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.

Russ is a MASTER of his craft. Finding a real craftsman who can truly work with you on custom…read moreprojects is RARE. For our main stairwell, we needed to build a closed stringer, custom railing, newel post, stair treads to match existing floors, and trim work. He was the ONLY person willing to custom build the newel post to the exact dimension and style I wanted and actually sat with me and drew it out exactly. Every other bidder told me my only option was to choose from a catalog, but Russ fashioned it from scratch! This convinced me he was the one to hire for ANY CUSTOM WOODWORK. Russ brought my vision to life by closing the stringer and building a clean and simplified trim. He worked with me on the stain for both railing and stair treads and did not give up until we were both satisfied. Matching the stain and matter finish of our floors was a major accomplishment in and of itself. For anything involving woodwork, Russ is your guy!

They handled those precious 90+ year old boards professionally as they relocated all the fixtures, drains, piping, ducting, and electrical outlets and replaced the redwood in perfect condition. Knowing our bathroom Is rot, mold and pest free is a great piece of mind. The crew leader gave us great resources and information about purchasing fixtures and materials that fit our desires Not only did they transform our indoor space so delightfully, they also replaced our old Orangeberg sewer line, and installed an on demand whole house hot water heater. All the employees were professional, respectful, friendly and hard working. They were all very welcome in our home and were considerate of our space, time and needs. Their estimates were accurate and very competitive. If/when we need help from a plumber, (we do have 90+ yr old plumbing in the rest of the house) they will continue to get our business.
