Report
Incredibly dishonest business. I rented an apartment on East 5th ST a few years back. It was infested with bedbugs (which the management knew before renting it). They repetitively refused to handle the problem, only sending a phoney inspector with no canine. I had to pay for several actual inspections from my pocket and they still wouldn't handle the problem. I lost an insane amount of money and eventually had to move out, abandoning a lot of stuff for fear of infestation.
Another example of their great management: I came back one evening to find out they had taken away my toilet (sounds crazy I know!) with no notice and no explanation whatsoever - there was just an empty spot left. I couldn't figure out if they were more vicious or incompetent but stay away from that business!

I would give 0 stars if it was possible. No working stove for first 5 months. Deposit only partially returned have been trying to get the rest for months. They keep promising and never send. And the place is old, dirty, worn out and overpriced. (417 East 9th street)

Report
543 E 5th Street is infested with bedbugs. The management company knew of this issue when I moved in, but did not notify me. I usually don't bother to write reviews, but I feel like I should warn other people so they don't make the same costly mistake I did. I had to throw out thousands of dollars worth of new furniture and moved out within two months of moving in. Attempts to address this issue proved futile, as so many of the units are infested, they are impossible to fully eradicate. Additionally, I was there two months and did not receive necessary utilities. Not only is this company amoral, they are in direct violation of so many tenant legal rights and should be sued.

My apartment is freezing (to illegal degrees) and they are not solving the issue. They do minimal work and it takes countless angry emails to get anything done. I love the location of my apartment but am really getting to the end of my rope with the terrible quality of the buildings. EDIT: Glad to hear that you are working to improve! I have not been supplied with an electric heater, so the comment below is incorrect.
I would be SHOCKED if the building was 70 degrees. I have spoken with tenants from three other units who said it's terribly cold for them too. Would love to see proof of the method of monitoring, and perhaps one can be installed in my unit so there is some visibility and clarification around the temp discrepancy between the building and my unit. Will update this review when my windows come in.
