I have to mark at least one star but would love the opportunity to mark down negative stars. This landlord is definitely a slum landlord. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE! Annual lease renewals are always the maximum amount they can charge by law. Mine just went up $120 after the first year regardless of the fact that my shower and hot water has not worked properly since i moved in almost a year ago. A homeless man sleeps on the inside stairwell near my apartment. I have to step over him in the mornings. People leave their garbage outside their front door in the hallway all night because they are too lazy to go the basement to dispose of it. The super, property manager and landlord know and don't care. In this 100 degree weather we will soon have rodents, insects and i am sure you can imagine how nice the smell is. The inside of the apartment is just as bad. Paint splatters everywhere... and i mean huge thick drips. Doors are painted over so many times they don't fit in the door frames properly anymore. Electric sockets painted over so there are not unusable (and probably a safety hazard). I complained of mold in the bathroom and they came in and partially tiled over it. And i mean partially. There's a deep window ledge and they put two tiles where it should have been 4 to even it out. They basically tiled over the mold on the edges and now we have a half tiled ledge. It's the laziest work i have ever seen. The bathroom hand towel rail is embedded into the wall and honestly drops by over an inch on one side. It looks like a drunk person installed it. A friend lives in one of their newer buildings. They were told by the landlord that if they went on to Yelp and wrote them a good review, then they would "take care" of their lease renewal as a thank you. My friend did as she was asked and her first years rent went up by $120 a month regardless. This is why i do not believe any of the positive reviews on here. No doubt other people were offered the same deal. Everything i have read online about Pistilli is that they are slum landlords. I unfortunately learned how true this was the hard way. I have complained so many times about my shower and hot water situation. They could care less. I have basically been told by our so called Property Manager (who is honestly a building maintenance person at best) that the Landlord doesn't want to spend the money to repair anything. Nice to know that my hefty rent payment each month just goes straight in his pocket.

Don't use them! No, they dont charge a finders fee but they so charge for a smoke detector that they never gave us and Im pretty sure that's illegal. I had to threaten to call the fire department after the door knob fell off and I was trapped inside for 8hrs and they wouldn't come until I threatened to call the fire department. They didn't give back the full deposit either which I was not shocked either, ruthless, wrong!
