No matter what you do, stay away from Hudson Property Management (HPM). They present themselves as…read morea modern mgmt company with a flashy web portal where residents and condo board members can put work orders in, but it is all just flash. HPM has terrible service, instead of sending a person to oversee problems and repairs, they send "protocol", documents that are full of disclaimers to remind owners that HPM is not responsible for anything, and you are on your own. When water is pouring into your apartment, the last thing you need is a document called "leak protocol". When a major event occurs in your building, you need somebody from the management company on site to oversee the incident, you don't need a protocol document to tell you that you are on your own. The brothers that own HPM, are seriously bombastic AF. Ask the poor Parking utility guy that was simply trying to buy lunch at Fiore's a few months ago when he got aggressively harassed by one of the brothers who was pissed that he got a parking ticket. Or ask any of the multiple unit owners who've been aggressively yelled at by the brothers that "your building is a piece of shit, you are lucky that we are managing it for you" HPM Refuses to share financial documents with unit owners, in order to see anything financial related you must go to the HPM office in person during business hours, you must view them on a monitor, you cannot take pictures, you cannot take notes, you cannot pass go, you cannot collect $200, and they stand over you while viewing the docs. At the first sign of snow each year, many management companies will send out a notice reminding you to be careful, letting you know when your entryway will be shoveled, and letting you know how to contact them if there's an emergency. At the first sign of snow each year, HPM sends out a disclaimer reminding you that HPM is not responsible for any injuries or for clearing the sidewalks or for anything. Need your lightbulbs changed, no problem, put in a work order and HPM is sure to have the bulb changed within a few months , yes MONTHS. Moving in? Moving out? You need to pay HPM a $300 "non-refundable inspection fee", this is to have somebody from HPM come to your building to look at the walls after you move. Sure, maybe you can justify this as a service fee, but HPM will never actually show up to do that inspection. Damage in the building's hallway? No problem, just open a work order and HPM will send somebody out in 4 to 6 months to take care of the damage. Maybe they will fix it right the first time, but probably not. HPM has their own cleaning business that does things like taking your garbage out or cleaning the building. Watch out, they will make your building look worse than it looked before they cleaned. Want to rent your unit out, HPM will harass you to pay them for unit management services. HPM is shady AF, they frequently hide work orders on their portal and they have stopped showing the dates that entries were made on the portal (so you can't figure out how long it takes them to get stuff done). Have an opinion about HPM? Post a review? Want to share it on the Internet? Maybe put it on Reddit? Get ready, you will get harassing threats from HPM's lawyer "remove your review or we will sue you" They are full of excuses, their service is terrible, they are a disgrace that will run your building into the ground.

I am writing to follow up on the review I posted about the management on google . I appreciate that…read moreyou responded to my review; however, I need to address several inaccuracies and provide additional context. Firstly, I understand that the owner's responsibility includes paying for repairs within their unit. My original request was for the management to address issues in the common areas, specifically the hallways. Other tenants have been moving beds through these hallways uncovered, leading to a bed bug infestation throughout the building. Despite this being a clear management responsibility, my requests were ignored until I involved the health department, who then mandated immediate action. Regarding your response, you are correct that Adam was the exterminator. The manager I referred to in my complaint was Eric, who was extremely rude. As someone who works in property management, I am fully aware of the distinction between owner and management responsibilities. Additionally, I recently had a plumbing issue which a plumber identified as originating from another apartment. Despite calling at least four times and leaving multiple voicemails, my calls went unanswered. I have attached screenshots showing my call history, which contradicts your claim that there are no records of my calls. Each voicemail was over a minute long. Furthermore, I submitted several work orders that also went unanswered. It was only after contacting Donald, the president of the board, that any action was taken, and I am currently awaiting his follow-up. It is unreal for me to have to escalate issues to this level, especially when I pay for management services to handle common areas and building issues. Worse management company. I see they got sued already. I can't wait to potentially do the same! See below for each time I called and left a voicemail with no response.

Your funds will be mismanaged, some bills will go unpaid, while other bills will be unnecessarily paid (RELB paid our Verizon bill for 8 months after we directed them to cancel). We were fined for some code violations 3 years ago, and never informed because the notice went to RELB. For 3 years late fees and fines piled up to a total of $3600 while none of the property owners were aware. Not to mention that Burk will require at least 3-5 reminders before completing any request that has to do with your building. Not once in 5 years of dealing with him did he complete a request the first time we asked for it. After owner meetings, he would promise to send minutes and follow-up documents and not provide these for months on end, until we would give up and just stop asking for them. I suspect other funny business with the money management, but cannot prove it due to the limited view of what we can see and access. If you see RELB or Chris Burk, turn and around and run away as fast as you can! I am honestly not sure if it is apathy or ineptitude, but either way the result is the same. Total calamity.

Upon the need to relocate back to NYC, my wife and I decided we wanted to keep our current home,…read moreand try our hand as landlords. With both my wife and I having very demanding schedules we decided to solicit the services of a property manager to handle the "landlord duties" for us. I interviewed literally (I repeat "literally") every property management firm in the tri state area. I work in the insurance field and know 1st hand how a property manager can make or break your dreams of being a landlord. I'm quite the picky individual, and frankly a very demanding person, especially when I'm the customer. Among every property management firm I met and vetted, only 1 stood out as competent, responsive and knowledgeable; and that's Abacus Avenue. My strong knowledge of property insurance gave me a real upper hand in vetting out the other wannabe property managers. Honestly folks, don't waste your time with calling anyone else. This demanding perfectionist here has done all that work for you. In the year that I've been in business with Abacus Avenue, I have nothing but positive feedback, and that's not something I say often. Knowledgeable, professional, forthcoming and attentive are words that sum up Abacus avenue. The full service they provide is second to none, from finding us a tenant, to vetting the tenant, to drafting a very comprehensive and protective lease and finally placing the tenant was a pleasure. The best part (for me personally) is that I never hear from them - they take care of everything for me and I'm confident that my property and my personal interests are in very good hands. My wife and I are looking for a second investment home, and their is no doubt in my mind that Abacus will be managing that property as well. Thanks Abacus Avenue - looking forward to our continued and growing relationship.

Was looking for an apartment to rent, stumbled onto one with this agency…read more When I toured the apartment, the realtor assured me it would be fixed up after I signed the lease. Do not fall for these tricks; only the barest of the minimums will be done. It was extremely dirty, there were buckets of paint still left over. Turns out they were in the middle of their "cleaning". I ended up needing to move in 4 days into my lease. Not great. Afterwards, I noticed a ton of issues. Black mold on vents, dripping faucets, broken window screens... the repair-workers evidently didn't give it a good pass. They take a while to respond to requests and issues (usually a 2-3 week lead time, sometimes over a month), and there's a good amount of them. Their phone number isn't very receptive, and their lease agreement is extremely limiting. I strongly encourage you to read it in depth; a lot of renter rights are signed away. I would not recommend living in a building owned by this agency. The one star is for the fact that the apartment was quite cheap.

Thank You & Outstanding Review for Etai from DVORA…read more I want to sincerely thank Etai for his exceptional work as our building manager. After more than 15 years of ongoing radiator issues and getting nowhere with previous management teams, Etai finally resolved the problem efficiently and thoroughly. Etai is responsive, proactive, and truly committed to getting things done. He follows through, communicates clearly, and makes residents feel heard and respected. His dedication and professionalism have made a noticeable difference in the quality of living in our building. It is rare to find a building manager who takes such pride in their work and consistently delivers results. Etai sets a new standard for management, and our building is far better because of him. Highly recommended. Tenant at Fairmount Building Jersey City

I'm a current tenant at DVORA Hamilton House, and unfortunately, I've had an extremely…read moredisappointing experience with how management has handled serious maintenance and habitability issues in our unit over the past several months. We moved in End of August 2024. From October 2024 through February 2025, we faced repeated breakdowns of essential systems that made the apartment borderline unlivable at times: No heat for nearly two full months (Dec 5 - Feb 2), during winter. We had to purchase and operate space heaters at our own expense. We also had to seek shelter at family's/friend's houses during really cold days because it was unlivable. Dryer malfunctioned for nearly a month (Oct 18 - Nov 13), with zero follow-up for weeks despite repeated requests. Refrigerator failed in February, resulting in about $300 in food spoilage. The response was delayed, and no compensation was offered. We also experienced ongoing problems with the stove, toilet, dishwasher, and the electronic door lock, all met with slow or no response. We submitted multiple written complaints and even issued a formal legal demand on April 10. Despite all this, DVORA failed to offer any resolution or compensation by our requested deadline. Their overall lack of responsiveness has been one of the most frustrating parts of this experience -- especially considering the premium pricing of this building. As a result, we have formally filed complaints with Jersey City Housing Code Enforcement and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and we've issued a 60-day lease termination notice. We're currently planning to move out by June 25, 2025. I understand that occasional maintenance issues happen in any building, but DVORA's long delays, lack of communication, and failure to acknowledge tenant hardship are unacceptable -- especially for a property that markets itself as luxury living. I hope this review helps future renters make an informed decision.

I would give 5 stars to the maintenance team. They would always help me out in a timely manner. These apartments are furnished with very low-quality products and things are always breaking. Also, they charge your friends for joining you at the pool!

As first time homebuyers, we needed a lot of hand holding and advice, and we came to the right place. Vanessa made the process of searching for a home as enjoyable and easy as possible. She worked around our busy schedules and struck the right balance between advising us in certain key areas and letting our preferences guide the search. We so enjoyed spending time with her and getting to know her throughout the search process. Vanessa clearly takes pride in her work, and once we had chosen the home we wanted to purchase, she worked tirelessly to make sure we got it. Her advice could only have come from deep experience in the field. We really became a team at that point, and Vanessa made sure that as much work as we had to do, we also took time to celebrate and enjoy the experience. For anyone looking to purchase a home in the area, we cannot recommend Vanessa, and Silverman, highly enough!

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
