The request gets completed without any notice, without follow up, and only after repeated nagging.

I've been on our HOA board for almost seven years. During that time, we have had two different…read moremanagement companies before contracting with Cityscape. We thought both companies would be a good fit; however, neither company gave us the services we were promised. When we switched to Fredy Peccorini of Cityscape, I was the president of the HOA board, which meant I communicated with Fredy multiple times a week. From the beginning, Fredy was more efficient in following through on emails and communicated with us promptly. In addition to Fredy's amazing organizational skills, he had a list of go-to people from electricians to attorneys. He demonstrated that he had a very good relationship with these contacts. All of this made my job as president much easier. It was a pleasure working with Fredy. It wasn't until the second year that I learned he had 15 years of experience managing condos, which shows. I can't thank Fredy enough for all he has done and continues to do for us.

Completely disappointed in the lack of proactiveness and overall poor service of this property…read moremanagement company. I lived in my building for almost 4 years, and Francis Serrano (the point-of-contact who manages the building) had repeatedly remained unresponsive or unhelpful when the unit owner (my landlord) and I would flag some concerns about a potential mice infestation in the building. Instead of taking initiative into identifying the root cause, Francis sent my landlord an email that says that "rodents are a common issue in San Francisco" and basically is hands-off in trying to treat the individual units beyond adding rodent boxes in the trash room. She implied that it was my responsibility to keep the unit clean, as if she was implicating that I was the one living in squalor and started the infestation. I ended up reporting it to SFDPH, where they discovered that the unit next to me had an infestation due to leaving dog food out and not tidying up after her pet. They also found some violations in the building, like a large gap under the door sweep of the trash room as a potential entry point. In addition, the light wells around the building were covered with debris and trash. After speaking with pest control services, they explained that the mouse chewed an entryway from my neighbor's unit and into my own, escaping from behind my dishwasher and scurrying from under my oven. I eventually moved out of the building since writing this review. Before leaving, I discovered from other residents and tenants (including HOA members) that they were not informed that there was a mice infestation in the building. There were other residents who were left to fend for themselves, purchasing traps from Amazon and met with delayed action or similarly dismissive responses from Francis. I decided to share this experience after some time, because I wanted to warn others about this property management company and the lack of urgency and competence in how they handled this situation. They merely felt obligated to address the problem after getting a formal report from SFDPH, rather than listening to the concerns from their residents. If you can, stay away at all costs.

We were interested in renting an apartment that Golden Gate Properties is listing, but we were told…read morethat "all parties intending on residing in the unit are required to attend the in-person viewing together." We then asked if being from out-of-state, and being in the middle of a global pandemic and shelter-in-place order could allow us to do a virtual tour instead, and we were told that that is not an option, and that their policy remains that all potential tenants must tour in-person. In normal times, this policy may be understandable (though it does seem discriminatory against potential renters not already living in San Francisco), but I believe that this is entirely irresponsible and unacceptable while under the shelter-in-place order. Worse yet, it also appears that this policy may be illegal. The following quotation is pulled directly from the current shelter-in-place order from the SF Department of Health website: "Service providers that enable real estate transactions (including rentals, leases, and home sales), including, but not limited to, real estate agents, escrow agents, notaries, and title companies, provided that appointments and other residential real estate viewings must only occur virtually or, if a virtual viewing is not feasible, by appointment with no more than two visitors at a time residing within the same household or living unit and one individual showing the unit (except that in person visits are not allowed when the occupant is present in the residence)" All things considered, I'm happy that we won't be able to rent from this company due to their exclusionary policy. If you're considering whether or not to rent with them, please seriously consider if you would want to support these questionable practices. === 6/29/2020 update after response from Ferdinand=== I appreciate that Ferdinand read my review and took the time to reply. I am also glad to hear that you don't feel that your policy is in violation of the shelter-in-place order, although I stand by my initial comments. To be fair, I am also including a link to the full text of the current order that I referenced, and the quote I pulled is found on page 13: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07e-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order-as-revised.pdf The order clearly states that tours "must only occur virtually" and that in-person tours should only be held when "a virtual viewing is not feasible." Your team makes no good faith effort to conduct a virtual tour, and the excuse that LTE coverage isn't reliable across all of SF is extremely flimsy -- you should know that your competitors have no issues conducting virtual tours. Even if you feel that your policy isn't violating the order, it's unfortunate that you don't recognize how unsafe and unwise it is. You have chosen to exploit the wording of the order and needlessly place your staff and potential tenants at greater risk of covid exposure. That's just not the right thing to do.

My family has been in the property management business all of my life. I know first hand the amount…read moreof time and dedication that it takes to keep clients and tenants both pleased. Even though you may know how to manage a property, it doesn't mean that you can or even should! And I had found myself in this position with my first big investment, a multi tenant property. The moment I found myself trying to capture photos, screening applicants and managing maintenance requests, I realized I was in over my head and about to lose it. Insert Ferdinand with Golden Gate Properties. Initially, I called without any expectation that I would hire a property management group at all but I was overwhelmed with a growing count of unattended and upset tenants. Ferdinand walked me through their process, asked me what was overwhelming me and about the properties. He even offered his own helpful advise, without expectation that I would pursue them. Needless to say, I decided to hire them and let them take the wheel! About 2 years later and I am still so pleased with the incredible and professional services from G2P. My properties are full, tenants are happy, maintenance taken care of and I have a lot less stress on my plate. I cannot thank Misty and Ferdinand enough for everything that they do!

We chose Ken with Kinry & Associates when managing our small (13 unit) condominium complex became…read moresomething the owners were no longer enjoying doing!   I took over managing our unit as my dear father hit his 90s, and he started bringing me to the HOA board meetings.  I was very impressed with how calmly and skillfully Ken handles the often disagreeing varied owners!   He does an excellent job helping us decide what to prioritize.  Challenging!, as some of our younger owners want to keep HOA dues low, to attract buyers if they decide to sell, while some of the long-time owners want to avoid any large expenses (like for a new elevator) down the road by saving the money ahead of time.   Ken has always been masterful with explaining the various aspects to us, and recommending what he thinks, without expecting our agreement.  He truly understands how to serve his clients. He has been very good at finding affordable and competent companies to do the regular and occasional maintenance, like replacing our flat tar roof, or keeping the old hot water boiler going. And in obtaining bids for the less common occurrences, like an attorney to update our outdated CC&Rs. Ken's staff has also been very kind, and helpful.  Important, as sometimes some of us neglect to put our recycling or trash into the correct bins, in the only way the garbage company will pick up.  If we don't do it properly, the garbage company will leave our bins, or charge us more, so someone has to manage this if we don't, to save us money and headaches! I have worked with Kinry & Assoc for about 8 years, and been thoroughly impressed with their work and caring.  And their affordability. I don't think you could find a better company to manage your building!
