Friendship House Apartments

As a friend to a resident at the Friendship house in Cortland, New York.. I couldn't believe how that place has gone to hell. I moved a friend of mine there several years ago. It was a very pleasant experience . But I have gone back many time to visit an I find it totaling disgusting. The place smelled of old garbage an looking in to the room that it was held in totaling full an bugs flying around. This is on the second floor that Brian was supposedly responsible for..the hallways were dirty an obviously not vacume for awhile. It's a shame that it is mis- managed this way. I haven't been back in two months because of the smells. The back bin outside has been over filled with junk an old furniture. It really is sad ..I have had several older friends ask me about Friendship house an I tell

SO-SO-SAD ,Born and raised in Cortland the Friendship House for over 30 yrs. had the best reputation . Been here for about 7yrs from what it was then to what it has become is dishearten ( breaks ones heart ). Friendship House reputation in Cortland businesses and even the Hospital have gone from 5 stars to 0. Residents are afraid to give you reviews because of possible repercussions. Complaints turned , pictures by residents taken and shown of problems no results just lame excuses. There was a hustle here for two days when HUD was to come. Residents laughed on how things were trying to get done that should have been months ago. I am sorry to have to write this but residents that have lived here for 12 to 17 yrs. have stated they have never heard of these people whom claimed to

When I first came here four years ago it was great but in the past two years the place has gone downhill trash piles up in trash rooms common areas don’t get vacuumed and or mopped repairs in apartments don’t get done management and staff let bullying and harassment of tenants happen on daily basis it’s suppose to be a secure locked building but it’s not anyone can enter without being buzzed in not a safe place to live anymore and property manager says or there’s nothing I can do so management really doesn’t care about the tenants or the building it’s a sad state of affairs here don’t move here things have gotten worse since I posted this review the holdings in terrible disrepair and no one in management seems to care the office manager is terrible she plays favorites and discriminates

This is a fantastic senior housing facility! The building and community area and community room are very well maintained and clean. Their apartments are all in fantastic like new condition. They are fair in size but the kitchenettes are a little small. I've had several family members lease apartments from them and my 93 year old grandmother has lived there around 20 years and loves the place and is happy she made the decision to leave her independent apartment to move into the community based apartments that The Friendship House offers.

I have lived here for 11 years .not perfetion..but a safe clean home..when I moved in the manager screened applications very carefully..possibly breaking HUD guidelines..maintenance would hang pictures and help..with your internet..now the applications are taken...background checks are done and we have sometimes housed someone who needs a higher level of housing .due to age..mental or physical disability...98% of the residents are great..that 2% usually don't last long..
