PLEASE NOTE: My review is for 300 Riverfront. UPDATE: NOTHING HAS CHANGE! The new construction…read moresite. Complete joke. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! There are so many new and up and coming properties in Bergen County that give you more bang for your buck. They have moved people in with ongoing construction. Many residents complain about their apartment having leaks. None of the appliances work. There is not one "luxury" detail here. Cars have been stolen in the covered parking areas. Residents do not clean up after their dogs. Residents have complained to me that they hear gun shots from the shooting range that is on the property. The building has no number out front so packages are constantly lost. Management send messages on the butterfly app that make you feel like you are residing in a dorm. Constantly telling you they will enter your apartment. Fire alarm goes off daily. Elevator makes this loud screeching sound when ever used. Cops always on property due to residents fighting mind you this property opened Dec 2022. No cameras to see who stole vehicles. Cameras are in front of the building and in common areas (mostly used to stalk residents) No trash cans on property. Peter is rude and mike sends messages with Mike the owner when making threats after you complain. Management question visits if they are on the lease or ask who they are visiting (This is not converge service the building has none). $3200 for a 2 bed 2ba to hear drilling Monday - Saturday from 6a - 6p 6 days a week. Construction workers park any and everywhere. No amenities are available yet. They promised us March 2023. Pool might hold 10 people comfortably when it is finished with construction. Grill area does not exist. "dog walk" is a sh!t show literally no one cleans after their dog. Management wants you to put in work order through them via email instead of maintenance or portal. Save your time and money. Can't wait until my lease is up. They also accept low income housing / Section 8 here. They recently got rid of house keeping so now the maintenance woman has to clean the entire building on top of completing repairs. (They work her like a dog) She does building 300 along with 301 & 400. You will see "Mike the Owner" lurking from the new leasing office in building 300 just watching residents. I will continue to update as time goes on. Hoping other residents write reviews to EXPOSE the BS. I'm almost certain they will have a class action lawsuit for FRAUD!!! Oh and "Mike the Owner" is a lawyer who believes he is above the law perfect fit for a SLUM LORD!!!

The building is old and antiquated and it shows but especially in comparison to other buildings on…read moreProspect Street. From from the moment you enter the lobby and then visit the floors, you will see just how shabby, unkept and rundown it is. For nearly two years there has been massive construction throughout the parking area with no end date in sight. Not only are you subject to jackhammering 8 hours/day from 8am to 4pm but the dust has encapsulated everything. Please see the plethora of complaints on all review boards. Because of the ongoing construction parking is severely limited so you are forced to valet your car leaving the tenants furious and irate. There is no guest parking and therefore valet charges all the visitors $5/hour. There is more than ample reason the building is never at full occupancy as the turnover rate is enormous, rightfully so. There is only ONE washer and dryer per floor for 18 apartments which break constantly caused by the overloading. They have outsourced the machines to a private company in order not to deal with it and instruct the tenants to use another floor. Tenants are apoplectic especially when their clothes are trapped in standing water. Management has absolutely no regard for tenants inconveniences. NONE! The front desk staff are nothing more than potted plants who do nothing more than press a button to open the doors ONLY if you don't open it. Half the time no one is even at the front desk. They are either upstairs, leave to get food and or asleep so anyone can enter the building. Security is non-existent. The garbage rooms on floors are beyond disgusting. People throw trash on the floor with food still in it. There are complaints of mice and roaches and nothing is done to correct the ongoing problem. Nothing is ever washed and/or steam cleaned. Carpets, garbage rooms, etc. One tenant described her floor like living in the slums, it's so disgusting No rules for dog owners and several tenants allow their dogs to urinate right outside the front door in the rotunda. Others tenants allow their dogs to urinate directly outside the side door and also defecate in the garage. Dogs urinate on both the front and side lawns and bushes, rather than simply using the opposite part of the sidewalk. There is no handicap ramp in the lobby which is a violation. You have to go through the garage to the side door in order to avoid the stairs. This is an enormous hassle coming home with groceries as the concierge just sit there. Even more precarious is trying to maneuver a stretcher down these stairs as the emergency vehicles are unable to access the side door because of the low clearance. The elevators are extremely small and can only accommodate four people. Your moving company will charge overtime for the extra trips it will require in addition to not being able to fit any large furniture. The tenants all denigrate the building manager James Mason. If excuses were an Olympic sport, this management team would take home the Gold Medal leaving you exhausted with his loquaciousness when it comes to addressing any problems. His excuses are so banal and outrageous they're devoid of all reality. Many tenants are so exasperated and furious by James behavior, they use expletives to describe him. The overall condition of the building can be attributed to his total incompetence as a property manager. It is so filthy dirty and disgusting it will leave your skin crawling. Give the plethora of newer, well maintained apartments throughout Hackensack and Bergen County, I could nor would I ever live at The Pierre. Don't take my word for it but rather inspect the entire building thoroughly to observe first hand how long overdo a complete and total renovation is. The building is a pigsty, just look at filthy stained furniture in the lobby and the inside of the elevators before inspecting the basement, garage, floors, laundry rooms and especially the garbage area's. You'll gag! There are also rats by the Luxor lockers as they are kept outside in a covered area.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!! All of the posts here about the construction are true. It's absolutely…read moreunbearable and the management barely even acknowledges that the tenants are being inconvenienced. The noise is loud even on the upper floors, and intolerable on the lower floors. The building is filled with dust. Also, the elevators are constantly out of service and the hallways stink of pot smoke. Maybe in a year or so when the construction ends there will be some improvement, but don't count on it.

The price of this place is not worth it at all. Here for 2 and a half years now and I can't wait to…read morebe able to move. The elevators smell like weed most of the time and sometimes it smells like pee or poop most likely from pets. People walk their dogs in the garage so it smells like pee there too and there's always trash on the floor. I think management needs to enforce the rules more when it comes to smoking in the building and not cleaning up after pets. Something is always falling apart in the apartment but maintenance responds quickly. When it rains heavily water seeps in the window and causes the paint to chip. Maintenance has fixed this twice but it's still happening. One of the doors to the garage is constantly broken and whenever it is fixed sometimes the fob key doesn't work to open it. I could go on about more but the point is the cost to live here is not worth it.

Adults males can urinate outside on the parking lot and management did nothing about it. Also, I have already 3 packages stolen from my apartment exit.

The management replaced the door and painted molded places in the bathroom. Unfortunately a few month later after I moved in, the mold was back in my bathroom. I have 9 years old daughter who suffers from allergy and asthma. I was forced to move before my lease has expired. Victoria April, 2015 Dear Steven, Thank you for your reply. The smell of the mold it's very dangerous and you need to hire a special MOLD INSPECTION company instead of maintenance staff to find out where the mold exist! Also talking about the Black Dust in my apartment outside and inside it's Fair Lawn Commons responsibility to change filters and keep the balcony clean! Using the Clorox: you will be very surprised but for the people who is taking daily asthma medication it's not a good idea to use CLOROX!!!! Also my bathroom painted before I moved there. The mold show up after I moved there. It was not my request. My request was the smell of the mold and visible mold on the sliding door! The door was replaced by maintenance. The smell of the mold is still exist ! THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS FULL OF THE ANIMAL HAIR AND NEVER HAS BEEN CLEAN! All black dust is coming inside from the outside. The filter located inside of the apartment is black. Thank you.

I applied for an apartment at 25 Riverbend and had a deeply frustrating experience!…read more The written application agreement states that applicants must either show sufficient stable income or savings equal to 36× the monthly rent. I have well over 36× the rent in savings and provided documentation. In addition, I submitted an official offer letter from my future employer confirming my position and start date. Despite clearly meeting the financial requirement, Pedro Garcia continued to demand repeated employment verification. I complied in good faith, providing HR contacts, onboarding team email proof and direct contact, start date confirmation, and facilitating direct outreach from my future employer yesterday. While I was waiting on Pedro's update throughout the day today. Dave took over my application, I was shockingly told that, based on his "findings," I was considered an "ILLEGAL RESIDENT" with a FAKE SSN! At that point, what had already been a difficult application process escalated into an extremely serious and deeply concerning matter. I am a U.S. citizen and explicitly disclosed this in my application. A baseless allegation of this nature--especially coming from a leasing representative--is not only offensive but raises significant concerns about potential DISCRIMINATORY conduct!!! I personally felt intimidated during the conversation, as it was conveyed in a manner that suggested potential immigration consequences if I did not comply with his demands. Applicants deserve to be evaluated based on the written criteria and treated with professionalism and respect.

This place both literally and figuratively stinks. As if the air quality in the town of Harrison…read morewasn't stifling enough, you walk into the apartment building seeking shelter from the repulsiveness only to get smacked in the nostrils by the stench of people cooking with their doors open. That's actually a violation in the lease agreement but management doesn't seem to give a crap about rules. Here are a pile of other gems off the top of my head: - Random fire alarms in the middle of the night. I've been stuck outside so many times in freezing temperatures in pajamas for negative alarms that I've actually established a routine for this: Get in my air-conditioned car and drive off to wait it out. I felt so clever doing it only to realize that wait, I shouldn't even have to do this at 3 in the morning. - Dumbasses who don't know how to turn off car alarms. I recall one especially terrible weekend where there was a busted-up vehicle that had its alarm going off every 15 minutes. 48+ straight hours in an apartment facing the open parking deck with an alarm blazing. I'd call it a nightmare but there was no sleep during that entire time. - By the way, pick your poison: Choose an apartment facing the parking deck with people revving their annoying Tokyo-drift vehicles in the middle of the night and people playing that corny, loud-ass game with throwing that 10-pound ball on the ground OR an apartment facing the pool where unauthorized guests scream all day and night throughout the summer months. I can't imagine the outward facing rooms being much better - The Con-Ed gates beep annoyingly throughout the day. - People leaving their patio doors open with their loud-ass dogs barking at everything they see - Poorly insulated walls/ceilings/windows: Neighbors generally don't give a shit about how loudly they play their music, even at night. As for ceiling insulation, I don't know what's worse: the sound of kids running all day or some drunk stumbling into the apartment while wearing heels. Remember, this is also really close to EWR - you're gonna hear airplanes ALL day EVERY day. - Crap parking deck security. In the years I've lived there, my parked car has been hit by someone who doesn't deserve a license and on a separate occasion had the roof vandalized. I've also had two bicycles TIED UP in the garage and were still stolen. The security cameras were useless and management just shrugged it off - Why the hell am I paying a premium for the parking deck then? - The trash chute system is a joke. For those who are environmentally conscious, pressing the recycling button doesn't do anything - everything goes in the trash. I'm deeply regretful that I lived there for years with an entire community that doesn't have the means to recycle. - Other crap that I won't get into since it's giving me a headache just thinking about them: Stolen mail (federal offense that management won't even help you out with), street shutdowns during events at Red Bull, flooding in the area, slow garage doors (Steel Works across the street takes 2 seconds to open, why does this one take 15?!!) Don't fall for the glamor of being next to a station that goes to NYC. I remember about a decade ago when maybe 1 or 2 people would get on the train at the Harrison Station. I left the area last year and often had to wait for less-packed trains to pass before I could get on one. It's gonna get worse: New buildings are sprouting in the area and over a dozen new high-rises have been approved for construction at Grove Street. It'll be near impossible to get on a train. Tip: Look forward to owning a house
