Never rent form Lobos Management! I have live in one of their buildings for almost a year and it has been a horrible experience. First they leased me an apartment without first disclosing the fact that there is a leak in the bedroom ceiling (I live on the top floor). After I realized the leak existed, other tenants informed me that Lobos' refusal to repair it was the reason the previos tenant broke her lease and moved out. I have called them repeatedly to address the matter, but to no avail. Through the winter the leak was not too bad, but once spring and summer rolled around, it became utterly ridiculous. I have called them repeatedly to fix it and they gave me the run around every time. That is, when they don't hang up on me. So I filed a complaint with the Allegheny Co. Health Dept. They gave Lobos until Sept. 16 to repair the leak or they would do their own inspection. Meanwhile, the leak got worse. Today, I came home from work to find that my bedroom ceiling had collapsed. It's now on the bedroom floor. I immediately called Lobos, AGAIN, and got the run around, AGAIN. I had told them before that the ceiling was in danger of collapsing, but they didn't seem bothered by it. The manager was rude and scathing on the phone and said they would have fixed it if I paid the rent. I said I'll pay the rent when my ceiling is fixed. Until then it will be in escrow.
