We applied to a 2 bedroom listed by Lori/Tri-State in another building (May and June 2015) an it was an incredibly frustrating, and borderline corrupt, process. They may have different / insanely long process as compared to other buildings, but she never proactively communicated it or set expectations for how it would work or how long it would take. We saw the apartment and immediately submitted an application. She asked for every single piece of personal information you can imagine from me and my family, from account numbers, to six months of statements to years of tax returns to social security numbers. For obvious reasons, this is data that we hold very close to the vest. And then NEVER got back to us with a decision one way or the other, not even after a month of follow up. Perhaps it's an insanely slow and antiquated process to evaluate applicants, or a ploy to collect applicant fees, or worst of all, a scam to gather personal information, but regardless it’s absolutely unacceptable.
