I have lived here for almost 3 years and now reading all the maintience failure requests on here it…read moreis starting to add up. I have no had screens on any of my windows since I've moved in. I have 2 small children, one on oxygen and I've been voicing this concern and keep getting told "they dont make that size screen anymore".... which in result you'd think by now (3 years later) they would find a new window/screen company. My preception is they don't want to spend the extra money to get updated appliances. It is now the third summer without screens on my windows, so we cannot enjoy fresh air ever because there is constant bees/moquitoes/ any outside bugs. I understand we are in a woodsy area but then maintence needs to do better making sure we are safe and our children are safe in our apartments! About a year ago they brought me a USED refridgerator because my brand new one that the provided was over freezing, so instead of getting me a new one they gave me an old used one. I had to clean it myself and it has still not been replaced. But aisde from even that.... we've had a new issue arise where the HVAC in one of the closets was leaking so bad it we the entire closet carpet and they had to rip it up. 3 days ago, they came with a large fan and left it here for about 9 hours (Which of course we pay for electricity, so i had to call myself for them to come pick up the fan) they then put a bucket under to catch all the dripping water. NOBODy has came back since. I've had to emtpy this giant bucket of water myself for the last 2 days. Called yesterday, and again today and still nobody came. The maintince looks like its been out of control for over 10+ years, and I really do enjoy living here, so I hope they can be more on top of maintence requests and being considerate of the tenants and children.

Let me start by saying that this place is actually one of the nicer and newer rental apartment…read morecommunities to live in. That's the ONLY good thing that can be said about it. They have 2 bedroom apartments which have 2 full baths and central air and forced hot air with washer/dryer inside the units but don't include utilities such as water, gas or electricity. I've been living here since April 2014 and my rent was $1745/mo until i renewed my lease in 4/2015 when they raised my rent to $1765 and then when I renewed my rent this year in 4/2016 they increased it to $1805. So they basically raised my rent by $60/mo and yet whenever there were maintenance related issues, they either did nothing or took their sweet time to fix them. Not to mention my wife and I have been searching to purchase a home and asked the property to go month to month so they charged us half of what our new rent payment would be going forward ($902.50) in our case and again - when it comes to maintenance they do little to nothing! It's absurd how the property management treats their tenants. This is typical for apartment communities owned by Garden Communities as we lived at Knoll Gardens in Lake Hiawatha (Parsippany Troy-Hills), NJ prior to this place, though they actually included water and we just paid for gas and electricity and were a lot better with maintenance than Kinnelon ridge. Now the property maintenance/management staff is almost completely useless. There's a few names to mention here: Amal (office manager), Anne (Kinnelon ridge property manager), the "superintendent", Dan greenzweig (who's a complete douchebag with absolutely no respect for tenants and acts like he owns the property or something), and Joseph Frish (Garden Communities' manager) who's a toolbag with no concern for tenants' issues. Amal almost always has condescending comment for issues I've had. To name a few, I had Yellowjacket bees (or wasps?) in my son's room last summer when he was only around 8 months old and she thought it was "hard to believe" and when I told her I caught a couple of them, her response was oh well we have bees on our apartment too, it's normal to have them". Are you friggin kidding me?! I told her that if my son ever gets stung by one, there will be a serious lawsuit on their hands. So finally after a week of me demanding a professional exterminator to come and spray the building, she finally called. For that to happen, I had to speak to Joseph Frish, and he must've yelled at or threatened to fire Amal because she was pretty understanding about a few maintenance requests I made to her after that and didn't make remarks. I only had to deal with the Kinnelon ridge property manager Anne once but she didn't really do anything whenever I had to go over Amal so she was useless. The super - dan greenzweig - literally cursed me out when I was working out in the community gym one night around 9pm because I was dropping the weights too hard and when the gym closes at 10pm he comes out telling me to get the f#ck out and that he'll revoke my gym privileges if I didn't leave when I asked him if I could just finish my last set of exercises which was five more minutes. When I spoke with Ann the next morning about his disrespectful intense attitude, she didn't ask me whether or not he apologized but went on to tell me "well he lives in the apartment next to the gym (which I had no idea about and told dan that if I HAD known that, I wouldn't have been dropping the weights and sincerely apologized and got a response of "I don't want your f#cking apology just get the f#ck out), and has a one year old child." I told her well that doesn't give him the right to talk to tenants that way and she said we apologize for that. That dickhead shouldn't be working here with an attitude like that. I then told Joseph Frish that I don't want that asshole anywhere near or in my apartment and all his response was "well did he apologize to you?". I told him I didn't want his apology since he didn't wanna accept mine and told him he should be written up but who knows if he ever did. There have been a laundry list of maintenance issues that we've had and took forever to address by the maintenance & mgmt staff but I just don't have time to list them all out. One major recent one we've had is a bird got into one of the ducts in the building and it smells nasty from the vent in our bathroom which happened 5 days ago and Amal said she'd have a roof company come on Fri 5/20/16 to get it out but never actually called them and we've been arguing with Mgmt to get it addressed all wknd and we had because we come to find out yesterday that no one was ever called and the issue will be addressed on Monday. If anyone from Mgmt is reading this, you better not expect your rent next month for making us deal with this inconvenience! You're lucky to get 1 star, otherwise I'd give -10 if I could!! New potential tenants beware of this place!

I left in 2022 after being there for 16 years and let me tell you those last 3 years were terrible. The place was infested with those weird centipede looking things which we told them multiple times it was and they did nothing. We had raccoons living in the ceiling which they said was squirrels which I know it wasn't because I saw a raccoon climbing into a whole they ripped in by a corner on a building. I heard them fighting all hours of the night and they did nothing but blame a squirrel. Squirrels don't weigh enough to be shaking the whole ceiling when they run. We had leaky pipes which we asked multiple times for them to fix and they never did. We also needed a new faucet because ours was leaking. They have us a new one and never put it. They just left it in the box and that was it. They would never fix anything nor do anything about your problem. The parking lot is all ripped up and has tons of pot holes and ripped up areas. In the winter they would barely salt in ice the sidewalks. I've seen people fall multiple times there. Our mailbox broke which they also didn't fix. I would never recommend living in this dump. They have raised the prices by almost 25% since I left and have done nothing to make this place better. I would rather sleep in my car then pay them $2100 for a 2 bedroom apartment that they won't ever fix.

They dropped off a few samples along with an explanation sheet explaining the benefits of each. I was rather surprised by the price which I consider to be more than fair. I hired them on the spot and could not be more pleased. The work performed, punctuality and communication were all without parallel. Speaking as someone who is very meticulous with the maintenance of their home, I can recommend them without reservation. Kudos much thanks.

We assumed they would conduct at least basic due diligence, such as verifying the tenant's previous residence. They didn't. In fact, they failed to do anything to properly screen the tenant. Worse, they neglected to include a furniture inventory list in the lease agreement, despite the fact that our 2,800 sq ft home was fully furnished. The tenant turned out to be a drug user running a brothel out of our property. She backed a truck up to our home and stole everything inside -- down to the custom pool fence for our child. Since the furniture list wasn't attached to the lease, we couldn't file a police report or claim any of it on our insurance.
