Lobos management should not be allowed to rent to anyone anymore. They will not fix anything in your apt. or take care of their premises. The only time they ever fixed anything for me was when I called the health dept. after repeatedly calling lobos about not having heat for a week in the middle of winter (it was 7 degrees outside!) only then after the dept. came to my apt. & said it was 'inhumane living conditions' & called lobos telling them if it was not fixed in 24hrs. They would get fined, the man came 20mins after the dept. left to fix my heat.

Not even a week later my heat broke again,& I tried for another 3 or 4 days with a lot of rude employees (hanging up on me, telling me I'm not the only one w/out heat) giving me the run-around.Finally they came to fix it, most likely because I told them the health dept. was coming to do their follow-up. The guy came & said the unit needed a new fan, & it would be in no later than three days. Well, he never came back! I called about getting money of my rent,(the least they could do was reimburse me for the heaters I bought to keep warm & give me half off seeing how I was w/out heat half the month), but they always said they would call back& never did. When I wanted to talk to the manager, she was not in her office. (how convenient).

So about three weeks later my heat broke for the third time. It took about 2 or 3 days this time. I've been calling to still get my rent reduced, but it seems that they are told to always say we'll call you back' Well they must think I'm a dumb little girl who doesn't know my rights, but they are in for a surprise! I know that under new law--implied warranty of habitability- if a landlord doesn't make necessary repairs the tenant can break the lease before it runs out. I've heard they do not return sec. deposits either,well I took pictures when I moved in (dated of course) so they can not send me a list of damages. They must send the sec.dep. to the tenant or they can sue by going to the district justice's office and sue for it back and the landlord cannot counterclaim, or if they want to be a B**ch, tenant can sue for double the money, but landlord can try to counterclaim.

Also my mother fell down the steps on the side of the building & ended up having blunt trauma,and contusion of arm.I've called repeatedly months ago about the light being burnt out, the railing not even in the ground,but they did nothing. they don't salt the walkways nor plow the lot. It's supposed to be a secure building,but the door is on the ground! When they try to fix it he will drill a few holes to make it last a day or two, then it's back on the ground for a few weeks!

I could go on & on but I'm wasting your time.The favor I will give you is run!!! This is the worse place I've ever lived in!! Don't ever even think about renting from these selfish asses! I bet if I didn't pay my rent the manager would be calling me asking where it is... HMMM... maybe I can get them on the phone after all :) If anyone has a petition I will gladly sign it, probably most the tenants will as well!!

ALL LOBOS RESIDENTS. Contact the Allegheny County Health Department and file a complaint. It takes a couple of weeks to get it moving but it will end up costing the Sobol family in the long run to correct the deficiencies. A little bit of pay back for all the misery they have caused people over the years.

These reviews are undoubtedly true. I have lived in a Lobos unit for a mere three months and this list of problems that I've encountered in unfathomable; here are a few:

- Mailboxes (which are located in unlocked lobby off a main street) are left opened and unlocked
- Window has fallen out and has never been replaced (despite numerous attempts)
- Washers and dryers in building never work and Lobos will not refund money spent to use them
- Both sink and bathtub have chronic drip (that hasn't been fixed despite months of persistent complaining)
- Manager (the guy with the feminine voice) is extremely rude and unapproachable
- Carpets are filthy
- Doors to "secure buildings" are never locked
- And I am currently processing a complaint that would shock readers; however, I am waiting until it is handled before disclosing it publicly

PLEASE POST YOUR PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPANY AS MANY OF YOU COULD BE REMEDIED THROUGH CIVIL ACTION.
WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS COMPANY TO DUPE HELPLESS TENANTS INTO LEASING FROM THEM

These people are truly wicked. The crazy thing is they keep buying more buildings. They must be stopped!

I agree on what you guys said. This is indeed a worse place to rent it off from. LOBOS Management. They really dont care about how many times you call them. Yes, Ron as an asshole, and yes I agree Mindy is the biggest bitch. word of advice is dont rent it from LOBOS.

As a former employee of Lobos I can tell you it's worse then they say.
I actually got fired for fixing an a/c for a tenant who wasn't late or a bad resident in any way. They were more worried about an unready unrented unit then a good resident.

The owner fired my husband because he fixed a residents A/C (and no this resident wasn't a bad resident or late on his rent). The management was more concerned with an unready vacant unit then they were an actual resident.

I have lived at the Waverly Street Apartments for 1 1/2 years. Why I renewed my lease I will never know. The building is currently under citation by the Allegheny County Health Department for over 20 issues ranging from electric to water to safety. Too many concerns to list here. HOW THESE PEOPLE STAY IN BUSINESS IS A MYSTERY TO ME. I have already acquired the services of an attorney to set the stage for when my lease is up. I can kiss my security deposit good bye as I know 4 people who have moved out in the past year and did not get it back. I have in my possession a shut off notice from the water company for Lobos failure to pay their water bill. We get them, along with the same from the light company on regular basis. I have been without a bathroom ceiling for over 4 months, the Health Department came and cited them, Lobos has not addressed the repairs and filed an appeal (go figure). I called maintenance for the repairs, got ignored for months then was told they could not get into the apartment, the keys did not work. Here's the story. 6 months after moving in my deadbolt lock broke. I called for repairs and called for repairs and called for repairs. Frustrated, I switched the lock myself. I mailed a key with my check. They cashed my check but claimed they never got the key. How is that possible? After calling maintenance to report an electric fire in the laundry room (which took 2 weeks for them to address) I received a call from Ron Sobol wanting to know what my problem was and why was I being so difficult. I suppose I should have been more understanding of his situation of collecting my rent check on a regular basis but ignoring water pouring in my ceiling. I guess his legal practice keeps him too busy to address the issues associated with the buildings he owns. I am writing this to forewarn people of the potential problems they will face from renting from these people. Also, my mother did not raise a dummy, I am doing this to leave a paper trail for when the upcoming litigation with Lobos begins. Hopefully Ron and Lori are excellent attorneys as I am not going away quietly. I have even set up a security camera in my apartment to document who is coming and going as I DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.

I Completely agree with everything said about Lobos. I must tellyou all this . I used to work for these people and they treat their employees as bad as the tennants. I Used to take calls reguarding repairs and maintenance whenever i would call a maintenance person to give them a repair order i would be told " I will try to get to it im busy" then they would forget. and I would be the one taking all the abuse from the tenants and more so from Bernie Sobol the owner. If they wern't so friggin cheap they would hire a few more maintenance people. The 3 managers Ron Lori Mindy are the rudest people ever. One reason many security deposits are not returned is because when a tenant writes a letter stating they are not renewing their lease Mindy loses them or throws them out and they say they never got it. She is the one who will tell you "We'll sue you for your rent ' then hangs up on you .They think because Ron and Lori are lawers they can do whatever they want to people. My only regret about quitting there is i didn't SPIT in Bernie and Rons faces before i left .
