I am hoping that this would save with zero stars, but no luck.
The building I lived in was sold to Creative Capital Group. I should have guessed from the beginning that it was going to be a problem, despite my hopes for better management.
I had already sent in and had my check cashed for rent by the former property management when I got a knock on the door from the superintendent saying the building had been sold, and to send my rent to them. This wasn't really my problem - they needed to get the rent from them. I followed up with them stating this fact, they said not to worry. Fast forward to the next month, and they said I am in arrears on the email notice (the only one I ever received for the rest of my time I stayed here). I said that I had all the backup documents saying it was fine. They removed that arrears.
However, they said that each month we would get an EMAIL statement to pay. This never happened after that first month. I paid my rent way before 1st each month, by check via regular mail, using an old statement and crossing out the rent date. Luckily, they did email me a copy of a receipt back. Their office hours are not hardly doable if you have a regular job and don't live in or near Irvington.
When they took over the building, they removed the dumpster for trash, and squirrels, rats and mice started to appear in the parking lot. The poor superintendent had to take the garbage to the curb each trash day. They also got rid of the washing machines and dryers without any notice, and maintenance of the common areas went downhill. I hope the superintendent is earning more money because he deserves it.
When I moved out, it took more than a month to get my security deposit back. I called asking for information on it, and the person was very rude, although I did not say anything rude to her.
That's a shame, because I work for a place that places people in rentals, usually paid in advance by larger corporations, and I've advised them to never place anyone in apartments owned by Creative Capital Group. They seem like they don't really care about the apartments or the tenants, which is a shady way to do business. read more
