The Burton Foundation - Elgin, Illinois

Management of Emma’s Landing in Geneva IL is terrible! I have found 6 convicted felons residing there at one time or another, and the city’s first tragic double homicide in history happened here in December 2024. Application guidelines are not adhered to and management is not on site Friday-Sunday.

They build low income housing in the middle of high income communities and then wonder why the poor kids can't assimilate! They have an excellent recipe for disaster!

Extremely rude on the phone. I was hoping to gather information for helping an elderly relative with a living arrangement and was just told over and over, we are booked and there is an extremely long waiting list and I can't help you. Tracy from The Burton Foundation talks about how this is her life and passion, and she eats, breaths and lives helping people, but that is not the vibe at all you get when you call their locations. Just rude and clearly did not want to spend any time on the phone to help. It makes me sick that she is getting another location in Elgin and how those poor people will be treated.

The abuse towards their disabled tenants is absolutely disgusting!
Upon visiting one of their relatively new apartment buildings, I saw someone had etched “Pretty Prison” on a metal surface. How apt that description is. The building LOOKS nice, but very cheap materials were used in building it. They honor very few maintenance requests. I assume they don’t treat the building managers very well either considering the rate of turn over. I’ve heard stories from multiple tenants regarding maintenance requests, code violations, illegal inspections & berating the tenants in the process. Currently, they are threatening eviction of as many of their disabled tenants as possible in order to gentrify the building. This is also evident in the fact that over the past 2 years (approximately) people have moved out & the apartments have not been rented out & are sitting vacant. Upon making a few inquiries about moving in, it was stated each time that they don’t have any available apartments!! In addition to the people who have moved out, there have been at least 3 deaths in the building within the last year (not Covid related.) but yet, no available apartments..hmmmmmm

Do yourself a favor and never rent an apartment that this "foundation" has anything to do with, including property management. They're nothing but a bunch of bullies that bully people with handicaps. They have a creepy maintenance man to drive back and forth all day looking at people like he's Barney Fife. Incompetent bullies.
