This review would have been higher, but the management company at this building is absolutely…read moreAWFUL! I cannot stress enough how badly they impacted my 1.5 year living experience, During COVID, they shamelessly began charging people $500 to move out in addition to a $1,000 security deposit. When asked to justify this expense, they refuse to give any information other than "sanitizing the service elevator." In addition to this, they restrict moves to one in or one out per week, only on Saturdays between the hours of 9 am and 1 pm. They threatened to lock the doors if we didn't pay the $500, and if then would call the police if we told the movers to come in anyway. What a shameful money grab during a pandemic, during which they have not allowed any visitors to enter the building, have shut down the gym (understandable) and have shut down the pool. No other buildings in the area have such restrictions. The building itself is very nice (balconies with each unit, a doorman, a lovely lobby, mostly hardwood floors, etc.) but there are many aspects of living here that seem to be taking advantage of residents through policies that just cost residents money. For example, to get rid of any large pieces of trash (like furniture, for example), you have to bring it down to the basement yourself and then pay a fee for the building to dispose of it, when the town picks up large trash items for free. The pool is nice, but you have to pay $5 per guest if you'd like to enjoy it with others. There is a convenient store inside the building, but the prices are very high. A few things to note are that behind the building (where the pool is and where the parking garage is), wind seems to come through at a very high speed, like a wind tunnel. You need your keycard to get in and out of the building, in and out of various doors within the building, and to get out of the garage (so carry your building ID on you at all times!). It is nice to get a call from the front desk when your food delivery has arrived, but you have to go down to get it, rather than it being delivered to your door (due to building policy). And the elevators are regularly out of service, so be prepared to wait often, or take the stairs. All and all, I would never have chosen to live in this building had I known the distasteful experience that came along with dealing with its management company. This is definitely one of those, "looks like a good deal on the surface" type of deals, but the hidden fees, headaches, and disrespectful interactions with the building management company are not worth it!

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

Craig also made their day of apartment hunting super fun for them complete with a ride through the streets and park on City Bikes. I highly recommend Craig for any of your real estate needs.

I would recommend staying away from renting in a building managed by this group. Brandon Friedman…read moremade a conscious effort to keep our security deposit by billing us for "damages" that were either there before we moved in or normal day-to-day wear. Fortunately, we had dated photos of the apartment showing it was in the same shape as when we moved in a few years prior, and we were able to get most of our deposit back after a lot of back and forth. If you're a tenant in one of their buildings, I highly recommend documenting the condition of the apartment when you move in (missing screens in windows, small chips or scrapes, etc.). Otherwise, they will make every effort to keep your security deposit.

ok so I don't really write reviews but felt like i should for these guys. I have 2 properties in NJ…read more(one in kearny area, one further out) and was having a really hard time keeping up with everything especially the compliance stuff which honestly goes over my head half the time. Someone referred me to RPPM and I called them kind of skeptical bc I've had bad experiences before with management companies that just take your money and don't really do much. But these guys are different. John was straight with me from the jump, explained everything they do, didn't oversell it. They handled some violation issues I had pending and I didn't have to stress about it. Communications with my tenants have been way more professional than when I was doing it myself lol. I used to just text my tenants which I know is not the right way to do it. Only thing I'd say is sometimes I wish they responded a little faster but honestly when they do get back to me everything is thorough and correct so I think its just they are busy and doing things right rather then rushing. Not really a complaint just something I noticed. Overall very happy. Would def recommend to other landlords in NJ especially if your portfolio is growing and you cant manage everything yourself anymore. 5 stars from me

They handled all the photos, promotion, background checks and paperwork, really paying attention to what mattered to me personally, which was a huge weight off my mind whilst managing an international move.
