If there is - star review, I will do that. I have read many reviews regarding Katz management, but I couldn’t believe until I scheduled many tours for different apartments and locations. Every time ,I submitted my application for any apartment and the leasing agent said it’s yours, 2 days later .. oh we are really sorry the apartment was rented. Are you guys working without plan or is there is any communication between the leasing agents to enhance the process and avoid waiting time for people. Additionally, when I Called the manager called Kenn, she was really aggressive and said even if you…

Haven’t had heat for two weeks. Not even sure if that is legal. Earlier this year we didn’t have water for 3 days. Can’t wait until the lease is up.

This is a safety hazard. Located at 523 Sunnyslope Dr in Hartland Wi. Cant see coming down the stairs, it’s worse at night. Theres a fire door that is supposed to be kept closed but have to keep it open for daylight to creep down the stairs.

Bella the property manager is horrible she tries to threaten you with a 5 day notice just because she’s in the wrong everything was running great before she came into the office the leasing consultant Felicia no longer has a voice Bella tells her too be quiet even when she wants to speak up and say what’s right I can’t wait until they switch over to the new owners so we can get the justice we deserve DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT RENT THROUGH KATZ Property

Been in quite a few Katz properties and they are very poorly managed.

1.0★Sep 2025

False advertisement of amenities, building fire alarm constantly goes off in the middle of the night, causing fire department to arrive on a weekly basis. Maintainence crew blocking residential parking spots and driving pathways while on smoke breaks, emergency maintainence line does not work. Roof collapsed and leaked into my bedroom destroying upstairs carpet, all of my belongings in my closet and downstairs, yet no one showed up to fix any of this. I was not reimbursed for any of my own items or labor. Nothing was fixed. I was laughed at and treated poorly by property managers and hung up …

UPDATE 04.15.2026: STILL COCKROACHES LAST I HEARD - THEY BLAME THEIR TENANTS FOR THEIR SHORTCOMINGS. YOUR REPLY TO THIS COMMENT JUST SHOWS YOU DO NOT CARE. YOU WERE SENT NUMEROUS EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS REPORTING THE PROBLEM. STOP LYING TO PEOPLE. PEOPLE STOP RENTING FROM KATZ. PUT YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE! UPDATE 01.04.2026: still has cockroaches, landlord does not care - uninhabitable. 1720 NORTHSHORE APARTMENTS IN SHOREWOOD IS INFESTED WITH COCKROACHES! THE BUILDING HAS BECOME A TRAP HOUSE THAT SMELLS OF PISS! CONDEMN THE BUILDING!

Living in this building has been an absolute pleasure, and a big reason for that is Maddie, the property manager. She’s truly amazing—always responsive, professional, and kind. Since she took over as manager, you can really see the difference she’s made in improving the overall living experience. Her dedication and attention to detail have made this building feel like home.

Thank you so much for making this space my home, the service and attention are excellent, especially to Maddie 🫶🏾

Katz is a wonderful living community! I am very happy with how well they take care of their tenants and surrounding communities. Maintenance is top tier especially with serious issues that are in need of immediate assistance. The facility crew came over to work on an issue past normal work hours and what impressed me the most they did not do a rush job or slap a band aid on top of it. They ensured it was taken care of thoroughly to ensure that my family and I were safe and comfortable! I’ve lived in buildings where maintenance wouldn’t be available past normal office hours. I’m extremely app…

If I could leave, no stars I would Katz property is the worst property management I have ever lived with. I have been living here three years before they bought the building so now totaling five years and I received a non-renewal of lease for no reason and they literally give me 28 days to find a place to stay and they laughed about it in my face like it was funny. They’re very rude at the office. They always hang up the phone on you. They lie and say they didn’t receive your rent so you can pay that high late fee. They have ginormous cockroaches in the building where I live, which is 913 E. K…

Living at Prospect Towers has been an overall great experience. I have an amazing view of Lake Michigan from my apartment, large wall-length windows and a cozy unit with ample storage space. The pool, vending machines, carts to carry my groceries, and daily coffee during the week in the community room are added bonuses! It’s also just a few steps from Brady street and the Oak leaf trail. Perfect in the summer time! On Friday’s there are tasty pastries set out for residents which present opportunities to foster relationships with staff and other residents. The front desk staff and the ladies in…

I lived at Prospect Towers for 2 years. The folks in the office were wonderful and cared about the building/the community. Maintenance requests were usually taken care of quickly. My only qualm with the apartment is with the owner of the building, Dan Katz — who does not care about any of the buildings he owns. If the building were solely owned and operated by the folks in the office, the building would be an incredible space to live in. I still would recommend living here, but would warn that Dan Katz does not care about you, the office folks do.

My actual review is zero stars. Since being bought by Katz properties the property has taken a nose-dive. Save yourself and do NOT move here or live in any Katz properties under any circumstances. Not only was there a car fire here on January 20th, which has left extensive damage to the building, they also hired servepro to do repairs and they severely mishandled our homes, leaving them open with no security for over 72 hours while we were displaced. They did not even have a way to contact all of the tenants somehow (how is it possible you don’t have a phone number and/or email for each of you…

I lived in the property at 1800 E Kenmore Pl for a year. I instantly fell in love with the location and the historic charm of the unit. It was also extremely affordable which was great since I was living alone at that time. When I first moved in, the place was absolutely filthy. The property manager told me she tried to clean but didn’t have time to do it all. It wasn’t just dirty but the toilet still had urine in it and was unflushed. That was the first red flag but I overlooked it and cleaned the unit myself. For the next few months I loved living there. Then winter hit. It is an old build…

Katz fraudulently charged my account and pulled money out of my account before they were told they should and then over charged me, and charged me a late fee when their agent directly told me they wouldn’t. I also had several issues with homeless people breaking into my apartment that wasn’t ever addressed and was given nothing but attitude when I called and addressed the issues.

Maintenance services is the worst. The apartments have lots of problems to fix but maintenance services are really slow. Their management over this issue is weak.
