This guy is just the worst. A friend and I by coincidence rented separate apartments from Dan and though we both had less-than-stellar experiences, my friend got the worst of it:
He was completely unresponsive to a pest problem in the apartment and ignored repeated requests to fix an outside lock - rendering the apartment unsafe. My friend was also once on the receiving end of one of his irrational rages after accidentally getting locked out of the apartment, in which Dan threatened to call the police.
He never responds to service requests, even for things that impact daily life or safety. He is unbelievably condescending to tenants, especially women, and if you ever cross him on a bad day be prepared for an irrational firestorm.
It's possible to stay on Dan's good side - if you never have a request to make of him and never have a problem with your apartment. Unfortunately, given his careless attitude toward maintenance, this is unlikely to be the case.
