    Total neglect and unresponsiveness is the theme of this owner/management org
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    At present the service is so bad it is difficult to list any pros.
    Cons:
    Riseboro Management is dedicated to one thing, doing as little as possible and when they do attempt a correction, it is substandard. They hire people that have limited skills and express no motivation. They recently hired a defrocked Monsignor with no housing or supervisory experience.
    Advice to owner:
    Create a 5 person team of professionals to focus on correcting all their failures and select residents that are articulate and responsible enough to provide support for the 5 member team.
