    Empty cable outlet that doesn't actually connect to anything

    Where do I begin with this management & company in general? I'm living at Drexel Court right now & plan to move out ASAP once the lease is over. The building is ridiculously priced for such run-down condition & noise levels. 1) The promised high speed internet connection was a total SCAM! I can barely watch Netflix or browse the internet or go through my social media. I tried connecting my PC with the LAN network several times only to find out they installed an empty cable outlet that DOESNT ACTUALLY CONNECT TO ANYTHING. This is totally unacceptable & disrespectful. 2) The heating system sometimes feels like it's just there for the decorative purposes because in the winter, it turns on maybe once a day, leaving the apartment temperature in the 30s. 3) Water system is weird & outdated. When you're turning the shower on, if you accidentally flush the toilet or use the sink while waiting, 30s later the shower water will turn BOILING hot for the next 10 minutes. 4) The hall, omg, the y'all always has a musky, humid feel & either smells like weed or food year round. It gets especially unbearable in warmer days like recently since there's no ventilation in the hallways so even a short walk to go outside or back to your apartment makes it torturous. 5) The floor leveling is UNEVEN. Not only does my work chair keeps rolling back to the wall when I'm sitting on it, you can feel the difference in elevation yourself by your bare feet. 6) NO washer/dryer unit in the building!!! You have to haul all of your laundry to a coin laundromat location at the end of the block, wash it, wait. Go back to dry it, wait, & then haul all of it back to your apartment. The hassle is truly unbelievable!!! Overall, just don't live at any of their properties. You will be in for one heck of a ride of terrible experiences throughout your leasing term. You can honestly find much better places elsewhere, don't waste your money or sacrifice your peace of mind with this company.

    The roof leaked during a storm and water came through the kitchen ceiling.

    My gf and I lived in an apartment that Knickerbocker managed. For three years we kept the apartment clean, paid our rent on time, and were all-around good tenants. Nearly two months after moving out, we received a letter with an outrageous claim that our cat had destroyed the floors and that the smell of cat urine rendered the unit "uninhabitable". This was not true at all -- our cat used his litter box perfectly every single time. Knickerbocker even conducted pre- and post-move-out inspections that showed no damage. Knickerbocker kept our security deposit and demanded an additional $1,000. They refused to listen to reason, they did not give us any details of what work was performed, and they ultimately stopped responding to our emails. Attached are photos of our leaking kitchen ceiling that soaked the floors; clearly not cat pee. If you have the misfortune of living in one of their properties, make sure you take as many photos of the property as possible when you move in. Not that it will matter much when they decide to rob you. Hope you bought something nice with our money, Tom.

    If I could give zero or negative stars I 100% without hesitating would. This management of the property is absolutely terrible. To all possible renters/prospective tenants, I am trying to look out for you by telling you DON'T LIVE HERE. The management is awful and the maintenance people do not care about their tenant's issues. For the past 10 months living here, I have asked the management to fix the wifi issues. I only get max 25 Mbps in my room and it's absolutely awful. When I tried complaining to them, they told me that I'm at fault. This is absolutely unacceptable, irresponsible, and shows the lack of work ethics from this team. He accused me of bringing harm to his family, his team, etc. by being vocal online. Let me remind you that Freedom of Speech is the 1st Amendment! His accusation is aimed to silence those who speak out the truth about the management's quality and service. Also, in the screenshot, it is worth looking at how the management team here treats and handles their tenants. This person completely fabricated some sort of story to dismiss my legitimate complaints. I am not a YouTuber, I am not monetizing any videos or services online using their network as he claimed. I'm just a college student trying to finish school and graduate during COVID-19. In the picture, as you can see, that is the actual reality of the wifi connection, IF I could even connect to it. He had the audacity to claim that my wifi speed is greater than 100 Mbps (by sending a picture of an online speed test that he claimed was in my apartment when I was home the whole day). All I want from the start of my move-in was to have adequate wifi so I can dial into my Zoom lectures with a stable connection for college and able to relax by watching videos. The rent is already so high on top of utilities. They specifically stated in their agreement that every tenant is provided a wifi system that is fast enough to be on a shared network. However, my room received such unbelievably slow connection speed it was unbearable. Many times, I have to sacrifice my health and risk being outside during a global pandemic to travel to friends' places just so I can use their wifi & finish assignments on time. COVID-19 is affecting everyone's families in so many different aspects, I don't understand how they can tell me to just spend extra money and get my own network. I am not financially privileged enough to do that. KnickerBocker Management, please hold yourself accountable, own up to your lack of professionalism, and respect your tenant. Instead of trying to silence people, DO BETTER!

    I don't write too many reviews. I've experienced a lot of 5-star service, but I just never "get…read morearound to it" when it comes to sharing a positive review. Well this time I'm actually following through, because Capri was/is a godsend. She came into our lives at a time when we were pretty hopeless about selling our Philly house. The only reason we tried again is because of Capri-magic. She calmed us, coached us and called us through the whole process. She never lied to us about our prospects, but also gave us enough hope to keep pressing forward. We ended up with an offer better than we could of imagined. Capri was probably happier than we were; that's how invested she was in making it work. Thank you Capri and team. Because of this miracle, my wife and I are in a better place to have a family.

    Selling a house can be stressful. Couple that with the pandemic, a holiday season listing, and a…read morebuyer's market. Your realtor better have an arsenal packed with experience, knowledge, contacts, and great communication skills to navigate the choppy waters. The Capri Dessecker Team certainly did. Capri came through with virtual staging, several open houses, great follow up and presented us with multiple offers. Whitney didn't miss a beat either.  Keeping us apprised of all updated information and setting expectations. Expect stellar service from this extraordinary team. They will not disappoint.
