Incompetent management company
Pros
Kind people who have lived in the building for many years
Cons
A&E Real Estate are incredibly lazy and incompetent building managers who will happily ignore tenants as much as they can to avoid doing any work to fix maintenance or pest issues. They outsource their staff overseas so it's impossible to actually get ahold of anyone at the company. Our unit had an active ceiling leak for months and we had to threaten to take them to housing court before they finally paid attention and fixed it. There were may other maintenance issues that we never got fixed because it would have been too much work to get A&E to respond to us. When we renewed our lease, one of their staff members forgot to ever finish the paperwork and we didn't get a signed and completed lease until over a year later, at which point we were backcharged for the rent they forgot to charge us. They are disorganized and use the number of units they manage as an excuse. Avoid renting from them at all costs.
Advice to the owners
You should be ashamed of the low quality of your work. Start taking more responsibility and pride in what you do. Managing people's homes is a very important job and you fail miserably.
place of nightmares management didn’t care
Pros
there are some lovely neighbors and it’s a nice location, easy access to prospect park, botanic gardens, etc. the super Raul is very helpful but can only do so much when backed by a terrible management company
Cons
the management company was literally voted the worst in all of New York City and they earn their title regularly. Me and my neighbors both had giant holes in our ceiling and they went weeks without replying, leaks, mold, pipes that are disintegrating (we had plumbers tell us they’re most often at buildings owned by this management company) roaches and the like everywhere everywhere everywhere, a pest guy comes every few weeks and it barely makes a difference, buzzer disconnected, water damage in the lights, no working smoke detector need I go on
Advice to the owners
listen to your tenants? actually respond to emails? the hell?
