      Strong Complaint **************************** and Unprofessional Behavior I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service provided by ********************* and ******* during my recent interaction with your team. It is crucial that you understand the severity of the issues I encountered, as they reflect a significant lapse in customer service.The information provided concerning the admin fee, credit check, and move-in date was woefully incomplete, leading to unnecessary confusion and frustration on my end. This lack of transparency is unacceptable, and it is imperative that such oversights be rectified promptly.I must address the wholly unprofessional conduct displayed by *********************. Her rudeness and apparent disregard for my concerns or living situation are inexcusable. As a representative of your company, her behavior falls far short of the expected standard of professionalism.Furthermore, the lack of assistance with accommodations or facilitation of direct communication with the property manager is utterly disappointing. It is essential that your team recognizes the importance of providing personalized support and ensuring tenants feel valued rather than merely seen as financial transactions.In summary, my experience has left me with the impression that **** and ******* are solely driven by financial motives, with little regard for the well-being and satisfaction of individual tenants. This attitude is unacceptable and demands immediate attention.I trust that you will address these concerns promptly and implement measures to enhance customer service, transparency, and professionalism within your organization. Also to mention I have not even moved into the unit yet

      I was charged $1080 for damage charge after I move out. However, I do not have an itemized list of what damages you have detected and what each of them costs, not even an estimate list. I reached out to their team right after I saw the charge and started a management request on your website but no one has reached out to me about it. Then I emailed the property management but was told that they have left the company so I was finally referred to the current property management through email. I have emailed this manager *** multiple times but did not have any response from her until I got her phone number from another resident who also had the same issue. After a week of traying to reach out to her, I finally had a chance to talk to her on the phone. She told me that the damage to the floor can be arguable but she needs more time so I waited for another week. Again, no response. It has been almost 30 days since I first reach out and this issue is still now resolved. Other than this, I was also overcharged for my parking in August. I was charged a whole month parking fee though my parking lease ends before then. I also contacted your team more than a week ago and was told that I would get a refund, but no refund till today.

      Our unit is **** #3. For the last 16 months, MAC apartments has insisted that we have two electricity meters attached to our unit, one with an address of 3r and one with 3f. When we opened an account with ***** and gave them our address, they opened the account under meter number ********* and listed the address as 3f. We have paid the CoMed bills directly to CoMed. MAC apartments has been charging us for a second meter, *********, with an address of 3r along with a $50/month vacancy fee. We asked for utility statements for this second meter and the meter number. We finally got the meter number on Sept 5th and some of the bills on Sept 6th. We called CoMed and asked them to verify that both meters are attached to our unit. They came on Sept 13th. A MAC person had to unlock the utility room door for ***** who discovered six detached meters lying on the floor. One of those meters was meter *********. The bills for this meter which were sent to MAC showed that all charges were estimated because the meter couldn't be read. These were "made-up" charges. We called repeatedly for the last week asking for someone to refund us the fraudulent electrical charges along with all late fees. Today we spoke with a manager who knew nothing about this and said they would have to investigate. Its been ********************************************** the meantime, they owe us money but are still insisting we have to pay these charges and late fees under threat of raising our rent or evicting us. That is called extortion. It was MAC's responsibility to deactivate those old meters which were replaced with Smart meters in 2018/2019. They did not. They have been fraudulently billing tenants for these disconnected meters ever since along with the $50/mo vacancy fee under threat of a raise in rent or eviction. This is unconscionable business behavior. The owner of MAC, *************** LLC refuses to take phone calls. We want this resolved NOW.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is a non-response response. All they did was give us their telephone number and said they would look into it. They've been saying this since May of 2023. Our current bill is full of late charges, fraudulent electrical charges, fraudulent vacancy charges, its a mess. In order to satisfy us, have someone in your office at the supervisory level (******'s supervisor who was supposed to call back and never did) or higher call us and straighten out our ledger. You have our email addresses and our phone numbers so there is no excuse for not having the courtesy to call us and get this resolved. We have direct lines to a number of people who we spoken with over the last six months but when we try to contact them again, they never pick up, never return calls. Until we receive a clean ledger and a phone call, we will continue to pursue this matter.

      August 22, 2023, the ** unit in my CHP unit stopped working. This before the 2 days (8/23 and 8/24) that ******* had an excessive heat warning. At the time that I left my unit on 8/22, it was ~80 degrees indoors, even before the onset of the record-breaking heat. My unit is on the 14th floor with only one window that opens about 4 in. The indoor temp rendered the unit uninhabitable. For four days I was unable to ascertain an update on the progress toward a repair. I had to secure alternate living arrangements. I was told HV** was on their way on 8/25 but that was not true. 8/25, I received a call from *************************. She offered an alternate housing for Friday evening, but it was ~4:00pm and I had made arrangements. I indicated interest in alternative arrangements starting the following day, a first admission from Mac that my unit was uninhabitable, but I have not received any communication from her since the 8/25 call and text messages on 8/25. I continued to submit tickets, call resident services, and email the regional manager. 8/28 at 10am after 2 more calls to resident services and a call directly to the Maintenance Director. The unit was fixed within one hour. I am seeking a rent credit for September for 6 days or a refund for 6 days (August) due to the negligence in fulfilling this repair request (which was ultimately fixed in an hour when an HV** technician was finally dispatched to my unit!). I was offered a restaurant gift card because my unit was deemed by *** as merely "uncomfortable" during that time. This is not a sufficient to acknowledge the length of time and costs incurred being displaced from my home due to the negligent lack of communication preventing a timely repair. Today *************************** at Mac indicated that there are "cooling spots" at City Hyde Park when in fact the resident lounge and my hallway were in disrepair at varying lengths during this time and registering temps of 83+, so that was an uninformed statement.

      After reviewing your service requests, it looks like all attempts to repair your ** were made in a timely manner from our maintenance team, but the issue was then beyond **************'s abilities. This required specialized services which unfortunately delayed the ** repair. This delay could have been communicated in a more consistent and transparent manner, and for this, I apologize. We will be reviewing our communication procedures and response times to prevent similar situations from occuring in the future.

      Complaint: 20539783

      I am rejecting this response because I have not received any compensation in the form of a rent credit, alternate housing, or compensation for hotel stays during an ordeal with bungled communication and neglect on the part of Mac Properties. In the response whomever responded said they can not speak to the rent credit. This illustrates the lack of an effective communication network at Mac Properties and an interest only in collecting rents and not caring for tenants during emergency maintenance issues and a commitment to disinterest in resolving issues that directly impact the quality of life of their tenants. It's unacceptable.

      Management has acted, on more than one occasion, that they just "learned" of this incident, when I was in fact offered alternate housing via phone (it was late in the day and I already had made arrangements) from the regional manager for one night then completely ignored as I continued to be displaced for an additional 4 days during a record-setting heat event in a 14th floor one bedroom apartment with one small window/no air flow/and temperatures  I left when the temp hit 85 degrees.

      Late in this thoroughly documented process, I received voicemails from the regional manager indicating she didn't know of the issue when she had in fact spoken with me on the phone once, told me she would help me make a plan, and then ignored my subsequent text message and all of the emails I sent to her. She said in a late night voicemail after I reached out to one of her colleagues in an effort to get a response from Mac Properties that her "email didn't work", but she indicated that it didn't work the week after this issue, so I don't understand the relevance of that excuse.


      Unrelated to my specific issue, but related to the overall neglect of Mac Properties, the freight elevator has been out for nearly a month and a broken shelf in my closet was not fixed for several weeks. Mac Properties values tenants only for the checks they cash. I was an excellent tenant for three years in what Mac Properties inaccurately describes as "luxury" housing. I deeply appreciated the care from the front desk team, to be clear, but management is neglectful, and unresponsive.

      Complaint: 20539783

      I am rejecting this response because I'm still not convinced that there is an understanding of what I experienced. While filing a BBB complaint was helpful with regard to getting management to respond, the recent response incorrectly details events that did not happen to me at a building I did not live in. There doesn't seem to be a process for problem solving during or after an unexpected event or disruption of housing, nor coherent communication. I was offered a gift card, but that is not aligned with my displacement. I do not accept that response, but I am also not feeling optimistic that there is an understanding or effort made to track my experience without mingling it with others. My hope is that Mac Properties will find a way to do better for other tenants moving forward. I will never rent with or recommend Mac Properties again.

      Hi, I had a 13-month lease with Mac Properties in *******, with *************** from June 2022 - July 2023. Everything was fine until I moved out. I have paid $28105 in total for a 1b1b unit with the parking lease. On 07/27/2023, I received an Invoice (********- Unit ****, ****): "Service Request Charges Miscellaneous Charge (Damage Charge) ($****)" saying I need to pay **** dollars damage fees.I am confused because I thoroughly cleaned the whole apartment and took pictures and videos for evidence. In the charges and invoice they sent me, they don't have before and after photo proof as well as the itemized invoice of this repair. So, I decided to contact *** to resolve issues together. During these few months, my partner contacted *** multiple times on my behalf. However, we can't get in contact with anyone who is in charge of the billing. We also submitted three service requests, as workers we got in touch with suggested us in the resident portal. Unfortunately, no one has helped us to resolve the issue and close the case. (Service request numbers are: ********, ********, 01209267)What I am requesting is simple: 1) someone/account in charge of the billing that I could talk to about the issues, 2) before and after photo proof as well as the itemized invoice of this repair. 3) The removal of the charge on my account: Invoice *********- Unit ****, ****): Service Request Charges Miscellaneous Charge (Damage Charge) ($****). As I stated in the service request I submitted in the portal, There was no damage done to Unit ****. When I moved out, Unit **** was left in pristine condition and was fully cleaned. I have attached a picture I took at move-out, which shows the floor clearly in perfect condition (I'm happy to share more). Even if there were scratches present, that would be considered wear and tear, which is permitted per the lease. I request that you please remove this charge. I have also provided the pictures evidence in BBB. Thank you!

      Dear ******,


      Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding the condition of your apartment upon move-out. We value your time as a resident at **** and are committed to addressing your issues promptly.


      Upon our thorough inspection of your apartment following your departure, it became apparent that there were certain damages that exceeded what we consider normal wear and tear for a one-year tenancy. While minor scratches and nicks on the walls are typical and within our ability to repair, we did encounter more substantial issues that required specialized attention.


      For instance, there was notable damage to the refrigerator door, kitchen counters, and multiple floorboards exhibited deep gouges, necessitating the intervention of a professional *************. In these cases, the damage went beyond the scope of what we typically encounter during move-outs.


      Our ******** Services team is available at your convenience to provide additional clarity if needed. Please feel free to contact us either by phone at ************ or via email at *************************** We are committed to addressing any questions or concerns you may have.


      Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention.

      I am rejecting this response because your company didn't address all my concerns and requests. 1) There is no customer services during the whole process that I can't never talk to anyone to solve the issue 2) You still didn't provide itemized breakdown, which is unlawful 3) I have mailed the check upon your account team request, but the charges are still not removed, and my money has already been deducted from my bank account. Apparently, *** lost my money, or is trying to scam the customer. *****-mentioning to others, *** also sent me a threatening email that they will ask collection company for the unreasonable charges, however, they are the one at the first place are not willing to solve the issues. So far, I found serval residents also experienced the same experiences I had.
