My partner and I were approved for a unit after viewing three properties by this management! While…read more2 Lofts was shown in terrible condition (with bugs, old food, and stains still in place), we proceeded with applying for the cleanest unit which was even more of a red flag because for this unit they said someone was already suppose to pick up the key but she ghosted them! A week later Franny called with an approval and we also received an email confirmation. I mentioned I would be applying for Homeless Assistance through Contra Costa County, and they were obviously depending on it more than myself. This was my first time navigating permanent assistance, so I had questions. I asked if it was possible to separate the lease, I was informed the next day by Franny after checking with her broker they can't proceed with that & I was ok with that, as they still proceeded to go through with everything relying on the permanent assistance! Eventually, I found out the county was able to proceed with both of us on the lease, which was even better! Unfortunately, due to delays with my caseworker which I made a complaint on while trying to reach her for a week which I feel she was ignoring me on purpose because my case was switching to Alameda County July 1st which I just think she didn't want to do any paperwork for my assistance! After finding out I was denied assistance due to accepting a new job with the City of Oakland, my offer letter wasn't good enough & they wanted paystubs even though my worker told me I can. I told them it takes at least 3 weeks for the process & was waiting for my employee Id number Proof wasn't enough, unfortunately they wont pay more than 80% of your income. The moment Franny found out the county couldn't pay, she ghosted me. I emailed Franny the same day I was denied no response so I called the next day. Still, I offered to pay the entire deposit and rent out of pocket for the unit to the property management and even let them know I could bring the full payment the same or next day & move in on the 7th no later than the 15th! My partner makes 3.5-4x the rent, and I have additional self-employment income. Eventually, I was told they weren't moving forward with my application I was ultimately told the owner didn't want to deal with it I truly didn't understand and the reasons kept changing First, it was because originally planned to move in on the first Then, it was the "inconveniences with the county" (even though I was pushing the process myself) Then it was allegedly "fraud" because I asked about separating leases, which was an honest question, not a demand although after they still proceeded to ask and move forward with me! She said it seemed as if I was unreliable! Like huh? Then after I mentioned a fair housing complaint Franny stated the county thinks something is up with you too" A completely inappropriate comment that made me wonder if my confidential information was being shared improperly or if I was being retaliated against. I never received a written notice explaining why we were denied, even after asking twice. This experience delayed my family by two critical weeks, and based on how it unfolded, I strongly suspect source of income discrimination. We were transparent, financially qualified, ready to pay, and had solid rental history but none of it mattered at this point after they realized the county wouldn't be footing the bill. Which makes me realize I don't think they even did any job/ or rental history verifications! If you're a working person trying to get stable housing or using assistance in any way, be cautious. Based on my research, this is not a unique experience. It's common for people using public assistance to be treated as less-than even when they're offering to pay everything themselves. I'm filing a formal complaint with Fair Housing, and I'll continue to speak up not just for myself but for anyone who's ever been quietly discriminated against and made to feel like they are the problem. We deserve better.

While I worked with Olivia, she was very attentive in showing properties to us that fit what we were looking for. She made it very easy to make a decision and was accommodating to our schedules and needs. After move in, she was easy to get a hold of in regards to issues on the property that needed to be resolved. She always responded within a few hours (if not within that hour that I reached out to her) which is not the experience that I am having with the new company, unfortunately. I recommend working with Olivia to anyone looking for a rental in the Oakland/East Bay area.

Which, it is in 1 month, 1 week and I have not heard a single word from the company in regards to renewing or terminating. So, that's comforting. In the past 2 years this building has had more planned and emergency water shutoffs than I can count or be convinced is acceptable. I get that it's an old building but just use the exorbitant rent you're charging me and fix it already. It's not that hard. After one of the "fixes," they left a blue-tarp pile of trash and pipes on the front lawn for well over 6 months before finally taking it away one day. What a historical beauty to look at every day. Updated old entry system with great security features (could see who was at the door and remotely open, consistent app entry) to a terrible new one (have to pay to subscribe to an app to have any features of the old one, had ALL calls from every resident for the first few months). No assistance from building manager when requested help. We've gone through so many property managers, and I have never received a response from a single one on an issue, question, or repair I've had or needed. My dishwasher is broken, hot water does not get hot, and new entry system doesn't work. But that's totally fine, I don't need answers or assistance from the building I PAY $5.56/SQ FT FOR. SUMMARY - shitty building, no assistance from property manager or AI assistant, overpriced "historical" slop. Extra star for location to downtown Alameda.

Communication has been the biggest issue. Getting a response to emails or calls routinely takes days, and often I've had to follow up two or three times before getting any reply at all. Important updates about my property -- repair schedules, tenant issues, inspection results -- are rarely communicated proactively. I typically find out about problems only after they've escalated, and I'm left chasing basic information that should be provided as a matter of course. On top of that, the fees charged for repairs have been consistently inflated. Invoices come through with little to no itemization, making it impossible to tell whether the labor and materials charged actually reflect the work done. When I've asked for breakdowns or quotes before work is authorized, I've either been ignored or given vague justifications after the fact. More than once, charges for simple repairs have come in well above what comparable local contractors would charge for the same job. Between the lack of communication and the repair markups, I've lost confidence that this company is managing my property in my best interest. If you're evaluating a property manager, I'd urge you to ask upfront about how repair costs are itemized and approved, and to get a clear commitment on response times before signing anything. I have since moved on and work with another Management company a more professionally run company.

SLUMLORD. Would give zero stars if possible…read more From the moment I moved into that apartment I realized I was in a slumlord situation. When I arrived on January 19th there was no working heat and it was in the 40s at night. I was provided with a very small space heater by the "property manager" (that term feels like a big stretch) and I was absolutely freezing all night. The only reason I didn't go to a hotel was because I had just driven for 5 days straight and was literally too exhausted. Additionally, the apartment was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY (I have photos to back this up). The apartment was vacant for months so it is unclear how they did not have time to check the heat or do a basic cleaning. When I complained, Pedram gave me a credit of like $70 for both those issues which is wild as a cleaning service and a hotel stay would easily total $500. Pathetic. I knew I was in for some bullsh*t based on this. From this point on, every time something broke or needed to be fixed, and there were a lot of things that were broken UPON MOVE IN (again, this place was empty and could have been repaired beforehand), Pedram ignored my service requests in the app and my emails. I fixed things with my own time and energy and had to hound him to be reimbursed for the supplies. The whole point of renting is so that I don't have to fix things. I literally had to have a friend fix my leaking kitchen sink because the person who "fixed" it initially didn't actually fix it and Pedram would not respond to my emails at all. I begged him for help. In addition to my actual unit being terrible, the general condition of the property was abhorrent. Overgrown weeds and bushes, filthy walkways that haven't been power washed in years, garbage all over the alley where the bins are, etc. It looked totally ghetto and therefore, people treated it as such. Also, we were told with literally ZERO advanced warning that we would lose access to the washer/dryer for at least a month due to the construction project taking place in the back parking lot (earthquake retrofitting). So then I had to start taking my clothes to a laundromat which is hard to do as a professional working 50+ hr weeks. Additionally, Pedram told us we had to park our cars on the street for this project despite the workers only being there during business hours. There was no reason we had to park on the street at night, other than his negligence with regard to understanding the actual scope of the construction project. My car and several others suffered vandalism/damage due to being on the street. It was completely unnecessary, but he would have known that if he ever stepped foot onto that property or put even the smallest amount of effort into managing it. I finally had to threaten him with legal action to be allowed to break the lease, as I could not continue living in that hell hole. He will not return my security deposit and states he kept it as the lease break fee, which is of course illegal under California state law. So not only did I lose my 2k deposit, I have to pay 1k to fix my car and I paid another 1k for moving expenses. Still very seriously considering taking him to small claims court. I had a completely horrific experience at this place and I have no idea who would write a positive review. I spoke to numerous other residents who all had similar experiences and were completely frustrated and fed up. Pedram, you take advantage of people and you know it. Absolutely disgusting behavior. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You can say I'm disgruntled about the deposit or whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better, but we both know the truth.

You might think your interactions are problematic now, but it only gets worse. Years ago he managed our building briefly (luckily it was sold and the new owners had their own property manager) and was a problematic human being to everyone in our building. He would come by, all coked out at 10 pm or 7am (some inappropriate time) and BANG on our doors to complain about some bizarre perceived infraction, he insisted that we tear apart some landscaping that we had invested many thousands of dollars on because he said our raised flower beds constituted "a structure" and were therefore illegal, and without giving too much information for him to know who this is (since I consider him a dangerous and unhinged human being) he made our lives hell during the time he managed our building. I did a good amount of research on him while he was our property manager and discovered that not only were there multiple complaints against him through the rent board, he was involved in multiple lawsuits AND he specifically targeted older female tenants in rent controlled units, marketing himself as a "constructive eviction specialist" on landlord portals. He purported to be an expert in harassing people out of their units so landlords could rent these units at market rate, and went to the ends of the earth to accomplish this--he was truly relentless. An absolute vile human being that you would do your best to avoid interacting with if at all possible, as once he focuses on you, he's like a pit bull--never letting go until he gets his way. He will lie to anyone and everyone involved - - police, attorneys, judges--whatever he needs to do to get his way. An honestly evil creature.

We thought both companies would be a good fit; however, neither company gave us the services we were promised. When we switched to Fredy Peccorini of Cityscape, I was the president of the HOA board, which meant I communicated with Fredy multiple times a week. From the beginning, Fredy was more efficient in following through on emails and communicated with us promptly. In addition to Fredy's amazing organizational skills, he had a list of go-to people from electricians to attorneys. He demonstrated that he had a very good relationship with these contacts. All of this made my job as president much easier. It was a pleasure working with Fredy. It wasn't until the second year that I learned he had 15 years of experience managing condos, which shows. I can't thank Fredy enough for all he has done and continues to do for us.

Completely disappointed in the lack of proactiveness and overall poor service of this property…read moremanagement company. I lived in my building for almost 4 years, and Francis Serrano (the point-of-contact who manages the building) had repeatedly remained unresponsive or unhelpful when the unit owner (my landlord) and I would flag some concerns about a potential mice infestation in the building. Instead of taking initiative into identifying the root cause, Francis sent my landlord an email that says that "rodents are a common issue in San Francisco" and basically is hands-off in trying to treat the individual units beyond adding rodent boxes in the trash room. She implied that it was my responsibility to keep the unit clean, as if she was implicating that I was the one living in squalor and started the infestation. I ended up reporting it to SFDPH, where they discovered that the unit next to me had an infestation due to leaving dog food out and not tidying up after her pet. They also found some violations in the building, like a large gap under the door sweep of the trash room as a potential entry point. In addition, the light wells around the building were covered with debris and trash. After speaking with pest control services, they explained that the mouse chewed an entryway from my neighbor's unit and into my own, escaping from behind my dishwasher and scurrying from under my oven. I eventually moved out of the building since writing this review. Before leaving, I discovered from other residents and tenants (including HOA members) that they were not informed that there was a mice infestation in the building. There were other residents who were left to fend for themselves, purchasing traps from Amazon and met with delayed action or similarly dismissive responses from Francis. I decided to share this experience after some time, because I wanted to warn others about this property management company and the lack of urgency and competence in how they handled this situation. They merely felt obligated to address the problem after getting a formal report from SFDPH, rather than listening to the concerns from their residents. If you can, stay away at all costs.
