  Contacting business since my husband passed away 5/14/25. No water for 3 weeks. Mice/dead creatures in roof. no response. When my husband died I lost access to my email/phone number. There is no access to their portal externally. There is no phone number to call. Those things have to be changed on their end to permit me access. I have called them to gain access. No answer/nowhere to leave a message. I have left "service requests" "general inquiries" with my contact info. No reply. I have driven to their property on Alabama and left a physical note. No reply. I have been paying $1375 for 2 1/2 years at *************************************** due to their inaction, I vacate. The business has committed to provide a livable secure environment and failed to do so. I have been targeted/terrorized. I contact them again regarding vacating (no response) clean the house/take pictures. On 6/20/25 at 11pm I leave the house with my ****************** in it (few possessions like floor lamp/ mirror) I return 6/21/25 at 8:45a to remove these items/my animal and find squatters have moved in. They trashed the place and let my dog loose. I was unable to remove my washer/dryer (they are using them) My other belongings have been stolen. I get the squatters arrested while trying to contact the company. No response. Reporting what criminal activity is happening. No response. I ask for help in protecting their property. No response. I have the police there 6/21/25 twice and once on 6/22/25. Squatters property is inside the home, mine was stolen, dog *** and I am unable to get my appliances out of the home. My dispute with Alpine is sheer negligence. They have repeatedly violated any contract they have with me because they have not furnished what they committed to provide. A livable, safe environment. They neglected to attempt to solve this after two months of documented contact attempts. I need help. No response. I am ******** ********. I am at ************** and ***********************

  Date: 06/25/2025

  Alpine Property Management is so sorry to hear about the passing of Ms. ********* husband.  We understand the difficulties she is facing at this time.
  
  Ms. ******** has rented from Alpine since April 2023.  No maintenance work orders have been submitted since May 2023.  Nothing has ever been reported about no water or any mice.
  
  Ms. ********* lease does not end until 7/31/25.  A copy of the lease is attached.  And per lease agreement, a 30-day written notice (electronically or paper copy) is required before vacating home.  And weve received neither.
  
  Given Ms. ********* longevity at the property, it is puzzling when she states she has been unable to get in touch with Alpine Property Management.
  -Our contact information including address & phone number are found via simple ****** search (screenshot provided)
  -Our contact information including address & phone number is listed on our website (screenshot attached)
  -When you call out office phone number (listed on our website, ****** search, and on her lease), it lists email addresses ***************** & ******************** to reach out to for documented correspondence
  -Our office hours are plainly visible on our buildings front door (photo attached)
  
  Additionally, both the phone number and email address *********** listed in her complaint are different than the email address and phone number provided to us prior (screenshot attached).
  
  Using the updated contact info provided in the complaint, I have personally called (left voicemail) and emailed Ms. ******** to find out what is going on.
  
  We certainly want to address any issues, but we cannot fix what we do not know about.  We are hoping Ms. ******** gets back to us ASAP!

  I have even more documentation than I provided (theres only 5 spots) I repeatedly attempted to contact alpine. ******* called me rudely only after I complained to the bbb and had me prove to him that they have neglected their responsibilities. I turned in proof of contact and police report for the unsafe living environment that was provided to me. I have not heard from *******. My things and dog are still stolen. I was still pushed out of my home by squatters who trashed it, and the **** have done a better job of communicating with me than ******* has regarding the property he allegedly manages. I will be testifying regarding the criminal activity and ******* has yet to contact me with a resolution regarding the home I was pushed out of or my missing possessions. A little compassion and total transparency goes a long way and I have received neither from alpine when I was a very loyal tenant.

  Hello,

  The company is not providing repairs to the home currently lived in. The tenants have requested on more than one occasion to have the water leak in the walls be repaired. There is now mold and mushrooms growing in the home. The company tried to blame it on the tenant but the tenant has checked all appliances that may have been leaking. The family members have multiple health issues including asthma.

  Hello,

   

  Thank you for reaching out.

  The specific address was not included, so I am unsure of which location this is for.  I checked the last name of the person who submitted the complain, but we have no record of that person living inside one of the homes we manage. Please see attached image.

  If we can get clarification of which address this is for, I'd be happy to dig in.

  Thank you,

  Hello,

  We are puzzled as to why our initial response was "rejected"?

  In the initial complaint, there was no corresponding (tenant) name or address listed.  So we had no idea what address the complaint corresponded with.  The one name listed did not match any of our records.  Our initial response was to merely ask for the name and/or address of the tenant and/or mailing address so that we could dig into it.  Now that we know the complaint is from 1846 ********, we will dig into this issue and respond accordingly.

  Sincerely,

  Alpine Property Management

  Hello,

  After receiving the address in question yesterday (6/5), I have had time to dig into the situation.

  There was a hidden water leak from the water heater that was causing the damage.

  That water heater in question was replaced on 6/4/25.

  A work order has been dispatched to a restoration/carpet cleaning company to dry out and sanitize the affected carpeting in the hallway.  Alpine's maintenance manager has been in contact directly with Ms. ***** via email.  Ms. ***** confirmed the water heater replacement has been completed and was notified of the pending carpet treatment.

   

  Sincerely,

  Alpine Property Management

  Hello,

   

  Alpine Property Management contracts with independent leasing companies to lease the homes that we manage.  Alpine Property Management screens the applications that the leasing companies submit to us, which allows us to be a true neutral party in screening process.

   

  Alpine Property Management does not have a record of any ******** *********.

   

  My guess is that he reached out to Alpine ***********, which is separate from Alpine Property Management.  I've forwarded Mr. ********** information to my contact at Alpine Leasing to find out if they have any record of him.  As we want to figure this out and move forward.

   

  ************************************** is the proper email address for application correspondence.  All communication is documented and can be easily referenced in the future, if needed.

   

  Thanks,

  Alpine Property Management

She said she would send to maintained people. I have not received a call from maintained mor has any one showed up and if someone called no messages have been left. I called again several times on 12/12 no response and 12/13 several times no response and again keep in mind the weather is freezing and I told the lady I have no where to go. I have been sick with bronchitis was just getting over it was in and out of hospital missed work so short on money I did manage to get a couple of heaters for the house but again this is unacceptable that no one can call. 12 14 I called again left a nasty message and I also sent an email to the leasing people after I got a 100 late fee for not paying my rent on time which I know is my fault again I was off work pay is short I will get it paid but I asked that lady for any numbers I can call to get this resolved and no response from them.

  This management company does not respond to any emails or phone calls. I have tried multiple times to get our rental deposit back but they do not respond. They sent an email with an incorrect deposit amount. It said we had a deposit of $995 but the amount was $1250. They are also charging $175 for a fridge cleaning. This doesnt make sense the fridge we had was a replacement they got from another tenant and was filthy. We had to clean it ourselves and left it in pristine condition prior to moving out. I would only pay the fee if they can prove it required cleaning in the first place. Its already been 25 days since we moved out and we havent received our deposit back. Per CA law deposit is to be returned 21 after moving out!

  My wife and I are filing this complaint to further bring to light Alpine Property Management's business practices and continuous Harrasment financially, emotionally, and mentally. We are not responsible for maintenance fees they have added to this months dues and would like this removed and the issues of submission of any future maintenance requests be addressed to protect our financial future according to the legal contract we have signed with Alpine Property Management. After last year's complaint about the prolonged situation with no hotwater Alpine jumped to fix the hot water and remove any additional charges for the submission of Property maintenance needs for this rental property at *********************************** upon our move in. This year the air conditioner went out in the beginning of the season. We submitted a maintenance request informing of the ** failure. A long period of time and many hot days later a tech arrives to tell the obvious. It's broken and will need replacement being it's a 1995 Central Air unit that has failed. It is now July 9th and there has not been any repairs to the ** and we have just received an email Stating they are waiting for "Approval" and the ****** add med to our $1,025.00 rent was for the ** maintenance requests. We are being taken advantage of by an Accredited Business. We are not responsible for this property owners maintenance issues and request unless we literally broke or abused something. Which a 1995 Central Air unit failing upon the beginning of the 2nd year of use after intal repairs the 1st is definitely not the renters responsibility. Our rent is considered Late Via Contract on the 10th of the month. I have waited to pay this months rent I hopes to get this resolved before they take what money have left. They are open for business to receive calls tomorrow....couldn't reach them before the holiday.

  Hello.  This is all a big mis-understanding.  There is no maintenance fee owed by the tenant.  Please see attached screenshot of rent ledger showing a $0 balance.

   

  It looks to have been some confusion on that email chain referenced via screenshots.  Multiple people chiming in on one chain.  And there were some folks out of the office working remotely which added to the confusion.  Apologies for the confusion.

   

  And to further elaborate, there is NO maintenance fee charged to a tenant for repairs needed.  The only way we would ever charge a tenant for any maintenance or repair needed was if it was tenant-caused or tenant-damaged (for example, a baseball breaking a window pane).

   

  To recap, no maintenance fee is owed by the tenant at ***************

  This complaint is being submitted out of fear and concerns for my family's safety  having a functional and safe living space space according to ********* Lanlord Tenants Law without retaliation or threats of any kind now or in the future.
  

  We moved in May 27th of 2023. Not before a multitude of property maintenance and owner problems.
  

  Starting with my wife and I finding squatters living in the rental we just applied for and put up a $1,000 deposit via online (no personal contact to this day).
  

   I found Alpine on BBB website and me being a BBB member myself led me to extend trust with my family and money.
  
   I came by to check on the rental we put a deposit on via online with no idea who Alpine was or even if they were a scam. After about week of making deposit and not getting any calls to meet for a walk thru before contract was signed.
  
   I arrived at the rental myself to find people moving in claims that they also paid a deposit and signed a lease.
  
   I immediately found there address for Alpine thru BBB and drove to their office on *******. When they opened the door for business it was not open for ******** was made to stand outside in the rain explaining what I found and asking where our $1,000 is at?
  
   I explained the details of what I found on their property and they told us they would get back to us and shut the door. (Very unprofessional beginning).
  
   Two very nervous weeks pass and they contact us stating the property was now available would we like to continue with lease and move-in? We were assuming our money was stolen and were going to be homeless at that point when they called back. So we felt this was a blessing considering the prior squatters living there.
  
   Yes we took our option to have a home for a family of four and moved in May 27th,2023. We were instructed to come and pick up the keys. Nobody from Alpine had offered afrer recovering the property from Squatters to do a walk thru with us before we move in sign a lease.
  
   We got the keys and came over after work May 27th to discover...
  
  1. 2 Falling tress within 5 feet of the home,
  
  2.no electricity,
  
  3.clogged faucets,
  
  4.Clogged drains,
  
  5.broken garage doors,
  
  6.no key they supplied actually worked and they were the same locks from the squatters,
  
  7.broken ** unit,
  
  8.broken furnace,
  
  9.many leaking water spigots from the bathroom,laundry room, kitchen, and outside spigot, light fixtures not working.
  
  10.Mold growing on walls in the basement no dehumidifiers.
  
  11.After electrical was established lots of outlets didn't work.
  
  12.No hot water since May 27th. They fixed the shower faucet a month ago and then I complained again about no hot water and they determined it eas a the water heater being it was a 13 year old Sear water tank they said it needed replaced.
   They replaced and after the replacement the water never got hot. I wrote to the maintenance team again and they determined the installation was done correctly but someone in Alpine management chose to put a used Hot Water Tank in place of our old broken tank in this rental.
   We have not had hot water since May 27th.
  
  13.The Kitchen has been an on going maintenance concer starting with the dripping grease from Stove Exhaust hood. There was a good 30 years worth of grease dripping on our food and stove top anytime of day. Potential fire hazard being so much grease inside the traps and pipes. Alpine put a new exhaust hood up 7 months later but it still drips grease on hot days or while we are cooking.
  
  14.No water pressure in kitchen sink still even after the faucet was replaced May 27 , 2023
  
   The list could go on to detail all of our continued maintenance concerns but if need be, we can supply every email and video recording from May 27th to present complaint. All this happened on move in Day May 27th when the property was supposed to be move in ready and they have delayed all repairs until recently.
   We didn't have access to the garage until early fall. Most of these issues have been addressed but not resolved.
   For example, the ** was repaired initially but the ** went out before fall and I was too scared to report it again out of fear of retaliation of losing our home or being told we need to pay for the property owners repairs. When we still are fighting to have hot water and much more$
  
   The maintenance team, AES, a plumber, and a tree company worked until 1am May 27th trying to change locks, remove mold, and remove screws from barricaded doors from the squatters, replace faucets, unclog drains, cut down 2 big trees, and on and on.
  
   It's obvious at this point to us that this property was never ready and this company has neglected this property for a long period of time based upon observation,video evidence, and emails dating back from May 27 2023.
  
   There have been lots of debating coming from Alpine and some harassment. I want this harassment to end and Alpine live by the same contract rules as we signed to without any further retaliation via email or further delays in repairs to this rental, we pay for on time every month.
  
   The Harassment that has motivated me to reach out for help from the BBB:
  
  (considering I am a member of the BBB also I didn't want to go this route but there has been too much Harassment and it's making my family stress and have too much anxiety)
  
   I recently had time to purchase new bulbs for the laundry room light fixture which established that the property owners light fixtures were also broken amongst many other outdated equipment in this rental.
   I reported this maintenance need to Alpine via maintenance portal as instructed by my contract.
   Maintenance personnel arrived to check things out and discovered the equipment was failing and Alpine decided to replace old fluorescent fixture with 2 permanent standard light bulb fixtures.
  
   I received this harassment thru email last night there are five Alpine employees BCC to this email I was sent:
  
   Alpine's recent email:
   We have determined that the replacement of the light bulbs in the basement are tenant's responsibility. You will see a charge of $57.50 applied your rental ledger for the cost of the contractor to replace the light bulbs. Please pay this maintenance fee along with your next month's rental payment.
  
  My wife and I responded with:
  
   Attached are visual documentation showcasing the recently installed light fixtures alongside the pre-existing equipment, with a specific focus on the bulbs I have replaced.)
  

   I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address the recent maintenance activity at the property, specifically the replacement of light fixtures. I appreciate your attention to this matter and would like to provide some clarification.
  
  Firstly,I want to express that I do not possess any authority over the property and did not instruct your technician to replace any physical equipment. As outlined in our rental contract, I follow the proper channels by reporting maintenance needs through the Alpine maintenance portal.
  
   In addition, it is a common business practice to provide a price or estimate before performing any services. This allows the client an opportunity to review and approve any potential charges. Contrary to the information in your email indicating light bulbs were replaced, I merely replaced bulbs on the existing fixture. Unfortunately, the fixture did not function, leading to the technician and management's decision to replace it with permanent fixtures.
  
   According to our rental contract, the responsibility for decisions made by your technician and maintenance management falls outside of our purview. We diligently report property conditions to prevent neglect, given that we are renters, not owners.
  
   To avoid future misunderstandings, I suggest we collectively review the terms of our contract concerning maintenance needs. This proactive approach will contribute to a smoother resolution of minor maintenance issues, preventing them from recurring. Since our interactions have been primarily online, my wife and I would welcome an opportunity to discuss any concerns and ensure mutual understanding.
  
  Kind Regards, Mr.*********;

  Alpine Property Management vehemently denies any neglect, harassment, or mishandling.

  We have repaired/addressed every item reported.

  As you can see from the attached invoices, these are all unrelated items that Mr. ***** ************* have reported ***** we have addressed.  Everything from garage overhead door replacement, to oven repair, to furnace inspection, to water pressure improvement, etc.

  These aren't duplicate items or repetitive items that aren't being addressed.

  We encourage our tenants to report maintenance items.  And we appreciate Mr. ***** ***************** close attention to anything that comes up.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 
  
  [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]

  The complaint has been written to establish the timeline in which all this is occurring, highlighting 8 months of delay and the rental being almost in a condemned condition after the property was neglected for so long, leading to squatters taking over, as discovered by us, the paying tenants. The entire list includes trees falling over on the home, etc. The home was not rental-ready.

  Simply put, all these maintenance issues were either avoided for months, blame was shifted in many emails, and there were threats that we are responsible for any further maintenance issues. The most recent email claimed we were being charged for the light fixture equipment until I wrote an email reminding them that we are not responsible. Again?
  

  The results after 8 months of not having our home rental-ready and livable: Alpine still has not completed the things listed below, with photographs provided for reference.
  

  - We have not had hot water since May 27th. They addressed the hot water heater sometime in Oct or Sept. The shower faucet was still broken at this time, and there was no hot water.
  

  - Alpine repaired the shower spigots in about that 4-month timeline also after the said new water heater installation. After the shower spigots repair, there still was no hot water. Reported, I believe, back in November. (Only need to reference emails if dates are needed).
  

  - Someone arrived this year and walked through and resolved the lighting issue in the utility room and the bathroom sink water pressure.
  

  - The technician also attempted to flush the "new hot water tank." While doing the work, the technician for Alpine and I discovered they installed a 2015 used scratch and dent water heater in place of the prior broken water heater (Pictures Provided of Manufactured Date). We still didn't have hot water due to an old water tank full of sediment from almost 13 years of potential use.

  - He did not address the water pressure in the kitchen that Alpine originally replaced the faucet upon our moving-in day with a new spigot. It worked for about 4 days and then little to no pressure since. The last tech claims the old pipes (galvanized steel pipes) are full and corroded, just like the water tanks have been.
  
  - After I filed my complaint Friday, Alpine sent ***** and two other technicians to look at the problem again. They spent 3 hours flushing the tank and poking wires inside the tank to loosen 13 years of sediment. After the whole weekend of use, I can say we still don't have hot water, and it is February ****, and our lease is almost finished.
  
  Regards,

  As stated prior, Alpine has addressed every work order the tenant has reported.

  Here is a recap (along with attached invoices) of the 4 most recent work orders reported:

  1/9/24:  tenant reported there was a problem with the furnace - technician troubleshot furnace and found no issues

  1/9/24:  tenant reported a handful of issues; contractor repaired the small leak, repaired the range hood, replaced the bulbs, adjusted the scald guard, and cleaned the faucets

  1/10/24:  tenant reported a problem with the kitchen sink sprayer & that the countertop was coming apart from the sink; contractor replaced the sprayer & sealed countertop around the sink

  1/10/24:  tenant reported a problem with the stove; technician replaced 1 burner plug on stove

   

  Alpine Properly Management disagrees vehemently that the tenant has gone without hot water for any extended time, let along since May 2023.  In fact, we had contractors at the home over the weekend to take a look.  When those contractors left, there was adequate hot water.

  After the message we received this morning about no hot water, we reached out via phone as we like to correspond quickly on anything emergency-related.  ************ said the hot water works, but it goes out quickly.  So we told him, like we've done with everything else he's called in (and documented via invoices submitted on our last response), we would send someone out.

  ************, via phone, asked to speak further on the telephone.  Due to the nature of the current situation, we declined and asked that all correspondence be kept in writing.

  We've fixed everything ************ has reported without malice or prejudice.  As documented in the invoices submitted on the prior response.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this response/resolution is satisfactory.

   Subject: Acknowledgment of Business Response Complaint ID ********
  
  Dear Better Business Bureau,
  
  I have carefully reviewed the business's response to complaint ID ******** and am pleased to note that the resolution presented is deemed satisfactory.
  
  While some remaining issues, particularly concerning the water pressure in our kitchen faucet, are not of immediate concern, we trust that Alpine will address them over time. These concerns originated from the initial clogging and replacement on the day of our move-in on May 27th.
  
  My wife and I wish to express our gratitude for the diligent efforts undertaken over the past eight months to restore this property to a Rental-Ready state for our family of four. We recognize the challenges posed by the lack of maintenance reports from previous tenants, coupled with the property being vacant and subject to unauthorized occupants, which exacerbated its condition before our occupancy.
  
  Assuredly, we are committed to maintaining the property as if it were our own. We appreciate the property's transformation to a comfortable living condition and anticipate a continued positive experience.

  
  Regards,
