AVALON at Chestnut Hill MASS AVALON at Chestnut Hill 160 Boylston street chestnut hill, ma 02467 US http://www.avaloncommunities.com/avaloncore/nfloor.asp?comm=288 On jan 16 th at aproximately 10 am , Sprinkler system above our second floor apartment burst. Three floors in a row were flooded and totaled. Ceilings were taken down , walls and floors. The sprinkler PIPE that burst was not properly insulated or heated, causing it to burst sending a waterfall from the third floor down to the garage. All tenants had to evacuated from the three floors . The company says it is not responsible for any damages. ALL my things without exception were damaged. My renters insurance is not enough to cover it. The company claims their lease clearly states that they are not responsible for damages to renters property in Matters of flood. BUT this is not a matter of 'flood' but a matter of gross negligence - be it engineering fault or the fault of the management company to properly heat the PIPES containing wet water sprinkler systems. LOSS: aside from the total damage suffered we were put into a smaller apartment " for the time being". We have 2 more people moving with us in 5 days , a small child and an elderly lady who we have NO WHERE to put. We lost 3 days of work moving in and out, and so far we have heard nothing from the management company and the owners about any kind of compensation coming from their end. Renters insurance IS not supposed to be the one covering loss due to gross negligence and total mismanagement that caused this disaster. Moreover the apartment they moved us into had a small leak the very next day from what they called a faulty gutter above us.
