They are greedy slumlords. They will try to nickel and dime you for everything. They think that the tenants are the only ones who have to abide by the signed lease. If you decide to move here, make sure you have a good lawyer. At this rate, a class action lawsuit is inevitable with the lack of upkeep, professionalism, and blatant illegal tactics they try to use on the people who live here. Danielle Sosky is the worst. She is the resident coordinator out of PPAM. She is pretentious, condescending, immature, and fails to take accountability when there is an issue. She absolutely refuses to direct you to leadership and believes that the buck stops with her. She is the antithesis of what you’d expect from a real estate professional. (If you need the contact info for the CEO, COO, and Director of Operations, I have it.)
Due to their own accounting errors and trying to balance their books almost 3 years later, we are being slapped with a $500 pet deposit that was initially paid before move in with our security deposit. We received an email from Danielle Sosky saying our dog was off leash, and that we haven't been getting charged for him, even though he was on our application. Our dog is on our lease, with both the monthly pet fees and pet deposit amount lines stating "N/A." The first lease was signed by former Property Manager Jessica Ortiz, and our current lease was signed by Danielle Sosky herself, outlining these terms. Despite a lease being recognized as a binding legal contract and bringing this to their attention, Danielle is adamant on adding this fee to our account. She is also threatening to let it sit on our account and have it taken out of our security deposit upon move out, which goes against NJ Security Deposit Law (N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.1). They love to say that the tenant's have "signed a lease stating X Y and Z," but when it comes to their own errors, its not valid. When asked again to remove the fee, especially because NO LEASE ADDENDUM WAS EVER PRESENTED, SIGNED, OR OFFERED, and that retroactively adding uncontracted fees is ILLEGAL, she stated, verbatim, "It's not illegal. We are not removing it, pursue it however you want." She refused to direct me towards leadership to discuss the issue. She is a power-tripping, egomaniacal nuisance to all residents. I have reached out via email and voicemail to CEO/Managing Partner Jack Adler, COO Isaac Gluckman, and DOO Judy Litman for further guidance and awaiting a response.
It seems the only way to get a response out of them is by contacting your local government entities to enforce whatever law they are breaking/violations being committed. Any current or future residents need to do their due diligence and take the proper channels to report these people and hold them accountable.
Even the on-site leasing office agreed that these charges are malicious and false. They have shared with us that this is not the first time that these types of complaints have been received about Danielle, but because she is their boss, they can't do much. However, they did express that we have rights as tenants, and more people should use them against Premier Properties.
If you value your hard earned money, your sanity, and your time, look elsewhere. Moving here was the biggest mistake my family and I could have made and we absolutely cannot wait to get out of this hellhole. They will tell you not to believe the online reviews - I’m telling you to believe them. (We unfortunately believed the lies they told us to get us to sign the lease, and here we are.) Every negative review you see is the truth. Management is abhorrent and a pain in the ass to deal with, the buildings are not up to code, registered pedophiles live on premises with a preschool on-site. Roaches and mice everywhere in the elevators, basements, and garage. Premier Properties does not have your best interest at heart, they only want your money. Someone needs to drop the hammer on them and get this place shut down permanently. Their shady business practices absolutely deserve to be exposed, sooner rather than later. Beware.
This place is terrible. They dont clean up or fix anything that breaks, but expect you to pay for their negligance. Bloody stool was left in an elevator for an entire weekend. The staff knew because they turned the elevator off and put a sign up but didnt do anything. There is a daycare on premises with convicted pedophiles living in the units. They dont maintain NJ building codes which cause thousands of dollars to damage to personal belongings and they say they aren’t responsible. Elevators are always broken. They can only access cameras when its beneficial to them. The resident coordinator for PPAM(the company that owns this place) Danielle Sosky, is one of the worst resident coordinators I’ve ever dealt with. This seems to follow the trend after 14 years working in real estate. There are many other online complaints mentioning Danielle when she worked at Winchester Walk Apartments. She is a bully, severely unprofessional and will try to extort you. The owners of this company should be ashamed of themselves for hiring an extremely unqualifed person for a business/consumer relationship. I would say run from this place, but dont get anywhere near this building is the best advice I have. All attached photos are things that I’ve experienced within the last 2 years of living here. Work orders get band aid fixes and the “cameras” attached to the building, that should make you feel safe, arent even wired. I learned that after my car was vandalized within 48hrs of moving in, and the police department said there is no camera and when i pointed to the one right where I was parked, they said they cant access the footage because there is none. I could honestly write the equivalent of a doctoral dissertation about how terrible this place is. It should honestly probably get shut down by the state of New Jersey.
Not to mention that the day i came to pick up my key they said they had no more openings, after taking my security deposit and it took threatening to call the police for extortion for them to give me my keys.
