Richard J Bocci Realty

ZERO STARS. Where the hell do I start with this company. First of all if anyone is going to live in 449 E street #3, BEWARE. My parents moved into this property a couple years ago and recently moved out. The only thing that kept them there is the location and the friendly neighbors. The owner of the building comes around and looks through windows and into your unit, which scared the hell out of me and my mom one day and we caught him looking into the living room window and looking in the stuff in the back yard, he probably digs through our garbage as well. That is very unacceptable PERIOD. By law you must give the tenant 24 hours notice to come to the unit. This exact property is an ant farm, there isn’t a garbage disposal and there is MOLD.
Deposit — Bocci robs people for their deposit. They will charge anything and everything they can even if you paid for it to get done already. For the backyard to be cleaned will cost you $ 30 bucks a month, Bocci will charge you $ 350 out of your deposit to get it cleaned after you move out. SERIOUSLY!!! Straight up robbed my parents. They were never late on rent or barely complained, but the owner of the building complains about anything and everything. We got the place cleaned professionally and even painted but they ended up charging for painting and cleaning again. Out of $ 1,700 we only got $ 800 bucks back.
BEWARE SERIOUSLY THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS.

Bocci is a very Respected — Recognized –Business. –That has been doing Business for over 75 years in San Francisco – All work I’ve done for R. Bocci-​He has always treated me-​and all my employees very well-He’s very fair-​respectful —

I will delete this review as soon as they give my deposit back. The manager of the property CLEARLY told me that I could leave with a 2 weeks notice. However, the lease did say that I needed to give a 30 day notice; however, the manager miscommunicated this to me. The reason I am complaining is because the manager is clearly the employee of Richard J Bocci Realty and you guys are not taking responsibility for your employee. He told me in front of people to pay 2 weeks worth of rent and that’s what I did.
The property, however, charged me for a month and deducted that from my deposit. Here are why I should get the check back. I have evidence in text messages and from people who heard the manager tell me that I could leave in 2 weeks. Also, I lived here for 2.5 years and have NEVER paid a rent amount less than the actual rent. When I paid 2 weeks worth of rent, they NEVER notified me. I also returned MY KEYS when I moved out. Why didn’t they contact me then to ask me why I am moving out so early? The manager clearly knew I was moving out but he is currently lying to the realty that he never told me to move out in 2 weeks.
If you are Richard J. Bocci, please contact me using Unilocal.I am currently in the process of talking to Nick Bocci but he is not trying to help at all. If this does not get erased, DO NOT LIVE HERE. They try to scam and take your deposit.

Mr. Richard J. Bocci Realty aka Bocci Realty have been around for over 25 years in Daly City. The owner Richard Bocci who I had the pleasure to meet was professional and just starting his realty company (1988). I hope Mr. Bocci is still over seeing his real estate company because he is the best! Twenty-​Five years is a long time… to be in the business. He has strong stability.

My brother whom I was helping search for apartments went and viewed an apartment that was posted on craiglist. He called as soon as it was posted. Viewed it after work and loved it. He asked what does he need to do to get it. He was directed to call Bocci’s office. He then gave the office a call and the lady he spoke to told him to bring in the application the next morning with a deposit. He was there first thing in the morning with his application and deposit in hand. The lady at the front (not the one he originally spoke with) told him, oh I am sorry but the apartment is rented already. He was a bit confused as he was told to come with everything in the morning. She said, sorry another person really liked it and is coming at noon with a deposit. He explained his conversation with the other lady and said I am here with my deposit. She said well is your credit good, and he said there is nothing on it and she was like, ya I am sorry it’s taken. He then called the office and was able to speak with the lady from the night before. After having the same conversation with her as the other lady, she pretty much told him the same thing. «Things happen». I have worked in commercial real estate, brokerage and property management, and this is NOT how you run a business. I am amazed at how this business and office is run and I sure hope Mr. Bocci looks into how things are run.
