This company will do whatever they can to scam you for every penny whole providing inadequate services and the lowest possible standard for their staff. Our building manager was rude and inattentive. There were not enough trash bins for the residents and trash piled up each week. This is just one of many examples. Avoid at all costs. Predatory landlords who will scam you out of your deposit.

I can only speak about one building that I lived in. I was a tenant at 1725 Van Ness Ave (2019-2021) and moved out a couple months ago. It's a shame because this could be a beautiful building but sadly the landlord does nothing to maintain it. Hallway carpets are faded and badly stained. Maintenance problems are not addressed unless it's an emergency. The elevator is extremely difficult to operate because it has an iron gate and a weighted door--if you're carrying packages or have a bike or grocery cart--just forget it. Unfortunately, original tenants are still permitted to smoke so the hallways wreak of cigar smoke to throw out trash you must make your way down a long ladder-like set of wooden stairs and prey you don't fall.
There have been numerous burglaries which makes it unsafe -friend told me many packages have recently been stolen. But the worst part IMHO is that you can hear everything.any time your neighbor walks around, when they sneeze.there's no way you could have any speakers etc because the walls are paper thin.

I don't know if these are the managers or owners of park meadows apartments over in Rohnert Park. CA, but if you are, I have a whole list of complaints waiting at your door. Its disgusting to see how many 1 star reviews you have on most of properties. steer clear from any properties they own. If you care even one bit about customer care, please remove the mangers Kathy and her husband over at park meadows as mangers for the better of your apartments

Extremely rude customer service from agent Tatiana Kyriakides. When she asked me if I had any questions and I asked my questions, she would start every response "As listed in the ad.". I'm looking at many properties, while your job is to help find a tenant, and speaking to people in this condescending tone is not helping you do your job in the slightest. I was open to looking at the apartment but after the conversation, and reading the horrible reviews across Facebook and Yelp I wouldn't even consider going even to see the place. I see other reviews are saying the same thing about her, the fact that she's still employed with this place after all the complaints is a red flag about the entire management group.

They will sent slumlord Jay Lieberman to try and force you out if on rent control. Hiring felons off the street to be his onsite henchscum - who will physically attack you as well as him getting other tenants to try and kick your door in. This is the most degenerate management group in SF having this dangerous individual refuse all repairs for last 10 years only fixing when FORCED to by building inspector. Just look up ALL the cases. If you represent this group in any way you are just as responsible for this slumlords actions and will be held accountable.

WORST management company ever - I suppose they are "proud" of their 1 star rating because they don't even deserve that. The intermittent "good reports" must be ringers or paid reviewers. Please read the zillion BAD reports of their horrific mode of operation. Unprofessional, Non communicative, Unresponsive for days. I am contacting the Better Business Bureau and the FBI to report them for totally fraudulent and unscrupulous actions.
They told me it was first come, first serve, and to pay the credit check application fee to be approved through "Intellirent" - perhaps also fraudulent. They kept me waiting 5 days, while I had other apartments on hold, saying the application was processing and they only needed "one more item to clear". Finally, day 5, when I phoned I was informed the apartment had been rented to someone else and "Oh, did I want to rent another apartment for 200 dollars more?" (which I wouldn't income qualify for).
These are cold hearted, thieves no doubt. I should have looked at ALL their negative reviews before wasting money on a credit check. I'm a retired teacher with excellent credit. They are CRIMINALS!
