This is the worst place I have EVER lived. DO NOT LIVE HERE IT IS A SCAM!!! Lived in one of their buildings in New York for the summer, the process for actually getting the apartment was simple and easy and I thought I had found a great place to live. I was, however, sussed out by a couple things throughout the setup process. For one, they wanted to charge us $75 to tour the apartment in person (which is illegal in NYC) and they also charged us $500 each to 'secure the apartment' (just another cash grab) - it's also not legal to charge more than $20 for an application fee under NY state law. As soon as I moved in, things continued to get worse. I had found that the hot water did not work. This was fixed, but then it happened again, 6 times over the summer (even though we were paying an extra fee for utilities). Each time that it happened, Alohause would ignore our emails for a couple days and then say they are trying their best but it is technically "building management's responsibility". However, we would ask for the building management's contact so that we could contact them directly and they refused to do so, and one of the workers came in once and admitted that alohause did not believe that the hot water wasn't working which is why it was not being fixed immediately. The last time that it happened it was out for 7 days, we emailed them multiple times everyday and it was not fixed until building management themselves contacted us directly. On top of this, there were 2 instances where carbon monoxide was detected in our building - both times the alarm went off at 4am and we had to call 911 for the fire department to come. The firefighter said that they have been coming to this property for ~8 years for the same issue, so it is quite baffling that alohause is continuing to rent out 3 units in this building when its clearly not safe to live there. Finally, while living there, there were ALWAYS people sitting or even sleeping on the front door step. all in all, DO NOT LIVE HERE - I wish I had saw more reviews on this company before I decided to rent with them because it is very clearly a scam
