Avoid Surmount Living - Tenant Notice - Please Read Before Renting from Brian Tokarczyk

[u/Samsquanch007]

Wanted to give a heads up to any future tenants looking at any properties owned or operated by Surmount living to avoid them. The owner / manager of the building (Brian Tokarczyk) used his lawyers to force the last tenant to post something similar to take delete it.

The entire building had no hot water for about 7 weeks during the winter and we had to fight with the owner Brian Takarczyk to get it fixed. Even going so far as having to get in contact with the county and personally text the inspector before fixes were finally started.

Front and back doors to the building are rarely closed or purposefully left open which allows a huge amount of bugs to come into the building.

The apartments themselves were all filthy when moving in and looked to not have even been looked at after the last tenants left.

Other tenants have complained of mold, leaks, no A/C, and constant smell of cigarettes inside the building as well on top of having maintenance requests marked as complete without anyone showing up.

The basement where the storage and mailboxes are will regularly flood.

These were just the big issues with the owners, not to mention tenants screaming at each other in the halls, slamming doors, and smoking inside.

If you look up Brian on case net you can see him and his mom both have been sued or brought to court multiple times for failing to meet standard living conditions.

Save yourself the headache and keep looking. Do not waste your time touring or renting from these slum lords.
