Goldfarb Properties

Please i beg of you, as a human being with, regards to my fellow human beings DO NOT RENT FROM GOLDFARB PROPERTIES. I was a tenant for over eight years only to, become disabled 5 years into residing due to a seriou job related injury. As result i no longer was able to work deemed as PERMANENT DISABLED. Being ssd became my source of income with no regards or human emotions they (goldfarb) only continued to increase my rent yearly. The end result i was forced out unable to pay additional thousand dollor increase yes you read correctly (ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR LEASE RENEWAL INCREASE).My current status a disabled, former city employee which serviced over 15 yrs who is now homeless as a result of Goldfarb Properties greed. May God Have Mercy on their souls…

Goldfarb doesn’t look out for Spanish they have high turnover is a huge problem with heat with people paying a lot of money and they don’t seem to care I wouldn’t recommend anybody to do anything for go kart for the management team is the worst they don’t get back to you that will prepare you would think that their mom and pop shop. If you see a golf on name on any properties I would run.

Horrible management and communication. Very disrespectful and short with people.

Worst management company ever. Not helpful, extremely rude receptionist, and the places are shit. Don’t RENT FROM THEM SAVE YOURSELF
I wish I had read these reviews before renting from them would of saved me alot of horrible stressful times.

The individuals who owns the company and are employed by the company are creatures beyond description. The reviews are dead on about the way Tenants are treated, and they do Discriminate and refused to approve those lawyers because they have have knowledge of the Law and they could not get away doing to them what they do to other Tenants. Money should not be allowed to let individuals get away with Heinous acts committed against their Tenants and the Court should not sell the «Black List» to landlords (for $ 20-​$ 25,000.00 — many are unaware that the List exists) to be used against Tenants who stands up for their Rights — Senator Liz Kruger is fighting against this invasion of Privacy, unless money changes her position on the matter. The List warns prospective landlords that you are an individual who will demand what you deserve because you are paying your Rent. The grounds are kept up, but inside the apartments many issues such as Mold, Mice, Cracked Ceilings, and Roaches exist that the owner ignores. Queens Housing Court is not the place to go for justice because Money has definitely made upholding the Law insignificant when it comes to the Rights of the Victims. The Israel Brothers recently discovered that money doesn’t always cover up Injustice. There is Strength in Numbers, so keep standing up for your Rights.

HORRIBLE. I lived in their apartment on Woodycrest for one year, and it was the worst year of my life. Constant mice despite my numerous requests to have an exterminator come, elevator never worked, intercom doesn’t work, and the management company is horrendous, especially the office manager Dina.
Also, they WILL discriminate against you, so be prepared for that. Despite my boyfriend and I having credit scores over 700 and making more than 40x times the rent, they denied us an apartment in one of their new buildings allegedly because our student loans were too high… even though I already lived in their building on Woodycrest and paid my rent on-​time every month! They denied us for one or both of the following reasons: my boyfriend and I are both lawyers and they don’t want people knowing about their illegal business practices, and/​or the color of my skin, and they only want a certain type of people to live in their new building. Once they denied us, I refused to renew my lease with them because the thought of giving these people another dime made me sick. And if you think I’m exaggerating, read these articles…
DON’T LIVE IN ANY OF THEIR BUILDINGS… TRUST ME!!!

I can’t even give this property 1 star. We applied for an apartment through Goldfarb properties after having a grand experience with the employee at Matthews ave office. We went to see the apartments and were ignored for 30 minutes while we were standing in front of the guy and then were told to see the apartment ourselves. One of the tenant was going off on how unprofessional these people are and you have to wait years until things get taken care of. We should’ve taken that as a sign and not applied for the property.
It had been a month and no one got back to us. Called the Grand Concourse office today to let them know of the situation, and the «unprofessional, rude» woman (I am disgusted to even call her a woman) told me, she can’t do anything about it. I got upset and asked for the refund back, to which she said, «They won’t f***** give your money back» and she dared to hang up on me. I am amused to see how obnoxious these employees are, and even to know that they would treat future residents this way. I am definitely not recommending these properties to anyone. Good luck to the people who has to work with these nasty people.

If i could give zero stars i would. Despite having nice apartments .this place is discriminatory. They told me i was too young to live in a two bedroom by myself despite having a guarantor and credit score. they also forced me to have a co applicant apply even though he would not be paying rent. They have terrible customer service and follow through. be careful when renting from this place. worst experience ever!!! Joshua Goldfarb the owner son is the manager and said they have a formula for calculating credit worthiness by which they look at your monthly spending and how you save and use money. STAY AWAY IF YOU CAN!!!

Genuinely some of the nastiest people I’ve ever come across in my life. The Bronx apartment building is beautiful and well priced but I was incredulous at how rude the staff was. Adam in particular needs to work on his customer service skills. My guarantor surpassed the requirements only for us to be denied for reasons that Adam couldn’t clarify. I’d rather pay more money to live elsewhere. Disgraceful.

I advise you to not sign a lease with this company until everything they say they’ll do they do BEFORE you move in. The units are decent but the building is very poorly managed. Goldfarb needs to keep track of their web work request forms and have the right manager make sure every unit is done properly before new tenants can move in. They should create a check-​list that has things such as «new door, screens for windows, locks on doors, peepholes for doors, doorbells on doors that work, intercoms that work, the right tenant matched with the right mailbox and name next to door on wall when walking into the lobby). I suggest a check off list from top to bottom because none of these things I currently have and it is really aggravating me now, especially since they graciously cash my check each month that’s given to them on-​time like it’s supposed to.
Now I will get into detail why such a list is important:
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 intercoms do not work either so if someone is in the lobby they can’t press the bell to your apt or get in touch with you via the intercom.
Next, and probably most important, I was told when I signed my lease that I would get a NEW DOOR. INSTEAD OF GIVING ME A NEW DOOR LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED to they now say only new units get new doors BUT IF I am a new tenant why haven’t I gotten one???
I AM A NEW TENANT. I PAY MY RENT ON TIME. I DO NOT BOTHER THEM FOR ANYTHING. WHY HAVE I STILL NOT GOTTEN A NEW DOOR? WHY ISN’T ANYONE IN THIS WHOLE COMPANY MONITORING THEIR WEB REQUEST FORMS OR MAKING SURE IF ALL NEW TENANTS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET DOORS THAT ALL THE NEWLY RENOVATED APARTMENTS HAVE NEW DOORS and everything else they are supposed to have (like screens for the windows, proper lighting).
The mailboxes in the lobby have no labels. They’re working on the lobby now but for months they tossed the mailboxes to the side (in no order with incorrect names on mailboxes or no names on them at all). I cannot believe how NO ONE in this whole company is capable of matching the apartment number with the name on the mailbox and front door when you walk into the building.
I also cannot believe how no one can make sure I get my new door with new deadbolt without having to send in ANOTHER web request form BECAUSE I WON’T EVEN BOTHER I’VE DONE IT SO many times. I want them coming to my door with a new door ready to install; this is the only way it’ll get done.
I will update the Unilocal community on any progress as I note it. Please feel free to ask me anything else about 2160 matthews in the Bronx in the meantime.

Worst rental estate company ever!
The owners son needs to take some classes on real estate law and «running» a company. He is only in that position because he is the owners son. Money doesn’t buy you brains.
Filing complaints goes no where. Staff are friendly but just nod and smile while accomplishing nothing.
When signing my lease they not only lost the application but made so many mistakes that we didn’t get our lease until 3 days before move in.
They all need to take a class in customer service.

Goldfarb properties is not a very nice management company. Although I think that has to do with all the line people running things. I met Mark Goldfarb when they removed the fire escapes and the entire building had to vacate, he seemed very nice. I have half a year left on my lease and I can’t wait to move. They will make repairs and they are not slumlords but if you want to leave someplace where the management actually cares abut the tenants this is not the place!

Rudest staff ever, especially lease dept, Marlee Willis. She tends to hang up on people or talk rudely when asked questions that she does not want to hear. She needs to have better listening skills and people skills, ESPECIALLY since she work for the department that will bring them money by leases signed. Rent increases are astronomical as well. I DO NOT recommend this realty company.

The upkeep of the property is pretty good. If you have an issue in your apartment it will be fixed in a reasonable time frame. There was a bedbug issue through out one of the buildings. An exterminator was sent out to fix the problem .The staff in the rental office can be pretty rude. They raise the rent pretty high when it is time to renew your lease.

Live in a large Goldfarb property of 70 plus apartments. The two maintenance men work like dogs. Now they’ve removed one of them so the remaining one can just work day and night. Isn’t there any decency left among landlords? (Sorry I can’t give zero stars).
