Sinatra & Company Realty

[redacted],I understand your frustration and concerns.? It is my understanding that a plan was implemented as of yesterday, January 17, 2017.? That plan entailed the distribution of parking stickers, one sticker per apartment, a map with? an assigned parking spot for that tenant and a parking plan.? If there are multiple vehicles per apartment, other arrangements can be made through our office.? This was the only solution that we could put in place that was fair to all our tenants.? If a vehicle is parked in the lot without a sticker, it will be towed.? We hope that putting this plan? in effect immediately, will no longer cause frustration to you or our other tenants.? Sincerely,Jennifer V

We do have a contract that states move in ready as well as stating that their are responsible for the repairs we needed

As we understand some of Ms[redacted] concerns it is our position that the mentioned maintenance issues were corrected, and were done so in a quite appropriate time frame? I have attached the work oders associated with her concerns as backup to this assertion? I spoke to her last week
and confirmed that all of her issues have ben addressed? I apologized to her regarding the issues with her apartment and addressed each one of them with her individually? We discussed how there is still some issue with one radiator in her kitchen (which is quite small and directly adjacent to her living room that has a fully functional radiator? I also spoke to her regarding the situation regarding her old roommate and informed/assured her that the only account that was ever discussed with her previous roommate was the one that they shared together, and also that her account has always been in good standing with the exception the the damage charges? associated? with the previous apartment that she occupied? There was substantial cleaning/damage deducted from their deposit, but because some of Ms[redacted] deposit had been transferred from her old unit to her new one, ? the remaining portion of the whole security deposit was being held to cover the damages in the previous apartment, when she made good on that payment, the? roommates? deposit was sent to herI? encouraged? Ms [redacted] to contact me with any further issues she may have so we can address any and all of them

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Since April 9th I have been calling to complain about the leek coming from my bathroom ceiling and I was told someone would come and fix it. As the days passed by, the leaking in the bathroom has been non stop and has caused for the ceiling in my closet to fall down, which is something I have also complained about that was never fixed. Soon after, I noticed the ceiling in my bedroom also seems to be wet. On Sunday 4/24/16 at 11:44am the ceiling in the bathroom completely fell into the bathtub. I called the emergency line and the maintenance guy came an hour and a half later and told me that he would be able to clean up the mess and also the mess in my closet but they will not be able to fix anything until later on in the week. Yesterday I called the landlord Mathew B[redacted] twice and left a voicemail to discuss this matter and never received a call back.
Regards,

We do not have a leasing agent named Nick on our staff, however, I do see that Ms. [redacted] is in our system as putting in an application.  I do not see any other type of correspondence from her with regard to having her $25 application fee returned.  The application fee is required from all...

applicants.   The type of security deposit agreement that Ms. [redacted] had from Social Services does not pay the security deposit at the start of the Lease; which is required by our company.    We do believe that Ms. [redacted] should have been told that prior to submitting her application and application fee.  As this may not have been the case, Ms. [redacted] will receive a $25.00 refund of her security deposit and it will be mailed to the address shown in Ms. [redacted] correspondence to you.  Thank you.

Unfourtently I no longer have proof of paying the rent. I had payed with a money order. Since we had tthe apartment inspected and spoke to the property manager and was told a check would be coming I did not think that we needed to keep the receipt from the purchase of the money order. They did not...

make this claim at all until recently. I had spoken to Sinatra multiple times asking where the security deposit was and each time they gave me a new excuse. When they realized we payed with money orders they then stated that we didn't pay septembers rent. But like I said they never mentioned it before. We payed octobers rent so why wouldn't we pay septembers and why wouldn't they have called us prior. We have always gone to sinatra and deliverd our payment. They have never once given us a receipt.

We do have a contract that states move in ready as well as stating that their are responsible for the repairs we needed.

As per the complaint number listed above, I am currently trying to locate the payment that [redacted] Harris claims to have made.  As of today, I have not been able to locate a payment in our system.  Previous payments were made by money order with no information written on the money order...

to track.  [redacted] was asked to produce the stub from the money order as proof for her September rent, which she was unable to.  Therefore, the September rent was paid using her deposit that she has requested to be refunded.  We will refund her deposit if a receipt is produced.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

[redacted],I understand your frustration and concerns.  It is my understanding that a plan was implemented as of yesterday, January 17, 2017.  That plan entailed the distribution of parking stickers, one sticker per apartment, a map with an assigned parking spot for that tenant and a parking plan.  If there are multiple vehicles per apartment, other arrangements can be made through our office.  This was the only solution that we could put in place that was fair to all our tenants.  If a vehicle is parked in the lot without a sticker, it will be towed.  We hope that putting this plan in effect immediately, will no longer cause frustration to you or our other tenants.  Sincerely,Jennifer V.

A response to this claim was made 4 weeks ago, unfortunately the ID was given to us incorrectly and the response went to a different complaint.  As previously stated, the tenant was making payments by money order so it is very difficult to trace.  Previous payments made by the tenant were made with no information on the money order as to whom it was from or an apartment address.  We were unable to find the rent as being paid, therefore the deposit was used to cover the rent.  The lessee was unable to produce a receipt of payment.

I have had a chance to speak with both Matt and Lynn on this matter.  I am sorry if [redacted] is dissatisfied with the service he received from Sinatra and Company.  It is my understanding that a shower door was to be installed in the bathroom at the apartment.  Unfortunately, the door...

that was ordered was on back order and would take approximately three weeks until delivery.   [redacted] was notified by our Maintenance Manager that arrangements would be made for installation when it arrived and at no time did [redacted] display dissatisfaction.  A temporary shower rod and curtain were installed, so that he could have use of the shower.  As of today, we have 3 staff members scheduled for Thursday, July 20th to install the doors (apx. three weeks since tenant moved in, as promised).  [redacted] has been notified and agreed to the install date and time.It was also my understanding an incorrect address was given by the tenant to the post office, which has now been rectified, thanks to Ashley who discovered the mistake and notified [redacted] to make the changes.  On July 18th, [redacted] was given the option to move out, and the lease would be terminated without penalty.  Later that day, we received a call from our sub-contractor that [redacted] had violently kicked a 5 gallon paint bucket down the stairs. We try to accommodate all our tenants to the best of our abilities.  I apologize for any stress this may have caused the tenant, but in this case we do feel that we did all we could considering the tenant was aggressive, verbally abusive and irrational at times.  At this time, we feel that allowing the tenant out of his lease without penalty as of July 31, 2017, (pending his July rent has been paid in full and the charge on his credit card has not been stopped), is a fair resolution to this matter to both parties involved.  Please note, the tenant was never without electric, gas, running hot/cold water at any time.

[redacted] 6:12 PM (15 hours ago)to me [redacted]  Thank you. Late Monday afternoon (after I made my complaint), I received my deposit in the mail. Although the check was dated 11/16/2016, the envelop was not post-marked until 12/9/16. I don't know why the company held the check for 3 weeks...

before sending it, but I now have the funds that I've been requesting. The only resolution at this point is perhaps to call them out on not complying with NY state law on returning deposits within a "reasonable time" (defined by the court system as 30-45 days). I leave that to your agency's discretion. I have no interest in doing further business with that company. Thank you for your help on this matter. [redacted]
