Goldfarb Properties

cheap management and poor living environment

When you are trying to get an apartment, the staff are so RUDE. They speak with major attitude problem. One thing for sure this place needs to learn, is that clients are always right. I witnessed 2 staff members arguing about what’s right in front of a client. This place needs friendlier and willing to help kind of staff. If I were to upload the treatment my fiancé and I received and send it to the media, then maybe they would get their act together. They should be ashamed! The lines are always busy, my application was lost, they are always short staffed, I can only imagine what tenants might be going through. I bet if I walked in with a collar shirt with blue eyes and cuff links that costed more then their whole salary, they’ll treat me with respect. Do not rent from these people! They will degrade you when speaking with you based on your looks when trying to obtain an apartment.
Not to mention the new buildings on grand concourse could run you roughly $ 1675 a month for a 1 bedroom with a balcony. Let’s talk about the area: POVERTY level is HIGH and as a city employee who services the homeless population, this particular building is in between dozens of buildings that are housing homeless families/​single adults. To be exact, more and more landlords are giving up apartments over to the city where the city is paying around 3K a month for 1 unit. And the area near BRONX Lebanon hospital, well if you’re from the Bronx, you would know. Drug addicts are always nearby! The train station next to the building is dangerous at night since the city lights aren’t very helpful. So if I wanted to park my Mercedes on the streets, chances are I will wake up to a half assed vehicle one day, which will make you pay $ 250 a month for parking in the building with goldfarb.
So if you want to calculate… $ 1675 with $ 250 parking. Will run you $ 1975 to live on 1770 grand concourse. I saw many families walk out completely disappointed that their income didn’t match the criteria to qualify. However, future tenants, don’t feel bummed about it.
Many buildings in between belong to the city, I have a complete list! The security will not save you from your night walks, and eventually what will happen is this, you will realize it’s only a rental, not yours. In the end, you could’ve bought an apartment!

I’m still waiting for them to fix the intercoms. I’m not sure why but they make REALLY loud sounds for hours at a time. It’s one of the many things that doesn’t work right and makes A LOT of noise. So loud you won’t sleep passed 9am on a weekend.
The mailboxes in the lobby have no labels (it must be too much work to match the tenant with the apartment they’re paying over 2K a mo to live in).
I was told by Dina when I signed a lease I would get a new door like they had at the leasing agent; Instead, they painted over my door. Still does not lock right (I wanted a new lock but she said i would get an entirely new door) and the paint job looks like an amateur did it.
I will update the Unilocal community on any progress as I note it. Please feel free to ask me anything about 2160 matthews because I am getting tired seeing how they start a million things and never finish anything the way they say they will.
Do not sign a lease with them until everything they say they’ll do they do BEFORE you move in. Or I promise, like me, you’ll wonder why you chose to live in such a poorly managed dump because you believed they’d provide you with they said they would.
