Barbara Groden is the owner and is the absolute worst of the bunch. She clearly has set the tone for all the employees to just ignore shareholders issues or flat out refuse to correct any issue that arises. The board should be embarrassed and ashamed for keeping this company as it is a hindrance to everyone who lives in the building. These are not rentals and people cannot just move out yo get away from this problem. This affects resale value of every person who lives in a building managed by this company. Also, the environment of your building is affected by neighbors who hate each other and there are actual fights between neighbors since the policy of West-Ex is to tell you to call the police on your neighbors rather than to enforce the "house rules".

I don't even know where to start…read more I've rented 5 different commercial spaces in my life, and nothing even came close to the horrid experience I had with RPM. First of all, the building I was in (219 Westchester Ave, Port Chester NY) was severely neglected. Things would break every other week, the elevator was a deathtrap, the heat only worked when it felt like it, the intercom was barely functional, and the list goes on & on. One time one of my neighbors' clients got trapped in the elevator for 30 minutes. She was screaming & panicking & everything. Super crazy situation. The company knew these things and dragged their feet as much as possible with solutions, which was very aggravating. Secondly when I moved into the space, much like the building itself, the space was in terrible condition. The walls had chipped paint everywhere, there were stains on the ceiling tiles & many more things were wrong with it. I reached out to the landlord about redoing these things and asked if he'd cover it (mainly the painting). His response was he'd give me a $500 concession to do the work, which for an 900 sqft space is very, very low. I denied and asked for more, in which he said "Instead of a concession you can just paint it now and then leave it that way when you leave, so that saves you from painting again." I agreed to this, painted the walls and later replaced the ceiling tiles (my tiles were a modern, sleek looking black ones). When the lease expired, he attempted to charge me to replace my tiles with white ones again, taking the money from my security deposit. I refused this, stating that I had permission to do the swap and there was no damage to the panels, it was just his personal preference. In response, RPM came up with an absolutely insane list of deductions for the space, somehow magically totaling $4,000, the entirety of my security deposit. Photos are attached showing this exchange. The funniest part is they charged me $2,806 for repainting, but would only offer me a $500 concession to do the work myself. That in my opinion speaks volumes on the ethics of RPM. Maybe even funnier than that is they still have the photos from my paint job and ceiling listed in their official renting photos on loopnet, despite ALL THIS MONEY they spent refurbishing the space. My advice: if you see anything represented by RPM Westchester, run for the hills. Also if you're already doing business with them, document everything. EVERYTHING. Paperwork & photos are necessary against a company like this. Lastly, if you find yourself in a similar situation as me, there are steps you can take to fight back. Do your research. There are several organizations that assist tenants in fighting back against companies like this. Some of these organizations include: - Westchester Courts where you can file claims (different monetary values need to be filed in different courts, do your research) - The NYS Attorney General's office (you can file complaints on their website) - The town / city building department (in my case, the Port Chester Code Enforcement Department) - The Westchester Consumer Protection Department - The Better Business Bureau - The Real Estate Licensing Board (NYS Dept. of State Division of Licensing) - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD, file under the Fair Housing Act if this applies to you) - Everything listed above, along with leaving reviews on platforms like google, yelp, zillow, apartments.com and anywhere else applicable. Do not do business with Real Property Management Westchester, or any company that behaves in this way. I filed my city court case against them a few days ago. I will update this review with the results. Last last thing, I left this same review on google, to which the owner replied threatening to charge with legal fees if I pursue this case against them. This is an intimidation tactic, as neither side is responsible for compensating legal fees in small claims. It's just another example of how this company attempted to retaliate against me and bully me into silence.

This company deserves less than zero stars. They rented my family a severely neglected, uncared…read morefor house , and expect us to live in a construction zone and a nonstop state of repairs, while paying exorbitant rent. Frank Norwood has proven himself to be: 1) Dishonest: Prior to move in, Frank emailed me confirming that all windows and doors were in proper working order. (This was required in order to sign the lease). On my date of move-in, the front door lock did not work. In fact, it wasn't even installed properly, delaying our move-in by 3 days and causing us to have to stay at an AirBnB. 2) Unprofessional: It takes Frank DAYS to respond to respond to repair requests--there's always an excuse, and this applies any repairs--major or minor. 3) Irresponsible: Franks accepts ZERO responsibility/accountability for allowing health and safety hazards to go unresolved. 4) Lazy: There have been many issues with this home that if Frank would have taken the time, he would have found them and (hopefully) addressed them before renting the home and allowing a family to move in. Example: Frank didn't bother to note that this home has a septic tank (DUH- if there are no sewers on the road, then there's septic!). The septic backed up because it hadn't been pumped in 10-15 years, which led to a massive repair/construction. A little effort would have gone a long way. Frank consistently schedules appointments with vendors that either do not show up or show up very late; I've had to take personal time from work and rearrange my work and family schedules because the "property manager" has no regard for our time or convenience. RPM Westchester has breached the covenant of quiet enjoyment five times in the six months I have been here. They have zero regard for the noise going on for days at a time and how it disrupts our working and going to school from home arrangements. There are still a handful of repairs that have not been addressed since moving in; I have literally been forced, via non-action on the part of RPM Westchester, to hire contractors to address these issues. I signed a there year lease because I planned on staying here that long, but RPM Westchester has made that impossible. Upon receiving notification that I would be making repairs and deducting costs from the rent, I've received a barrage of emails from Frank that easily amount to harassment. I've made a formal complaint with the Board of Realtors and am looking at the reality of filing for constructive eviction and taking court action Doing Business with RPM Westchester (and especially Frank Norwood) has been nothing but I nightmare, and I recommend that anyone reading this take their housing needs anywhere else. I'd like to take a moment to share that Veronica is perfectly lovely and I believe she is the absolute best part of RPM Westchester :)

I looked up 710 and it is a co-op, so the management company is not who you would call. You would talk to the super first. They have always been very responsive to calls. The daily management of a building is left the supers of all co-ops, with the co-op boards making guided decisions about the funds and making other decisions about facilities. Maintenance of most buildings is usually managed buy the superintendents, and ours have always been great. We have had mostly incremental assessments over the time I have lived in the building, with the big ones to be expected of a pre-war building. A friend who is a real estate broker said that he is relieved when a building is managed by Blue Woods because he knows that the sale will go smoothly. While I have mostly dealt with the founder, our building is managed by Steve Wilson, and remains one of the best managed buildings in the neighborhood.
