Our back door would not latch correctly and we had asked since 2019 to have it replaced and George refused. It was a literal safety hazard since the door would not close. The roof is leaking at the property and instead of fixing it he would just have dumb and dumber(his "contractors" who were clearly always coked out) come and clean up the water. The place is FULL of black mold.... And when I say full, I mean it was growing down the walls, out of sockets, it was awful. They just paint over it with "mold resistant" paint in each apartment and call that ok. George is a bully who will hold leases over your head unless you pay ridiculous and made up fees. Our apartment building caught on fire from not having proper wiring and when George finally decided to show up he was pissed off that someone called the fire department because now he was being held responsible to fix it by the town. Code enforcement came and shut our building down for an entire week. Our refrigerator broke and he promised us a new one and even told us he ordered it but then dodged us anytime we asked about the status on it. He does not have proper smoke detectors. His guys will not come and plow the parking lot even though it's in the lease. The people he does hire are incredibly sketchy and he does not give proper notice so you could be home alone with your kids in the shower and these people are just entering your place with no warning. He raises the rent each year and charges ridiculous amounts for these places that are cesspools. He allows someone to live in the building who is mentally unstable with a bunch of guns who has threatened multiple tenants in the building but he didn't care because that apartment paid the most in rent. The hot water only would work from time to time so we would have to go shower and bathe our children at family's house. George is also incredibly sexist. He often acts like he just cannot discuss things with the women in the building. We constantly had to run electric heaters because none of the baseboards worked so we would freeze in the winter if we relied on his "free heat." I could go on and on and on. Long story short, while the price may be comparable in today's economy, I promise you, it is not worth it. Getting out of there was the best thing we have ever done.

He led me on to schedule an estimate, confirmed the appointment the day before, then blatantly lied about showing up. He continuously strung me along with fake arrival times, never actually in transit. At 1:30, he said he was 10 minutes away; at 2:30, he was suddenly "5 minutes out"--only after I called from a different number. He dodged my calls completely. If he can't even show up for an estimate, imagine trusting him with actual work. Avoid at all costs.

He then said he would be there in 5 minutes. 20 minutes went by and we both called him again which he didn't respond to so we called from a different number (my business number) sense he apparently will answer your calls if he doesn't know your number to dodge them. Overall he said he was 10 minutes out 30 minutes after he was supposed to be there then 5 minutes out after he was an hour late and then no response from him after he was an hour and a half late. Drove over an hour to meet with him just for him to waste my time.

The windows were rotted, and the building was cited as potentially having lead service lines. Communicating with the company is nearly impossible, with automated email messages and general phone lines to call that don't lead to another human on the other end. They're a faceless organization, and do not care for the buildings they own -- mainly focus on real estate holdings.

Specifically for the Middle St unit in Ballston Spa NY:…read more The people at the rental company seemed to really want to help with ongoing issues in the home (especially the maintenance people, they were awesome), but I got the impression that the actual owner of the home didn't want to pay for the below issues to be solved. I lived here from 2025 to 2026, and below were the ongoing issues that caused me to leave: - Black mold and leaky roof in the unit downstairs. Finally showed up in late January 2026 after submitting a request in August 2025 for the mold, only to be told they cannot fix the mold until the roof stops leaking, roof still has not been fixed as of May 2026. Roofing specialist were sent out multiple times but the issue persisted. Got the recommendation from another roofing company to replace the roof, not sure if this is the owner not wanting to pay for a new roof or the roofing company that was sent not doing a great job. - Tree specialist that was working at the neighbor's house recommended to cut down the dying/dead tree in the backyard in Fall 2025 as it was at risk of falling directly on the house, nothing was done to address this. March 14th 2026 the tree fell on the house. Because it was a weekend, we could not get in contact with anyone at Veno and had to call the fire department. After the tree fell on the house, the bathroom ceiling started to leak. Maintenance request was submitted for the leak on 3/24, as of May 2026 leak was not fixed and small spot now turned into a 52 inch leaking crack in the ceiling. - Large holes in the basement foundation, leading to an ongoing rodent problem. I'm unsure the extent to which these issues are actually a result of the management company vs the owner of the house.
