Circle Virginia Beach, VA 23456, owned by Great Atlantic Management is unresponsive to maintenance needs and tenant complaints. Concerned citizens may want to avoid The Pines apartments or any other apartments owned by Great Atlantic Management if they will be residing in Hampton Roads. Navy personnel are encouraged to stay away from The Pines especially if they are sea going and their spouse will be residing in Virginia Beach.

A few reasons to avoid The Pines include mice in the apartments and loud noise. The smell is horrible when the mice die and the Pines apartment office does very little to correct obvious health hazards. The maintenance is poor and most fixes are short term in nature even though they would save money and man-hours if they were to make permanent long-term fixes to problems such as water leaks. 

If you do live in The Pines apartments and office personnel do not assist you, try contacting Great Atlantic Management. Unfortunately, their management style is not great so you can be sure they won’t respond. You should contact them though since The Pines employees, including the office manager, work for them.

You should also contact Great Atlantic Management if The Pines apartment maintenance personnel are rude, unresponsive or do not fix the problem you’ve reported. Usually, if you do complain to The Pines office concerning poor or no maintenance, they will say that maintenance does not work for them and they cannot do anything. That is not true. If the office manager does not resolve the issue and the maintenance supervisor does not fix the problem, Great Atlantic Management should. In addition, contrary to what they may believe, the office manager is not the final authority.

Don’t hesitate to contact Virginia Beach City Attorney’s Office to seek assistance in filing a complaint against The Pines apartments. If they can’t help you directly, they may be able to point you in the right direction. Either way, you’ll usually get a response from the Virginia Beach Attorney’s Office – they seem to care.
