The founder of dog owner-focused apartment communities in Grapevine and North Garland alleges the largest apartment management company in the country,...
Steve Bardack, founder of Dane Park Communities, filed a lawsuit in Dallas County District Court Wednesday morning against Greystar Management Services, Greystar Real Estate Partners, GREP Texas, GREP General Partner and two individual defendants.
“Greystar promised to help him implement that vision, but the lawsuit alleges that, instead, Greystar’s gross mismanagement of Dane Park Grapevine put it at risk. The lawsuit details how Greystar then sought to cover-up its malfeasance by lying to residents and defaming plaintiffs. It also lays out the negative impact Greystar’s wrongdoing had on Plaintiffs’ finances, as well as the wellbeing of tenants and their beloved pets.
“The maintenance department employed by Greystar was already understaffed and poorly trained, and thus the loss of the team’s manager caused unaddressed resident work orders to quickly pile up,” according to the lawsuit. “In response, Greystar simply intentionally closed thousands of work orders without actually completing any of the work.
The suit alleges Greystar failed to remediate apartment units on the ground floor that suffered flood damage, taking them out of the rental inventory, failed to properly prepare units for new residents moving in, who found their apartments lacked smoke detectors, were “filthy” and had missing or broken fixtures.
Greystar also allegedly failed to pay the trash collection vendors, prompting the city of Grapevine to call Bardack directly to alert him to the “health and safety hazard” caused by piles of garbage overflowing the dumpsters.In March 2024, Bardack toured the Grapevine property with potential investors considering a $750 million investment in the Dane Park concept.
