By Caitlin Mota | The Jersey Journal on April 04, 2017 at 5:50 PM, updated April 04, 2017 at 6:35 PM JERSEY CITY -- A Clifton-based management company already in hot water with the city and many of its residents was slapped with another 200 plus violations, officials said. The housing and fire code violations against Trendy Management are in addition to dozens of violations issued last week at two of the company's properties. link

Quite a regular

After "Trendy" took over, I decided to e-mail them on repairs needed in my apartment. Never heard back, which solidified the fact it was just a rebrand.
Many neighbors have gone to the city for housing issues, however they then threaten to evict you if you say anything. They jack up rents way past the rent control rates after they "renovate" units. Really not sure how the city allows them to do any sort of business within city limits anymore

I'm surprised to hear they're still in business, rebranding or no. About 7 years ago, I was on a condo board and we interviewed management companies, including Riveredge. Very good presentation. However, I personally checked references for all the potential companies and Riveredge got horrible reviews from references they gave us. I usually don't pay much heed to references given by a company since they're generally not reliable. I find my own references to check. Same deal when hiring an employee. But that wasn't necessary for this company.
No board that does due diligence would even think of hiring them.

More trouble for management company hit with dozens of fire code violations last year?
By Ron Zeitlinger | The Jersey Journal on January 28, 2016 at 2:18 PM JERSEY CITY -- A Clifton-based building management company that was smacked with dozens of fire code violations after a Garfield Avenue fire in June could face new fines after a fire this morning on Kennedy Boulevard. City fire officials said that fire alarms at 1991 Kennedy Boulevard, one of many multi-unit buildings in the city owned by River Edge Management, were not functional when firefighters responded there at 3 a.m. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... n.html#incart_river_index

Ari came through and restored the power.
I wish he was less cryptic about his process. Somehow hi did it without paying off PSEG balance...

> One week with no power at this time of year
Why is this time of year especially bad to have no power? Robin.

I don't know how you survived as long as you did. One week with no power at this time of year? You gotta be kidding me. I endured it for three days after Hurricane Sandy and that was bad enough.
I know it's all easier said than done, but I'd go over to the management company offices, or to the owner's home, in person and raising some serious hell if that were the case. Quote:

Inertia is expected when you work with government agencies.
Overall it's not that bad. CO2 and fire detectors have independent power source. The only bad thing is that as lease holder I let my roommate down. It really affects her life and school - she cannot study at home, no cooking gas, and no hot water. She does not normally mind the beggars around our building but now she feels extremely insecure. The second apartment has been unoccupied for months. Quote:

I understand, Alex. I'm just pissed that NO ONE is seemingly helping you and you're getting the run-around from countless city agencies. You shouldn't spend one more day in the dark.
Are you the only person advocating for the tenants in your building? What are the other residents doing?

Alex, I don't know how you're explaining this to the officials you spoke to, but this goes beyond a "tenant/landlord" issue. This is a health and safety issue now. Please call the folks at Public Safety. You should not be living in an apartment house without electricity.

Is the entire building without power?
This guy is breaking the law. Report him to the city ASAP. And document EVERYTHING.

Nobody showed up yesterday. Entire building is still without power.
Wasted a lot of time rushing there from work and waiting for PSEG guy and then for Ari (the building owner). He always sounds polite on the phone, overall he seems like a nice guy. Here's what I have so far. - I paid him $700 (for last 10 months of electricity) 3 days ago - He lied all this time about paying the balance with PSEG and turning the power on. - He doesn't want to go to PSEG with me to face the Manager who can turn the power on. - He does not allow me to pay it myself ($2k). - I shot the video at PSEG as rep going through building's account and telling me that nobody paid it and account has no name on it (sent it to him today). - Today is one week without power On any email addressed to Ari I get one answer "It was turned on at 11AM, I do not know what happened and why you still do not have power"

Good news, AlexB. You might want to post your method of contact so others with the same problems have a similar way of reaching them effectively.
These guys are all over the press and net with bad reviews. How the city continues to allow management companies like this to operate in the city with so many violations is troubling. I would think that would add to municipal culpability if something tragic happened at one of these locations. Glad you're getting some help.

Thank you so much for your replies!
I figured the way to reach the owners directly. After a couple of angry emails things started moving. I have appointment with PSEG tomorrow morning.

For whatever it's worth, the principals of RiverEdge also appear to be associated with another entity, Orca Capital Partners, which is also at the same Clifton address.
The website, www.orcacp.com, reveals absolutely nothing about the entity, but who knows, with a little more research you might be able to find other ways of getting through to the people at RiverEdge.

Good luck getting any answers from them. They also manage my building and are very absent in any responses. From my understanding, they are a frequent flyer in court, and usually are sided against.

Price of the building just doubled over the last 2 years and it's worth a cool few million now, they want it for better purposes.

Other articles about River Edge Management and their antics have shown an attorney by the name of Jeffrey Unger in Clifton as their registered agent. He may also be the primary owner, I don't know. But at least now you know the name of a human being associated with this shady company.
