G J Property Services Inc

I’ve lived in the building on Broadway for a few years now and have not had any issues when it comes to dealing with the (new) Manager of the building or GJ themselves. I’ve raised issues that were addressed/​fixed/​replaced in a timely manner and any concerns I’ve voiced have been responded to. Will continue to live here as the area is great, the building is kept up and the Manager is responsive. If she cannot get you a satisfactory response or solution, she escalates it and it gets taken care of.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would!
RENTER BEWARE!
This is a SECOND-​RATE, CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, and INCREDIBLY GREEDY, GREEDY, GREEDY management (a term I use VERY loosely!) outfit!
They will make everything look attractive and «kept up,» but you will learn it’s all about AESTHETICS, not FUNCTION with them.
Yep, that will take you all of about 3 days after you have made the MAJOR mistake of moving into one of their «pretty» dumps.
They will put down the crappiest, CHEAPEST «pile» carpet you have ever had the misfortune to watch while it lays FLAT — all to one side — in your apartment.
And NO! It is NOT possible to make it stand up. Forget THAT! NOT happening… EVER! It will be FOREVER matted down and HORRIBLY CHEAP looking…
FACE IT. There is NOTHING you can do, no amount of vacuuming or «shoes off at the door» practices will fix it.
It’s CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP CRAP and THAT’S THAT. You are just STUCK with their CHEAP SHITcarpet… DEAL WITH IT YOU PIECE OF GARBAGE RENTER!
You will sign a half-​inch of papers when you move in, agreeing to a million restrictions.
HOWEVER…
You will NOT sign ANYTHING stating you will pay extra if you SMOKE in their SHITTY apartment. There will be NO MENTION of having to pay extra if you smoke…
Instead, they will SCREW YOU out of your deposit!
_​The building «manager» (whose only «management» equates to COLLECTING RENT!), will tell you on your «moving out inspection,» that your apartment will «probably» have to be «bombed» cuz it «smells like cigarettes in here.»
WELL…I WOULDN’T HAVE SMOKED IN HERE IF YOU RIPOFF AGENTS WOULD HAVE TOLD ME UPON MOVING IN THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ON THE WAY OUT!
I would have challenged it in small claims court, but I moved 1000 miles away.
ONE DAY, SOMEONE WILL… And they are going to LOSE. Just a matter of time till their HUBEROUS catches up with them in the legal system.
The building «managers» have PET tenants, who can do NO wrong too… Those tenants who do EXTREMELY IRRITATING things to INTENTIONALLY annoy the other tenants and no matter HOW MANY times you relay their CRAPPY behavior, NOTHING changes — or EVER will, cuz they are «PALS».
Pets is pets… THAT’S IT.
GET USED TO IT, YOU SCUMBAG RENTER! And KEEP YOUR CONSTANTLY ON-​TIME RENT-​PAYING MOUTH S-​H-​U-​T! NOBODY wants to hear from YOU!!!
Your cabinet doors might fall off the wall and you report it, but who cares? GJ can’t be bothered with THAT! Just live with it you piece of crap renter!
The carpeted steps leading your apartment are FILTHY, covered with dirt and tree debris, but don’t expect US to have anyone EVER come by to vacuum them! Well, that might cost us $ 20!
And the all time MOST B.S. secret «policy» of theirs (which is yet ANOTHER one they won’t tell you about until their move out inspection!)…
There will be a WHITE GLOVE inspection on the day you turn over the keys! If everything isn’t to their liking, you will be CHARGED for cleaning, which is deducted from your deposit!
I’ve never lived ANYWHERE in Long Beach whre the management company didn’t have a cleaning crew on their payroll to clean after a tenant moves out! CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP!
Stay away from GJ… You will regret renting from them!

Beware if you don’t want an eviction on your record.
I’ve talked to some local attorneys and this place
Is notorious for evicting people with short notice.
I’ll write a review later of more details, this company
Did not tell the truth and cost me a lot of money.
The summary report and Balances due do not
Reflect correct dollar amounts.

This property management company served me (single mother of one, student and working two jobs) a sixty days notice because of my two (under 6 pound) registered service dogs. They’re currently under investigation by the Long Beach Health Department regarding the excessive mold, that they continue to cover up. The Long Beach Police department, drug task force, is investigating due to the 3 garages they rent out to individuals dealing drugs (that are NOT tenants). They are being served a class action law suit with 8 current tenants and fourteen previous tenants, regarding neglect… One case ending in death. This company will be bankrupt by 2016. Do not move here. Please contact me if you have had any similar experiences and I can forward you the attorneys contact information.
Leanne, the supposed property manager is a terrible human. She often refers to herself as a Christian, in order to get the sale. I won’t say anything more about her. It would be a total waste of energy.
In response to Don…
I’m glad that you’re admitting my eviction, finally. Originally, all they would say is they just decided not to renew my contract. Your outstanding reputation? Seems that your tenants would say otherwise. If anyone needs confirmation regarding my «allegations,» please contact me. I can show you records from the city and state. Also, the pictures don’t lie. Disgusting facility owned by greedy men and run by a pathetic manager who’s husband flipped me off at the grocery store. Real classy.

I think they moved and the building is on Clark now. I just reviewed a horrible management company so I thought it appropriate to review one that I like. I have been with GJ for about 4 years now. All managers I have had the pleasures of working with have been professional and accommodating. If something needs repairing its gets repaired very quickly in both buildings I lived in. If something is happening on the property they properly notify. Both buildings I have lived in have been very nicely maintained, even when I lived in the gritty part of town. Gj still puts money into the look of the building, we had a beautiful green belt/​courtyard I miss and loved. Perhaps they are picky with the owners they choose to represent. I believe that this makes good business sense since an owner has to be willing to put money back into their buildings. Either way when we decided to move from, my beloved courtyard building that truly felt like home, we stayed with GJ because we trusted they would stick with the same standards in all their buildings. So far so good.
P. S. When I drive around Long Beach and I see a building managed by a services, GJ’s always has great looking complexes. Check it out yourself. the plaques are usually have a brown plaque on the side of the buildings.
