To sum it all up into two words for ya....Two-Faced!!!!!

Lincoln Military Housing on Kinkaid Rd, Annapolis, MD 21402 is the absolute worst place to live in Annapolis MD for ALL Military personel! As this review will help you to think twice about where to live and how well your actually going to protect your family from dangerous situations here! This situation is true and has not been altered in any way! I am a military spouce and new mother of three children who currently resides here! We had only been here for a short while when our gas appliances started malfunctioning. One of the private contractors which do the maintenance here was sent out to check our stove and found out that the broiler wasn't working well so he fixed that and another Maintenance man, Mr. Tim saw that we did not have a carbon monoxide detector and installed one for us. He's one of the few good guys there by the way. Anyway, my family came from out of state and one morning the alarm for the carbon monoxide went off and I remembered to open up all of the windows and to get everyone out of the complex. I called the emergency 888 number to Lincoln at your service and I saw their white van pull-up out side and they just pulled off and didn't say a word to me. My children were okay but I wasn't, the EMS took me to the emergency room for carbon monoxide poisoning after five hours of being on pure oxygen and with all the symptoms of poisoning I returned home later-on that afternoon drowsy and on meds. My husband made a serious effort to get to the bottom of this situation in a very professional mannorism and allways kept his cool with me and with Lincoln Annapolis District Office personel and their Toll free personel as well. The fire department didn't find anything at that time and Lincoln Military Housing Maintenance personel who showed up a couple hours after the insident was called in and only stayed for maybe five minutes assesing the situation according to my sister and brother inlaw. So I asked if we could get another detector for upstairs outside our bed rooms. This new detector spoke to you and told you what the problem is and what you should do. So mean-while as new members of the state and community we've experienced neglect, so far. What my husband got in return was a sit down meeting, to put it very nicely, in his commanding officers room! Apparently his commanding officer had a very intrueging crafty one-sided email slandering my husband about this situation. How dissappointed you should have seen the look on my husbands eyes and expressions as he told me that he was orderd not to speak about this situation and that if he had any questions or conserns about it that he was to write them down on a piece of paper and place it on this officers desk and that he might get around to check on it eventually under stacks of paper. I cannot explain that sick feeling I had when I learned about this. A short time later both of the detectors went off and my husband happened to be home and this time we didn't open up windows and were waiting in the car for the fire dept. to show up. This time the fire Chief was here and opened up the locked door to the other gas appliances and found a problem with the furnace and also two huge rolls of carpet leaning against the gas hot water heater which is a big nono! We call maintenance and they sent out a real tech. who replaced a couple of things and we had no problems with dangerous carbon monoxide levels. So this goes to show that what ever you do and where ever you are, you are responsible for your family and their safety. Please don't wait untill something happens because it might be too late. Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer be aware. You don't want to be treated like this if anything happends to you and your family over anything. I hope that this touches your heart and please pray for us that we will find a better place to live! Thanks!
