Make the owners and managers live in the complex! Imagine they're expecting people to live in such a situation?! Spiders don't bother me, but to find them in such numbers would.

Brown recluse spider, like most spiders, eat other insects. Any spider infestation usually goes hand in hand with an environment that encourages other insects to live there. The best way to get rid of them is to spray for other insects like roaches and earwigs, and then clean everything and keep it clean. Other than that, keep in mind that recluse spiders have very small fangs and less than half their bites cause any reaction at all because they can't penetrate even the dead skin layers on most people. Children and elderly with thinner skins are most likely to react to a bite.

Has an 'expert' identified these spiders as the notorious Brown Recluse? Could they just be your garden variety of brown spiders?
The brown recluse spider is rarely aggressive, and bites from the species are uncommon. In 2001, more than 2,000 brown recluse spiders were removed from a heavily infested home in Kansas, yet the four residents who had lived there for years were never harmed by the spiders, despite many encounters with them. The spider usually bites only when pressed against the skin, such as when tangled within clothes, towels, bedding, inside work gloves, etc. Many human victims report having been bitten after putting on clothes that had not been worn recently, or had been left for many days undisturbed on the floor. However, the fangs of the brown recluse are so tiny they are unable to penetrate most fabric.
The bite frequently is not felt initially and may not be immediately painful, but it can be serious. The brown recluse bears a potentially deadly hemotoxic venom. Most bites are minor with no necrosis. However, a small number of brown recluse bites do produce severe dermonecrotic lesions (i.e. necrosis); an even smaller number produce severe cutaneous (skin) or viscerocutaneous (systemic) symptoms. In one study of clinically diagnosed brown recluse bites, skin necrosis occurred 37% of the time, while systemic illness occurred 14% of the time.[16] In these cases, the bites produced a range of symptoms common to many members of the Loxosceles genus known as loxoscelism.
