They never answer the phone and whoever does has the worst customer service always sounding bothered or just woken up from a nap. They say there gonna fix things and never do make promises they never keep.

I just move in Monday to say Mrs Serena S has been wonderful in assisting with me on everything. Always reaching out to see is everything okay in my unit

Brenda can’t create a schedule she can stick to. Three days in the last month she’s had management leave a 24/hr notice on my door to do work THEY want to do, not me, and they never show up. like my time isn’t valuable and it’s no big deal, every time. Meanwhile they still haven’t finished the same job they started MONTHS ago (a simple bathroom fan) and I STILL have drywall cut out in my bathroom. They even forgot to put insulation and just put some drywall over it anyways and now need to rip the drywall back out. They gave me notice and had me wait two days in a row, and the same to my neighb…

Muy estrictos para tener unos apartamentos horribles y ni hablar del personal de la oficina te atienden con mala gana y esto es en general deberian de contratar gente con buena actitud para los clientes y mejorar su edificios son buenos para pedir dinero más no para ayudarnos 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Living here has been a nightmare from day one. The neighborhood is extremely dangerous—I’ve literally had guns pulled on me multiple times. Crime is rampant, and management does absolutely nothing to improve safety. There are needles scattered everywhere, and they don’t bother to clean up the filth. On top of that, the apartments themselves are falling apart. Mold is a constant problem, and management refuses to do anything about it they send maintenance to spray bleach and tell you to open the windows It’s a health hazard, but they don’t care. …

After reading these comments I had to comment. I have been a resident for six years and never have had any complaints Sure sometimes when you call in a person may get the runaround but tell me a place that doesn't do that at some point. As for them responding to issues within the property they have always responded in a timely manner and completed the job also in an extremely timely manner. As for the heating pump they installed it has always worked since day one and in my opinion it's the best thing they installed. The maintenance crew is the best I have seen. Truthfully I wouldn't want to l…

Terrible service, rude workers, no dryer, no washing machine. They installed a hit pump and it didn't work from the very beginning, I called ten times, but no one wanted to fix it. And the price is very high for such a terrible apartment. Stay away from them. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Honestly, I’d avoid them if you can. They lied to me about the apartment when I moved in and when showed up with a truck they told me I could move my deposit to another apartment, I had no choice. They ignore your issues, and they don’t follow the 24 hour entrance notice laws. Their maintenance company thinks it’s appropriate to criticize and comment on how you live. They ignore safety concerns you bring to them and always have a terrible attitude when I try to talk with them. I asked them to do something about my neighbors constant screaming and loud music at all hours of the night and they t…

Best landlord and management !!! Ruth and Amanda are really helpful, reasonable and understandable when I’ve experienced financial hardship. You guys are the best. Thank you for your help and sympathy. To Ruth and Amanda.

I don't even know where to start, the blatant disrespect from management is asinine. Haven't missed my rent payment since I've lived here but have a termination letter on my door for something egregious and completely falsified. Instead of reaching out and calling somebody they just put a termination letter on my door. I honestly have no idea why ? I'll be getting an attorney in the morning. If you're looking for a place to live, I suggest you steer far away from Stark first management. The rent is cheap but they don't upkeep the place at all. Management never is around, and to top it off you …

Lived with this company for almost 15 years now. The neighborhood may not be the best but I always get help when I ask for it. I always see their maintenance guys busy at work. Very reasonable staff. Would recommend

Never gonna go through starkfirs managment EVER again due to them not responding to complaints , not enforcing housing laws or rental agreements, Tells me there's no actual management for this property (Alder Royale), Literally hung up on me as soon as I said I was gonna bring an attorney into it, homeless people sleeping and using drugs and the stairwell, People blasting their music frequently and not getting in trouble, Illegal activity on the property goes unnoticed, Constant graffiti inside the building, Targeting companion animals, Animal waste everywhere, Falsely advertising on their we…

A big Thank You to the complaint department the one time I bothered them with a complaint they took care of it. And also the ground keeper for doing his best. If anything the trashy neighbors and rude people they deal with are the problem not management.

PREDATORY SCAMMERS - DO NOT RENT Lease contains UNENFORCEABLE, ILLEGAL clauses designed to SCARE and SCAM tenants out of their money. "Landlord special" throughout each unit with multiple building code violations. Unsafe properties with complete disregard for tenant comfortability. Complete customer dissatisfaction, guaranteed! Never have I ever come across a company so relentlessly dedicated to ensuring complete customer dissatisfaction. My entire experience renting from this company was, for lack of a more appropriate term, traumatizing. From the moment we first started doing business w…

Where do I start? On the application process they don't ask for any certain kind of renter's history (probably on purpose) and then charge you a huge security deposit because you didn't have 'adequate renter's history'. I did and when I asked about it on the phone the staff member was very rude and condescending and said "that's why its very important to fill out the application correctly the first time", like ma'am I did. It was never specified how many years were required or that it needed to be from a property management company, and not an individual. This is probably on purpose to have a…

Stay far away from this company, extremely rude and unprofessional. Maintniance will do the bare minimum. Hang up on you if You have a complaint. Horrible horrible slum lord management. Good paying tenant and being treated horribly. Stay far away from this company Edit: Management reply is you would like me to call you to discuss my concern. I called multiple times and Erica kept hanging up on me, then said she would get a manager and hung up, then said they don’t have managers on site and to bad so sad. Please do not use this company!!!!

Worst place to live the maintenance people never fix anything either, the lady at the leasing office is awful too. Don’t even bother looking at these the walls are so thin you can hear everything if you live downstairs. They don’t care about the residents here they don’t maintain the property I would save your money & time and go somewhere else.

As a tenant at Stark Firs, I really appreciate the work they do to keep things up to par around our complex. Great people and the owner is a very helpful/mindful person when it comes to working with family's.
