Re: Mold Remediation Nightmare - Dririte, Jacksonville, FL
Posted by Alice on 4/26/10

    I am considering renting one of these units (2/3rd floor townhome floorplan), and
    am very curious about the current situation regarding mold. Has the situation
    improved? Also, is mold prevalent throughout the complex or mostly on the
    bottom/ground floors? And, other than the mold, do you have any pro's/con's to
    mention about Il Villagio?

    I very much appreciate any insights you can provide. I would be moving into Il
    Villagio from out-of-town, without seeing the unit first. Thus, your opinion is
    especially valuable!

    If you prefer communicating with me privately, please email: Alicein007@yahoo.com

    Many thanks!!!
