Residents at Detroit luxury apartment complex frustrated over growing maintenance concerns

Tenants at a luxury apartment complex on Detroit’s east side say they’ve dealt with broken elevators, inoperable entrance gates and a growing backlog of maintenance requests for weeks — prompting city inspectors to step in. Residents at Orleans Landing, located near the Detroit River, reached out with concerns about ongoing issues at the property. The complaints included elevators being out of service for an extended period, security gates left open or not working, and a lack of communication from management. “It’s very frustrating. I’ve been here since February, and it’s just been stacking up and stacking up,” one tenant explained.
