Slumlord Millionaires!: SALLs is terrible.
SALLS is terrible. 9 Seminary Ave - Binghamton Alumni
I fixed extensive plaster water damage in the bathroom. I repainted this and another entire room (second was unlivablely smelly and smoky). Replaced lock on the rear exit to the apartment, none existed when I moved in. Entire 12-apartment building was on the same thermostat--at 78 degrees!
Our fridge totally quit; I called SALLs immediately. Their appliance guy was great, there within hours. To their credit, they decided to straight-out replace it, instead of fooling with spot-treatment fixes. BUT they said they’d meet me and Olum’s the next day at the apartment. I skipped class for nothing and burned 11 hours of my time. SALLs guys no-showed. Only by calling Olums delivery department directly did I have any idea of what to expect. We lost over $70 worth of food as a result of SALL’s disorganization and inability to follow through.
Whenever I talked with them it was ALWAYS: "You know, we have over 400 apartments. You're not our only apartment." Huh. Guess what, to me (with a reasonable amount of understanding) I AM their only apartment. Get more staff or divest some places, simple, since you obviously can’t keep up with your sh*t.
BEWARE: Their leases end on the 25th of the last month. Unless you have another flexible place to move into then, where are you going to go until the 31st/1st? NOTE: Took 3 MONTHS and a week for them to return my deposit! I got: "You know, we have over 400 apartments" and "We lost your file" and "My hands are tied." Worse is that we left the place clean, in turnkey, move-in shape, with many improvements.
Maximize profit (Millionaire); minimize the amount of maintenance and service (Slumlord) to renter-clients.
Fantastic water pressure; unlimited hot water. Free heat, nice if you like it 78 and cold as h*ll when they turn off the heat before it's legal to do so by City ordinance. You get what you pay for—and pay for what you get. Stay FAR away.
