First Class Apartments

We lived in one of their properties for two years. Excellent service in all aspects. The property manager (William) on our unit is all we could have hoped for. In a city full of weeds and scrub brush, First Class is a towering sequoia of an organization. I whole heatedly recommend them and would not hesitate to look first at all of their vacancies prior to considering any of the alternatives.
Delighted former client.

Great managers, quick response to issues. No complaints!

Slumlord. Slumlord. Slumlord. Avoid ‘First Class Apartments’ at all cost. There’s nothing first class about them. ‘Second Rate’ would be a far more fitting name. They own multiple buildings throughout the city and beyond… so this review is for the overall company and owner, not the specific property on Grove Street.
The owner is total slumlord and does not properly maintain his buildings or units. Our building was previously family owned, until First Class Apartments bought them out. Since then, everything about the property has gone downhill. From regular maintenance and upkeep to overall responsiveness to building issues and tenant concerns. They’ve exploited tenants for every penny possible, and through their actions to increase rental revenue have put their tenants’ safety at risk — simply in the name of the almighty dollar. After two major break-​ins in one building alone, they still have not heeded the advice of the SF police department, and have done nothing to make recommended safety upgrades to deter local criminals. And yet, they continue to increase our rent year after year.
Avoid if possible and rent at your own risk! Definitely make sure you have renter’s insurance… b/​c your belongings are not safe within these walls.
