While reading through a few reviews on ApartmentRatings.com I came across a pretty funny post that was capped off with:

“I rather sleep in a homeless HIV tuberculosis ridden dump than do this again. Sorry Riverbank just doesn’t make the cut. No wonder you have a 13% rating. I should have listened to what everyone was already saying about you.”

While that is definitely funny, I realized there was an alarming response to the post from ‘Anonymous’ talking about the return of security deposits. From many other reviews and from speaking to folks who have recently moved I’ve been hearing a lot of the same – You are lucky to see your security deposit returned within the year! Here are some comments to take notice of:

“You will most likely wait several months or have to pursue litigation in order to get it back. The worst possible place to rent from in NYC.

For those of you waiting past 30 days for your deposit – first file a complaint with the New York Atty General’s office. Then file a small claims suit at Centre Street downtown. Make sure you have everything together first before going there. You will need to put together a brief and explain in detail. It costs $45 to file and make sure you get it back from Riverbank by including it as part of the law suit. Don’t let them scam you. They think they know everything, but they don’t – bunch of freaking idiots to say the least. Attorney General says you are to receive your deposit within 30 days and if not, file suit against them.”

This guy has 0bviously been through the experience! What about you? Have you encountered similar problems? Have you filed suit?

Tom K posts a review of his 5 year living experience at the Riverbank West Apartments on Yelp.com.  Not surprisingly, he gives the Riverbank apts a 1 star out of a possible 5.

“Worst possible place you could rent from in the entire city.  Poorly managed. Lived for 5 years with lots of things taken away each year and over 15% rent increases each year.  Didn’t get security deposit back for three months because they sent it to a different person (yeah, WTF?!?).  After I was going to file a suit in small claims, that’s when I got it back.  It’s a dump.”

I’ve recently moved out so I can only hope my security deposit arrives in a timely fasion – although if it doesn’t you can rest assured I’ll be blogging about it!

In addition, when he references “its a dump” he’s more than likely referring to the fact the gym shut down, the Starbucks on the corner closed its doors and the ‘business office’ rarely has a printer that works, doesn’t have wireless and is basically useless.
