We moved to Philadelphia without seeing the apartment in person. When we arrived, it was filthy. Roaches, mice, the oven didn't function, and general disrepair. The landlord has dragged his feet for a month and a half, doing little to nothing. The tenants above us are frustrated and dealing with the same problems. The City of Philadelphia License and Inspection Department came out yesterday to view the apartment and found not only the disrepair, but that the fire alarm system had been disabled, and not reviewed since 2004. When I told the inspector the landlord's name, he said he had heard of the man on an another complaint last year where a building had no heat.
Avoid Urban Property Group LLC and any of its various LLC names. We deeply regret moving here.
