Ji Law PLLC

Wei Ji, founder of Alliance Law, was my landlord for two years. My roommate and I lived in a private home in Queens. We made our checks out to Centre Street Irrevocable Trust, which shares a Centre Street address with her law practice. Her "business partner" Jing Deng is listed as the owner. From the beginning, she was erratic, unreliable and dishonest. She purchased the home in a foreclosure at the time we moved in, and doesn't care about the home or the tenants. You have to beg her for repairs. She ignores your requests or sends a team of contractors to do the work, the integrity of which is dubious. We ended up shouldering some of the repairs ourselves and deducting from the rent, such as a broken boiler. When you ask her to do her job, she immediately threatens to evict you. For example, when the boiler broke and we had no heat for a day and half, our neighbors filed a complaint with 311. She threatened to evict them if they did not withdraw the complaint. She said she wouldn't cash their rent checks, and that she'd claim that they weren't paying rent in order to justify evicting them. Several roof leaks, a roach infestation, a broken boiler, a permanently broken window, and multiple verbal (and written) threats of eviction later, and we're lucky enough to have moved out. As expected, however, she is not returning our security deposit and ignores our calls, emails and texts asking when and how she plans to return it. Although we have evidence to the contrary, she is lying about damages in the apartment and says we are "sick, money hungry people" for requesting our deposit be returned. Do no rent from Wei Ji and Centre Street Irrevocable Trust. And if her law practice is anything like her ability to be a landlord, steer clear of it as well.
