In November 2019 I complete 2 years of living in this place, I justified a lot of things because of…read morehow cheap the apartments are. When I moved in I was asked if I had pets and I said no because at the time I didn't, I signed my contract and stupidly never read it completely. Weeks into living in this places I saw several tenants with animals, dogs of different sizes and cats. I assumed it was allowed because I continued to see people walk there dogs and come in and out of there place. NOT TO MENTION the fact that there is a new litter of kittens born every moth, so there is an abundance of wild cats and pigeons everywhere. My dog does not bark, he is crate trained and doesn't make messes and I've ALWAYS cleaned up after him because he is my responsibility. In the 1 1/2 years that I've had him no one has ever complained because we have been respectful. Funny enough management saw my dog and failed to see everyone else's pet. They want me to get rid of him as if he is a peace of furniture, letting me know that I am violating the contract by having pets. I have him for emotional support and explained to the property manager Eduardo that I was very sorry and that my lease is up in 3 months, I've kept the apartment in great conditions because I'm a clean freak. I expressed that I'm willing to pay extra until my three months are up because I don't want to be homeless and I'm really trying to work with him but he has been rude and has threatened to evict me unless I get rid of my support dog. I've been a perfect tenant always paid on time and never complained for the piles of garbage that accumulate in the apartment complex or the fact that during the winter it's a hazard to get out of your home because of the snow and they don't clean up. Last winter/spring we had a storm and trees were blocking entrances and stairs and it took them 3 MONTHS to have a tree company remove the massive trees. As a human being I am begging to be released from my lease or at least remain here for the last three months of my lease! I haven't slept in days and I almost ended up at the hospital the other day because I had a panick attack due to the thought of being homeless. MANAGEMENT HAS THREATENED TO MAKE ME PAY FOR EVERY MONTH UNTIL MY LEASE IS UP BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO LET ME OUT OF THE CONTRACT AND WILL FOLLOW WITH THE EVICTION NOTICE. I can't handle it anymore and all I ask is for a little compassion, PLEASE BE CAREFUL BEFORE RENTING WITH THEM.

I just moved in, on August 1st. Already having bad experiences. The complex community it's self…read morelooks run down and the parking is a nuisance. It's narrow, dangerous while backing out because some people drive as if they were filming fast and furious. The materials used to make these apartments must be very cheap. The floor was dirty when we moved in. The top lock doesn't seem to work. The bathroom is very small. And the toilet takes forever to work! Worst of all, we put a few items on the balcony and there is a sanctuary of pigeon poop all over it. The smell is terrible. The sanctuary was made into a pigeon nest as well. So now, there are babies. Do not get me wrong, I'm not for killing animals. But a heads up before moving in would have been nice. Or at least some effort in clean up. My family and I are even a bit disgusted turning on the AC because of all the bird poop around it. Barely a week here, new to the community and we are definetely looking forward for the year to pass quickly to NOT renew the lease!

Scotch Plains Gardens Hot Water Problems : For several…read moremonths now the hot water have been going off everyday. Morning, Afternoon and at night. This is a constant problem here, at this location. This complex use to have hot water all the time, however things have taken a turn for the worse.. Several tenants including myself have reached out to the Management office, we left messages, texts. We have reached out to the on Call the Super by calling and via text messages . There has not been any response ever from the On Call Super(Maintenance person). Jose who is a Super here at the location is Always willing and assisting in doing whatever it takes to get the job done. Jose goes out his way to make sure there is hot water and anything any tenants may call him for, and he is not the on call Super. Its been very frustrating that a simple problem and and ongoing problem is not being taken seriously or fixed with some urgency.

The building overall is fine, but I wouldn't move in so long as Lori runs it. I lived there for…read morefifteen years, just having escaped there last month. The first fourteen years or so were fine, as my neighbor was fine. A new couple moved in, and they were the neighbors from hell. Whenever I complained to her about their cigarette smoke wafting through the walls or their loud music being played at all hours, Lori would just dismiss my concerns as being "apartment living." But what was really abhorrent is what just happened. After Hurricane Ida, my car and phone were totalled. I went to the office hoping that someone could give me a lift to the Verizon store. Lori refused, claiming that it was a liability issue. As a lawyer, I'm confident that the liability is microscopic at most. But when I asked for a few numbers of cabs, she gave me a couple, and when those didn't work, she told me that she was too busy to find more. Now keep in mind that I lived there for a decade and a half, which translates to having spent HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS there. This witch with a capital B suggested that I walk the two miles to the store, mere hours after barely surviving a deadly storm. Left with no alternative, I did that. And now I've left the apartment complex. Just something to keep in mind when considering moving in here. Afterall, if this is how they treat someone who's lived here for a decade and a half, how are they going to treat someone whom they barely know? If you do decide to move here, GOOD LUCK.

Since I have moved in, I have had the maintenance people in my apartment over 25 times, by the way there are only 2 people on the maintenance team for over 400 apts in 2 buildings. They came into my apartment to fix the toilets that didn't flush and had to be replaced. The hot water was not working in the 2nd bedroom and was never connected. The air-conditioning closet had holes that lead to the outside so they patched it with foam and never fixed it. They said that is all they can do now that the building was finished. We had the windows in the living room and master bedroom replaced because once you opened them they would not shut. They had to cut a hole in our master bedroom ceiling because the air-conditioned was not connected to the main unit in the closet that was exposed to the outside. We had to have our washing machine replaced because it was defective. Our Dishwasher does not work even though they said they fixed it. The closet doors in our 2nd bedroom don't close correctly because of the poor construction. The gym is filthy all of the time, The hall way walls look like a child used the wrong colors to paint them and they are all marked up and never repainted. See the pictures. The main lobby is filthy and the mail room is not monitored for packages, I have had things that were delivered but never made it to me. You never know when something comes in and the room is filthy with packages thrown everywhere. The outside of the building has garbage all over the place and no matter how many times I tell ISABEL the property manager nothing gets done. She yeses you to death and does nothing . The rest of the staff is very unfriendly and don't even say hello when you walk right past them. I have written multiple emails that go unanswered and have left voice mails that don't get returned for days on end. Lastly there are two residential houses directly behind the building one has 5 dogs the other has 2. They are outside barking all day and night . We cant sleep at night and they are noisy all day. We have complained to the building and the town of Plainfield 15 times over the last year and nothing has been done. The dog owners in the back have been seen with rifles shooting animals out of their trees. We fear that bullets will come through our windows. The staff is non responsive and they constantly say they have to speak to corporate and nothing comes from it. All we ask is to be let out of our lease so we can move on to a less stressful, clean and well kept environment. What do you think the building management says?? Of course they say no and if we break our lease we will have to pay thousands of dollars in penalties. Like I said in the beginning DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING, YOU WILL REGRET IT! Jeff D.

If you or someone you know is thinking of leasing an apartment within this community, I must advise…read moreagainst that decision! If you are white or Hispanic the "Community Manager", Denise Fisher, will not give you the time of day. I had two very negative, recent interactions with her (8/15/19, 8/20/19 respectively) and by the end of each my cousin, my friends, and myself were all completely offended by her very unprofessional conduct. To boot, the way she carries herself implies she has no interest in speaking with you which makes actually doing business very difficult and it only gets worse. At one point she actually stopped the "interview" to scold and lecture me about the quality of person she believes me to be as well as who they allow to reside within their complex. However, it was not until one of my friend's spoke up in my defense that she even snapped at her with the air that she did not want a white woman speaking in her presence. My second interaction with Denise Fisher was the icing on the cake. I had gone back with my cousin to do further business and not 10 minutes later Denise was practically chasing us out of the leasing office with a smile on her face as she threatened to call police on us. However, it was her assumption that my cousin was or would be homeless considering her "bad attitude" that finally made me explode and I told her that her customer service attitude was trash. To conclude these negative interactions, my cousin and myself reached out to the parent company of the Leland Gardens Apartments, Conifer, who equally did not seem to care about the poor manner in which Denise Fisher treated us. Heed mine and the warnings of others and stay away! It would seem that Conifer shares the very seem mislead values and beliefs which drive Denise Fischer's discrimatory hate of other cultures.
