Yes, avoid Fairfield at all costs. I lived in the Babylon Village complex when I first moved up here and they lied to me left and right.
They promised me a renovated unit. Nope.
They promised me AC in my bedroom. Nope. They didn't install one until June the following spring, and that was only after I threatened to set the press on their whole company. Then, when they did install it, I couldn't close my vertical blinds because the guy didn't trim them to fit over the unit.
The carpet was nasty when I moved in, and they tried to charge me to clean it when I moved out.
The AC in the living room was broken (the knob had fallen off and was off when I moved in, and I had to plug and unplug the unit to turn it on and off), and the filter looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the Carter years.
The light switches popped and sizzled.
The refrigerator was broken and it took them two days to get me a new one.
Rather than clean the bathroom appropriately after the last tenant moved out, they simply put new caulking over mildewy old caulking.
There was no screen on the bathroom window.
There were holes in the screen for the sliding glass door on the balcony.
When I moved out, there was no one in the rental office to take my keys, so I mailed them and my laundry room pass via Certified Mail with a return receipt, and yet Fairfield claimed I never returned them and tried to charge me $300 for them. (Good thing I had the signed receipt!)
The security guy would sell drugs out of his car and blast his car stereo loudly between the buildings after midnight as he filled out his reports. That's Arrow Security for you, another ethically barren company owned by another of Long Island's grand slimeballs, so when you look around, ask your potential landlords what security company they use. If they don't use Arrow, that's a plus.
Best of all: Some sick individual kept putting feces in the washers and dryers. They never caught the person because they were too cheap and lazy to install a working camera in the laundry room, and when the door broke, they never bothered to fix it.
And for that they were going to raise my rent nearly $100 a month if I had renewed my lease.
That is how Fairfield is across the board. My sister had a co-op that was managed by them and the co-op board got rid of them. They are the absolute worst property management company I have ever dealt with.
Meanwhile Mark Broxmeyer, one of the partners, sucks in the money and turns it over to people like John McCain.
