Parkoff Organization Jennifer Conticelli, Alison - leasing department rental scam, rental discrimination, rental application fraud Great Neck New York

The Parkoff Organization has come up with an interesting way to make money. They advertise several great apartments in upper Manhattan (e.., 98 Thayer street) and then accept applications with non-refundable fee of 100 dollars. The applications are denied without any reason (often they do not even return your phone calls or screen you), and the scam continues. Several real estate brokers already stopped showing Parkoff apartments because they stay empty for months. 

People of interest: supervisor of leasing department Alision and her assistant Jennifer Conticelli, who encourage people to apply with and without brokers and then stop answering the calls after receiving the fee. 

A little birdie from NYPD also mentioned that Parkoff Organization company is currently being monitored by Secret Service and NYPD for potential participation in the identity theft ring. Several applicants fell victims of identity theft months after filing the personal information with Parkoff Organization.
