European Development

Horrible experience with this company. Purchased a condo re-​hab from them and in the 5 years we are on our third roof repair. Leaks, terrible work, and code violations throughout.
BE CAREFUL!

This is a serious warning to whomever may consider renting an apartment managed by this company (now called «Red Lake Properties, LLC»). This is the worst case of building management neglect that I have ever experienced. They are constantly in direct violation of city ordinance, which requires landlords to make every effort to resolve issues within 14 days or tenants legally have the right to break their lease. It took them over 6 months to repair my BEDROOM ceiling damaged by repeated roof leaks. We were told that there was a working dishwasher in the apartment… which has been unusable from the time we moved in because it is filled with black mold. The heat did not work when we moved in in December and the air conditioning was not in working condition when we turned it on in June. During the winter our «foyer» endured considerable water damage… large icicles hanging from the ceiling and ice coating the wall. It took them around 2 months to «repair» this and they still have not painted over the repaired wall and ceiling. The entire common area of the building wreaks of mildew… so I can only imagine what the inner walls look like.
They did not clean the apartment… I repeat… they did not clean the apartment before we moved in AT ALL. It was nasty… filled with all sorts of dirt and grime left by the previous tenants as well as some strange red substance splashed all over one of the bedroom windows.
Only after 10 months of dealing w/​this company have I been able to contact someone directly on the phone. Their voice mail system clearly does not work and leaving a message on the «emergency» extension seems to do nothing. As far as I can tell there are also NO fire extinguishers in the building which is in direct violation of fire codes. These people take advantage of their low-​income tenant’s apathy and they do not provide the safe living environment that they are required to by city ordinance. They have been a constant source of stress and I would never… ever ever ever… again rent any apartment through this company.
