The Pines of Green Run Apartments Virginia Beach
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.

i know what your talking about i live in a great atlantic apartment and its bad and they wont fix anything and my cealings are caveing in i event went to the great atlantic office and nothing i dont know what to do myself
I’m married with 3 children, We rent our home, which when we first moved in, was great, then we found out our landlord cancelled the pest control service, now we are infested with spiders, cock roaches and water bugs. We have spoken to them on countless occasions and they said to bomb, we did, Nothing. Absolutely nothing, everyone in my home is staying sick for one reason or another and I was told it was the bugs, there every where, in our cloths, our bedding, closets, you name it and there there. I have tried to find out if there was anything legally we could do, I can’t find any answers. This sucks.
What may help in thesse situations is on the first of the month send them a letter detailing the problems that are going on and that thesse issues affect the health and safety of you and your family. Give them until the 21st of the month to correct the issues. Make sure that you send these letters certified mail with return receipt.
If problems are not corrected by the 22nd of the month send them a second notice stating that the problems have not been corrected and that you intend on putting their monthly rent into escrow at the local courthouse. I speak from experience and this does work. Once the money is put into escrow then great atlantic has to prove to the court that the problems have been corrected.
Also it helps to have a written log of when and who you talked to about your problems and pictures to show to the court. This does work very well. If enough people/tenants get together then a message will be conveyed. Also if you have things like rodents you can request in the letter to be placed in another apartment or hotel until the problem is corrected at the expense of the great atlantic.
