Come for the Washer & Drier Stay for The Mice, Pigeons & Squatter.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Ridgewood is a beautiful neighborhood filled with delicious food from across the world. The community is beautiful and this building is in the perfect location.
Cons:
I pray that no one has to deal with the truly unpleasant and saddening experience of being one of Ink Property Group and Jackie Ortiz’s tenants. None of the issues I am about to mention are irreparable. I often did my own research and requested specific solutions to make her life easier. However, after several failed attempts to being polite and docile I realized that they do not care about us, our well being or our health.
If you’re moving here you better like mice, pigeons, roaches, a suspicious man hanging around, and a property manager that does not care about your comforts. THERE ARE MICE THAT ARE NOT SCARED OF PEOPLE. DONT FALL FOR TRAPS. THEY CRAWL ALL OVER THE KITCHEN APPLIENCES AND MANAGEMENT JUST SENDS GLUE TRAPS. The main issue (which now that our lease is ending is finally maybe taken care off probably as a spit in the face to us) the pigeons that inhabit the space between two buildings run rampant. I have seen pigeons do every single thing you could possibly imagine. Despite sending videos and proof the manager pretended she was unaware of the issue and there was nothing that could be done. Pigeon have died in this space and YES they smell bad (yes through the glass) as they decompose in the rain, in the snow, and in the in the New York City Summer HEAT, BABY. There's poor ventilation due to this, and therefore your 5 fire detectors will go off if you so much as toast a piece of bread. The water pressure is great, however the water is set to boiling and the water pressure to floodgate.
There's more! Jackie will never show her face, she instead will send her handyman to "fix" things. We went back and forth several times over getting someone to come make a repair and they have a cap on repairs before they start to itemize and charge you for their poorly renovated apartments. God forbid you have an issue with mice the poor man will come by and scoop up mice feces with his hands. Yes, there are roaches mainly because the doors don't go all the way to the ground but they are less present than the mice. You would swear you're cinderella the way they pop out and dance around in your room. NO MATTER HOW CLEAN YOU ARE
The backyard is fully your responsibility if you're in the 1R unit. However, it will be shared with the man who lives in the basement. This is not a joke. This man allegedly used to be the supper but went Ink Property group took over they couldn't kick him out because he was promised free rent. So he sometimes comes out of the basement and plants some things or bring out some scrap metal, or unclogs dead pigeon carcasses from the little alley in between the buildings. He allegedly has to deal with backed up sewage in the basement unit, because of course if it's not for profit Jackie Ortiz and Ink Property ain't gonna fix it.
I am sadden by having to move only because the housing crisis in new york is fully out of hand but a 21% rent increase is an insane amount especially for a unit that has had so many issues. I know that it is rough out there right now but we have to stand up to these companies that do not care about their tenants.
Advice to owner:
Start thinking of your tenants as people just trying to live their lives, and not just money.
