The service is relatively good, and I appreciate the apartment manager living here at the Gardens…read morein Eureka. I had just relocated to Humboldt for work, and Gardens Apts were just being built, and needing a place to live immediately reserved a unit (I'm 56) Overall, the neighbors are friendly; grounds are well kept and clean, and apartments are updated with desirable appliances and large closets. The location is very convienent, and apartment management has been responsive when needed. Negatives are lack of assigned parking spaces, there is one entrance and the parking spaces (non-assigned) are narrow and most of the residents are challenged with parking. Also due to Humboldt's lack of senior resources and housing, many of the residents are at fall risk, and there are frequent incidents of emergency medical visits to the community. Several have advanced dementia and health risks, in need of assisted living.

Here are the "pros" first: good location and access to parking, and the women who run the main office are responsive. The "cons": the walls in the units are so paper-thin, you will not get a good night's sleep. I could hear my neighbor snoring even while I wore ear plugs and had a white noise machine going at full blast. Eating was also a challenge as the smoke alarms in the unit go off constantly. You cannot even cook a frozen pizza in a spotless oven without the alarms going off. Most people want to sleep and eat in their apartment. These basic functions are impossible. If your pilot light goes off, expect to pay Kramer $50 to turn it back on. Or wait weeks for PG&E to fix it. To top it off, when I moved out, I hired a professional cleaning service, but Kramer charged me a $300 cleaning fee anyway. There was no way to counter that, even though my cleaning service took videos of a spotless apartment. Do yourself a favor and find another place. My new rental costs $100 more and does not have any of these problems; it is ten times bigger and includes a yard. Search a little more and you will find something much more functional and comfortable. Avoid Kramer if you can.

Just got a bill 5 months after our move out, they are billing me for something that they refused to fix during our time renting from them. Be mindful that when dealing with these folks that they have super high turn-over and the right hand often knows little of what the left hand is doing. Henry Hammacher, while I realize this is a new job for you, it may be worth your while to brush up on your customer service a bit. Coming out of left field with a haymaker and a misunderstanding of what really happened in the situation is hardly a good approach. I'd give zero stars if I could. Will not recommend, and this lack of recommendation to my colleages coming into the community is going to sting a bit.

What an excellent realty company to rent from! I started renting from Danco Property Management in…read more1988. Dan Johnson is professional that does care about his tenants or properties. Whomever gave this company one star is obviously disgruntled and you will always find people in the world that are, but it shouldn't blemish the reputation of a company that has spent years building a great reputation for quality service.

Dan himself is the problem. He bullies the victims of his staff instead of taking responsibility…read morefor the actions of his hired staff. His loyalty is misplaced. He owes that loyalty to his tenants. And I agree with Lucille, his business decisions are irresponsible. He leaves properties with dangerous public health violations, like illegally insufficient garbage collection, poor drainage creating toddler drowning hazards, rats, toxic mold, and charges the victims of burglaries for the upgrades in security that he is contractually responsible for. Also, he builds rental properties in places that are not safe. The Courtyard apartments are hit by toxic clouds of gas from the nearby asphalt industry and there are toxic fumes from the diesel trucks on the highway. Low income families who need subsidized housing end up raising kids where they will get sick because of the location chosen by Danco, based on what would be cheapest for them. Additionally, they cut corners on construction, failing to leave dead air space between the floor of the upstairs apartments and the ceiling of the downstairs apartments. This means the downstairs neighbors are living inside of a drum, and the upstairs neighbors are blamed for noise levels that are in no way their fault (like simply walking). Huge feuds result. Furthermore, there is insufficient preparation for a massive earthquake or similar disaster planning. Attempts by tenants to organize water barrel storage for each family are thwarted, as Danco doesn't want to allow families to have emergency stores of water, claiming that it would require them to upgrade their insurance even if tenants paid the cost of the water to fill the barrels. I think that's an immoral decision to condemn low income families to death in case of a disaster, in order to save on insurance, or to avoid having the hassle of applying for a state grant to buy water barrels that no child could fall into because of how they are constructed. Additionally, on site managers are often not screened for IQ, skill, sociopathy, bigotry, or other factors that make them incompetent to do the job they are hired for. Violent tenants that should be evicted are allowed to stay even after they have harmed their first victims, meaning that they are emboldened to commit further violence. Finally, the companies hired to maintain the landscaping prioritize their own convenience over the health, safety, food production, and beauty of the landscaping. They butcher the trees so that their will be less fallen fruit for them to pick up, even if it makes the trees ugly and tiny, and ruins the view from the apartments, as well as the capacity to shield the tenants from toxic fumes. The landscapers are utterly apathetic about that when it is explained to them. They mow the grass more often than it needs because that is easy money for the landscapers, but they don't pick up the trash and dog poop that really needs cleaning up. Danco should not tolerate subcontractors who mistreat the tenants or do such a bad job because it is easier than working harder on what serves the tenants. Fruit trees were donated in order to serve the low income tenants, and they should not be treated like a nuisance, just because they drop fruit on the soil where there is no walkway anyhow. They should be respected and cared for by people who care about the health of the trees and the preferences of the tenants for air quality, beauty, and free fruit. The painting subcontractor was hired because he is an old friend of one of the Danco managers; the subcontractor forced a lower paint quality and bad color choice based on what he had in surplus, regardless of what had been planned and agreed upon. The degree to which bad decisions are made because a bad contractor gets hired as an old friend of someone at Danco, and not because they were the best choice financially or ethically, is part of the mechanism of rot that degrades Danco from the inside out.
