Emeric-Goodman Building

I’ve lived here for over 6 months, and i love it. it’s clean, remodelled, the location is perfect, and the manager Gavin has met every need of mine. I am even allowed to keep my cat! highly recommended.

I did not want to start on Unilocal like this but Beware of what will happen to you as a tenant here! The slumlord Alan, promises you the world to get you moved in and then you move in to a nightmare. The manager seems to be an ok guy but he is helpless to the slumlords ways and antics. It takes months and months of going back and forth with emails trying to get them to fix your basics like a fridge!!! Some tenants have gone with out their appliances being fixed for months. I know because I was one of the people he called to fix appliances there. He asked me to stall the repairs, and to make up fake invoices. Shady, shady character. Did I mention that he is racist and did not pay us for work finished there. See my post under «Alan Wofsy «Stay away!

The bad vibes started when the owner emailed us instructions in the afternoon to wire money into his account by the next morning. Mind you, we were from out of town and our bank had already closed. We lived a grand total of a few hours in this building. The entire apartment’s carpet had the stench of animal urine. After we brought this up to the manager, the owner begrudgingly offered to put in the typical laminate flooring with a price increase of $ 100 a month. The manager was a good guy who helped us out of the lease, wrote us a refund check, and returned our financial documents promptly.
Research the owner before renting from him, he seems to be very active in pursuing landlord rights. I just wish parties like this would put in the same effort to maintain their buildings.
