Customer ReviewsforGoldfarb Properties

I paid the fee and couple days later I got denied because supposedly my voucher didnt cover the rent -which it did. The rent says - $2,749, when u hit apply the rent chances to $2999, so It wont cover .. hows that ? Smh

Voucher discrimination. Voucher covers 100% of ************* rental history. I paid the application fee and was emailed it will take 7 to 10 days for decision that was NOV 29th its now DEC 22nd. They don't answer phone don't reply to emails or messages. Total scams. Won't rent to Voucher holders. They need to be looked into. Not even decency to reply to email.

I have lived at Harbor House for 10 years. Any issues I have had in my apartment over the years have always been handled quickly and professionally. The building is cleaned regularly and the apartment I moved into was newly renovated and has been great. They recently repainted my apt and renewed my blinds as well as I have been there so long. The elevators were redone in my time and laundry rooms have also recently been redone. They are always improving the property and building.

I stayed at the ***************** property for 7 years. Do not stay in any of their properties. Based on my experience that they are completely disrespectful of their tenants, treat their staff terribly, and they are going to try to steal your deposit without providing any proof. First, I have personally seen members of the landlord's family who reside in the building treat the doormen extremely rudely and yelling at them in the lobby in front of tenants. In 2022, this behavior is unacceptable. A privileged individual should not be allowed to treat their employees in that way simply because of the inequity in power. Second, their behavior throughout the pandemic was horrific and very disrespectful to the tenants (constant renovations during which you could not be in your apartment and the landlord's refusal to take into account the disturbance they were causing). Third, I moved out a few days ago and now they are trying to charge me with renovations of the apartment claiming that I cause damage that I never did (e.g., stains on the floor that were there when I moved in and curtain rods that were also there when I moved in). They also want to charge me $100 for a set of keys!!!! Similarly excessive amounts are listed on the list of purported damages. I offered to mitigate the damage but they refused and insist that I pay the arbitrary amounts they set without ANY proof or invoices from contractors. When I said I would pay the invoices as soon as I received them, their lawyer threatened me with a summons and complaint and said that I could subpoena the bills through litigation. I suspect that they are about to wholly renovate the apartment and they are just trying to squeeze money out of me even though they are going to completely tear down everything-- this is the type of people you will be dealing with). They are asking for money but refusing to provide receipts!!! That is the level of bad faith I am dealing with. Do not stay there.

I saw an advertisement on their website saying about a free month of rent. I applied for the apartment the guy that worked for the company of Goldfarb Properties told me that it was going to be the last month of the lease which was a 1 year lease, now I call the company they dont want to give the free month rent the lady that answer the phone spoke really bad to me and said that the person i did the paper work with is no longer working with them. Im so upset is supposed to be ***** a month and they said that because I dont have proof the cant do nothing the only thing i have is a picture of the advertisement.

Here is my honest review of my experience that is a bit lengthy but I wanted to be as detailed as possible. I lived at ******************* South apartment 2H for 3 years. The best thing about the apartment for me was the convenience of the location because it was only a 10 minute commute from work- NOT My time there. The pros of building were: a better than average looking lobby (probably the most "luxury" part of the building), the room sizes were decent and there is a laundry in the building. You can get street parking but you need to make sure you avoid the street cleaning and school parking signs or you'll pile up those tickets. The cons were VERY BAD property management- probably the most upsetting and stressful group of individuals to deal with once you become a tenant. The apartment was not luxury in my opinion.1. Random cracks in walls and ceilings appear randomly (sheet rock does that I've heard)2. what you'd probably consider wood grain cabinets are just a peel on film to give it that wood look 3. hallways are old looking. Small elevator that has the padded covers up 90% of the time as if people are moving in/out all the time. Kind of embarrassing if you have guests. 4. Some scary times in the building were:a) fire in laundry room (no injuries to my understanding but scary)b) a heavy flooded lobby during a storm (blame it on mother nature but it smelled for a few days)c) i got a call once from super that there was a leak from the apartment upstairs coming into my bathroom. I had to leave work give access (I do NOT like people in my apartment with me not being there). They put a hole in my bathroom wall to realize it wasn't my apartment they needed for whatever pipe they had to do work on. I followed up days later for when they're gunna fix the hole and they said I had to put a maintenance request for damage they did.d) there are many days throughout the year you'll have No hot water for a boiler repair, During the storm in 2020 there was a loss of electricity throughout the building for days. Building just told us it's *****. There's eldery and disabled people in that building so they prob had it worse having to use stairs with no elevator. e) They have a parking but seems like it's really just used by zip car renters. The prices to rent a spot is not worth it in my opinion. It's also a side street so its only a narrow one way so forget about it if you're looking to do a drop off or pickup. My most scariest time at this building is when they Broke into my apartment while I was at work. I realized the neighborhood isn't the safest (regardless of a precinct located a block away), There's way too many strangers in the building and they need way better security or cameras. I found out this "luxury" building only has security camera in elevator, back of building and lobby. Might be more but this is what I was told. NOTHING in hallways or staircases. The pictures we got were a man In elevator with a mask obviously and back of him in lobby. Nothing the detectives could work off of. Unsolved case I guess. Only one that took a loss is me. Two older guys came following morning (look like older retired cops) didn't do much but tell me keep all locks on doors. They said they doors needed an extra guard to prevent swipes- when I followed up days later and asked them what they're gunna do they seemed to forget what happened. If you've been a victim of burglary or robbery you understand that feeling of being violated. I did not want to remain in the apartment but they would NOT cancel the lease instead offer me a different apt in an older building.I recently moved out Jan 5. 2022. 5 days after my lease expired (dealing with Holdiays, New Years, covid)- I don't recommend a December ending lease. The worst time of year to move. I just got notice they are holding my ENTIRE $2200 security deposit and also charging me few hundred dollars for normal wear and tear damages. 5 days extra, they are charging a month with no access to the apt anymore. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
