My first long-distance rental property was truly in good hands because of Eddie. We've had a great…read moreexperience working with him, and we originally found him through Yelp recommendations - now I understand why he's so highly rated. Eddie has built his business on a strong reputation, and after working with him for the past few years, I've seen firsthand why. He is trustworthy, respectful, and genuinely cares about both the property and the tenants. His communication is excellent and he is always responsive, which is especially important for me as a long-distance investor. I'm grateful to have him as my property manager and have never regretted the decision. His company also handles construction and helps find good investment properties, which adds even more value. I highly recommend Eddie and his services. He's not only a great property manager but also a great person - and a dedicated father as well.

There were several issues within the building during my time at the apartment but all issues were resolved in a timely manner and issues are to be expected in an old building. One thing worth noting is that it's impossible to get ahold of anybody from their team on the phone. Text Messages are sometimes responded to but the best way to contact DBO is through email which they typically answer pretty quickly. The only other negative is the building appearance on the inside and out. They did recently repaint all of the apartment doors but the overall cleanliness on each floor could use some love. Im sure the apartment already had years of landlord special paint jobs when they took over this building and at that point what can you really do haha but it would have been nice if the building was more maintained. All in all DBO is pretty dope! Thanks!

I lived at 568 Park Ave from November 13, 2015 to August 2016. I have to say the professionalism…read moreand overall decorum of the staff that was there at the time was UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, LAZY, and most of all GREEDY!!! Within the first month i discovered multiple issues, toxic black mold in the basement right under my bedroom (sent me to the hospital multiple times), off gassing sewage from a previously fixed sewage pipe bursting that they fixed but no one bothered to clean up the nastiness that was left. At which point I notified EPM and stated that until these issues were resolved I would be withholding rent and placed it in an escrow account until such time as they would meet with me. They didn't meet with me until December 4th to hear my concerns, I met with the office Manager and their head of maintenance guy, they showed up 45 mins late, they were rude, condescending, made me feel very humiliated and belittled, laughed at me when I expressed my concerns, and just treated me with such blatant disrespect that I couldn't even get my words out to express my frustration. However we did came to an agreement and I submitted my rent for that month, Well that's where things get really messed up, the bank stopped the transaction due to a fraud alert, EPM didn't notify me of the failed Transaction until December 10th at which point I went and got them a money order for my rent. You would think that would clear things up. Not so much, I later get a phone call stating that I still owed a balance of roughly another's month rent. I was dumbfounded. The next day I get served with court papers, they moved to have me evicted. Their reasoning: my actions of withholding rent until the issues were addressed "scared" them (their words) Needless to say I went to court and I'll advise this to anyone that goes to court if you have evidence and can back up your case - DO NOT TALK TO THEIR ATTORNEY BEFORE TALKING TO THE JUDGE. I repeat DO NOT SPEAK TO THEIR ATTORNEY. He is just as sleazy and corrupt as EPM staff. He doesn't care if you have documentation and photos, somehow he manipulates what you say and twist it to fit his narrative. i ultimately ended up paying nearly $600 just after Christmas, then had to turn around a week later and pay January rent. So $1900 in their pockets just because they didn't want to maintain the dwelling properly. But January - July, I made sure to not cross paths with them, i went out of town for 3 weeks in August, thankfully had a friend stay at the house while i was gone, cause... I get word that not only had they tried to break into my apartment while i was out of town but they had served me a notice to vacate, without even bothering to contact me to see what was going on. I had a death in my family and they didn't even care. Empire Property Management does not take care of the properties they manage nor do they care about the tenants that rent them. Any reviews on here that give them 5 stars are written by their clients that own the properties, not by the tenants that actually live in them. Upon my move out I made damn sure to leave the place 1000 times better than it looked when i moved in. (It had not been cleaned when i moved in) paint was peeling from the walls, bathroom floor was rotted, amongst other things, but I went through and fixed all of those issues including fixing the bathroom floor with the help of my friend Steve. I purchased a brand new lock set for the front and back door and gave them the keys, yet they still changed them back to some beat up brass ones that looked like they had been busted with a hammer and they charged me $250 for that, $2000 for two small spots if mismatched paint, and i even left them the gallon of paint that was for that room. They even moved a new tenant in and he was using the utilities that were still in my name for 3 days before i was able to get them disconnected. Regardless in the end I got out without much of a fight, and they made over $6000 from me while i lived there and had I known what i know now I would have looked elsewhere for a place to live. Im honestly surprised that no one has reported them or even collectively sued them in a class action lawsuit. HERES A NOTICE TO YOU EPM, being sleazy and hiding behind the title of just property management to get around the law is gonna catch up to you one day. Most of your clients are people that are your relatives or friends. Might not be illegal but it's shady and unethical. Get some morals and integrity.

Disclosure: this review is from 2013…read more.. For starters - I chose not to rent with this property management company. I am leaving a review based on my experience with them while looking for a rental when I relocated from out of state. Property management companies are not a thing where I'm from. You pick an apartment and they are often pretty nice with amenities that may include gyms, w/d in unit, central air/heat, a pool, perhaps even a basketball or tennis court. Units are also reasonably priced and well-maintained. Of course, you can always rent from a landlord, but it was a bit rare to deal with an actual "management" company. So. This experience was new. Before physically locating to Albany, I looked at a variety of places online including rentals from EPM (yes you, not ERE). I thought - 'meh, they look ok'. Let me tell you all something. Albany is pretty good about a lot of things, but one of the biggest problems is that they DO NOT keep landlords and these purported "management" companies in check. Never have I seen anything like the rentals that I saw (including those from EPM) at the price points they were at. It's truly absurd. Anyway, I saw photos of the properties I was interested in before moving to Albany. I was a little skeptical, but I stopped by their office anyway. 1st sign of trouble - they kept their office locked during regular business hours and required appointments. I was spending the summer in a nearby state and decided to go house hunting in Albany for a week. I explained that to them and I was let in. The woman I interacted with seemed fairly uneasy - my initial thought was 'why - what is, so bad about your tenants that you need to keep your doors locked'. I got over it. 2nd issue - the "apartments" were basically holes in the wall of multifamily buildings that shouldn't be anything more than duplexes. The paint was caked on all the walls and trim. It just looked bad all the way around. So when I noticed (3rd problem) the x 2 month rent security deposit - I was like "wtf?" It dawned on me that they likely going to nickel and dime people for everything they can get and that they probably target folks that do not have the means to take them to court. So. That was a no go for me. I left this review because I just read a few of the responses left by EPM to some of these reviews (even those that aren't recommended). Your decision to respond with personal information about former tenants is malicious and unprofessional. It's a similar to the feeling that I had from interacting with you for a few days. I am now certain that I will not do business with you (as an owner or tenant) and will make sure to deter anyone that asks me about your company. It's beyond clear that you're in it for a paycheck.

Nicole is very kind and a good person and has always treated us and our neighbors that are managed by the same company with the care we deserve, and the way a property manager should treat a tenant she has never been hard to reach in a time of need. and by the way now a days every once texting and emailing so if you get a reply from her threw a text, than its a great thing, it means shes working on it , I know from my last management before these guys took for ever to get back to us, it would be myself or my husband calling several times before we could get anyone to lift a figure. If you contacted the office and leave a message with your address and issue she does reply asap. which ever way is fastest and we know shes always ruining around showing property so if its not her its someone from the office. what more could you ask for? Thanks For your Ear Happy Tenants Here :)
