Reviews of 784 St Johns Place

Former tenant·just now

Hold owner Max Lebo responsible for being a slumlord

Pros

Great area, great people and businesses

Cons

Multiple management companies have failed to get this building under control. This building has been neglected for so long that it is riddled with mold, roaches, and leaks from poor plumbing. Max Lebo and management do not care about tenants rights and will threaten you with legal action if you try to get them to take accountability and actually do their job.

Advice to the owners

Please stop fucking over your tenants. How do you feel good about yourselves? Shame on you all.
