Henry Hammacher, while I realize this is a new job for you, it may be worth your while to brush up on your customer service a bit. Coming out of left field with a haymaker and a misunderstanding of what really happened in the situation is hardly a good approach. I'd give zero stars if I could. Will not recommend, and this lack of recommendation to my colleages coming into the community is going to sting a bit.

It could be power tools all day above your head or ripping up carpet and floor in the next door unit. (Wanna gamble?) They've also been known to kick out tenants who complain or get in the way of their so called renovations and maintenance. Do yourself a favor and don't consider this place.

Here is my nightmare of renting with this company: Starting out was okay, we knew it wasn't the best place since the floors had sunken in a few spots and everything was coated a thick eggshell white, but we were desperate for a place to live. Soon after moving in, we began to notice some greater issues: inadequate heat that guzzled gas and electricity, ants like no one has ever seen before, water shared with the neighbor that likely wasn't being used with courtesy, and a constant sewer smell. We filed maintenance requests for all of these to which they would send someone out to 'inspect' the issue and there'd be no resolution. It was just the state of the property. Then there was the 'incident'. Our shower began to shock us while in use. We thought we were crazy to start. But then it got to the point where I lost feeling in my arm from trying to shut the water off. So we submitted a maintenance request and they sent out a team that was there the entire day and couldn't find a resolution. They sent out a new electrician who couldn't figure out the solution. We began to request some sort of accommodation since there was no shower in our unit. They agreed to a per diem discount off the rent for each day we were unable to use the shower. They also agreed to a reimbursement of the previous month rent. They never did. Ultimately, they offered us a way out: break the lease agreement at no penalty to us. It was great except we were mid-semester and didn't know where to go. I share this for two reasons: 1) learn from my mistakes and always consult your renter's insurance. I was overwhelmed and a dumb college student that was just trying to survive my classes. Rely on your insurance. 2) Do not allow property management companies to try and take advantage of you. Recognize that they are a business that at the end of the day, only wants to make money. They do not care for your well-being. Try Strombeck properties or a private landowner for your next rental.

Dan himself is the problem. He bullies the victims of his staff instead of taking responsibility…read morefor the actions of his hired staff. His loyalty is misplaced. He owes that loyalty to his tenants. And I agree with Lucille, his business decisions are irresponsible. He leaves properties with dangerous public health violations, like illegally insufficient garbage collection, poor drainage creating toddler drowning hazards, rats, toxic mold, and charges the victims of burglaries for the upgrades in security that he is contractually responsible for. Also, he builds rental properties in places that are not safe. The Courtyard apartments are hit by toxic clouds of gas from the nearby asphalt industry and there are toxic fumes from the diesel trucks on the highway. Low income families who need subsidized housing end up raising kids where they will get sick because of the location chosen by Danco, based on what would be cheapest for them. Additionally, they cut corners on construction, failing to leave dead air space between the floor of the upstairs apartments and the ceiling of the downstairs apartments. This means the downstairs neighbors are living inside of a drum, and the upstairs neighbors are blamed for noise levels that are in no way their fault (like simply walking). Huge feuds result. Furthermore, there is insufficient preparation for a massive earthquake or similar disaster planning. Attempts by tenants to organize water barrel storage for each family are thwarted, as Danco doesn't want to allow families to have emergency stores of water, claiming that it would require them to upgrade their insurance even if tenants paid the cost of the water to fill the barrels. I think that's an immoral decision to condemn low income families to death in case of a disaster, in order to save on insurance, or to avoid having the hassle of applying for a state grant to buy water barrels that no child could fall into because of how they are constructed. Additionally, on site managers are often not screened for IQ, skill, sociopathy, bigotry, or other factors that make them incompetent to do the job they are hired for. Violent tenants that should be evicted are allowed to stay even after they have harmed their first victims, meaning that they are emboldened to commit further violence. Finally, the companies hired to maintain the landscaping prioritize their own convenience over the health, safety, food production, and beauty of the landscaping. They butcher the trees so that their will be less fallen fruit for them to pick up, even if it makes the trees ugly and tiny, and ruins the view from the apartments, as well as the capacity to shield the tenants from toxic fumes. The landscapers are utterly apathetic about that when it is explained to them. They mow the grass more often than it needs because that is easy money for the landscapers, but they don't pick up the trash and dog poop that really needs cleaning up. Danco should not tolerate subcontractors who mistreat the tenants or do such a bad job because it is easier than working harder on what serves the tenants. Fruit trees were donated in order to serve the low income tenants, and they should not be treated like a nuisance, just because they drop fruit on the soil where there is no walkway anyhow. They should be respected and cared for by people who care about the health of the trees and the preferences of the tenants for air quality, beauty, and free fruit. The painting subcontractor was hired because he is an old friend of one of the Danco managers; the subcontractor forced a lower paint quality and bad color choice based on what he had in surplus, regardless of what had been planned and agreed upon. The degree to which bad decisions are made because a bad contractor gets hired as an old friend of someone at Danco, and not because they were the best choice financially or ethically, is part of the mechanism of rot that degrades Danco from the inside out.
