So, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate exceptions of excellent service and reliability; praising individuals who show competency and pride in their job duties, along with respect, courtesy, and value in their interactions. VNYPM has proven themselves to be this anomaly, deviating from low expectations by restoring confidence and care, rather than sustaining doubt and apathy. As a shareholder for nearly 20 years, in a Pre-War Queens Co-op building, my comparative observations about the detached, duplicitous, ineffective multiple management companies, and unqualified absent Supers I have had the misfortune to witness; have been transformed by Anes with his conscientious responsive team. Especially outstanding, Amy with her diligence, kindness, and delightful sense of humor; and, Izeta with her empathy, flexibility, and trustworthiness. Anes, one of the owners, is accessible via email or phone, and has responded promptly with genuine concern and diplomacy to any urgent matter I have had, particularly health related required accommodations. Thanks to Anes employing Neoly, we finally have a professionally skilled, and dependable live-in Super, who is attentive, friendly, and hard-working. When VNYPM was hired several years ago by our newly elected board, they took over a huge mess; from financial debt and instability, to prior mismanagement negligence, a mendacious incapable Super arduous to fire, and many complicated major repair and maintenance issues. Throw in a pandemic, which created complex and combative lockdown and safety issues to navigate, and additional financial strain on the residents and building. Because of the smart guidance and leadership of VNYPM, and their recommendations and partnership to the Board, it is really remarkable we are now in the best financial shape this building has ever been in, with visible improvements of a modernized elevator, and demolition and installation of tiled stones to our expansive exterior entrance. Looking forward to seeing the interior painting started, and floor cleaning finished, which will make all the difference to re-establish its faded glory, Every building's situation and priorities are different, but they all have the same management needs for dedication, responsibility, accountability, consistency, transparency, prompt honest communication, and decisive action. Management companies are being hired for their expertise, but, let's not forget they work for us, even though they are managing us! VNYPM shows an understanding of this reciprocal relationship, and how properly servicing these demands guarantees mutual success and stability for them, and our residential buildings. VNYPM is receptive to suggestions to what they could do differently or better so they can continue to grow and learn, efficiently problem-solve, and provide the highest client satisfaction. This open readiness to listen, is a significant distinction for me. I applaud VNYPM's willingness to think outside the box, and knowing when to compromise wisely. They offer creative innovative solutions, using only limited available resources, that realize the individualized vision for each building. This makes them uniquely qualified in my estimation, as they are both frugal, and inventive. Hope my positive review provides clarity in your consideration of VNYPM to manage your property.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Venture NY Property Management has been deeply…read morefrustrating. I simply asked for clarification regarding newly imposed co-op insurance requirements and how the coverage thresholds were determined. Rather than receiving transparent answers or supporting documentation, I was repeatedly told the requirements were "non-negotiable," threatened with fines, and ultimately informed that management would "not engage further" because the conversation had become "repetitive." As a shareholder, asking reasonable questions about building policies, insurance requirements, and risk management should not be treated as an inconvenience. At no point was any actual explanation provided regarding whether these limits were based on insurer recommendations, legal counsel, lender requirements, claims history, or any formal analysis. Instead, responses felt dismissive, defensive, and unnecessarily combative. Professional property management should include transparency, accountability, and respectful communication with residents -- especially when imposing financial requirements and penalties. I hope ownership takes shareholder concerns more seriously moving forward and improves how management communicates with residents.

Throughout the years the common charges have increased and I have understood the need for increases. However, as of late and unfortunately within a number of years the grasses have litter and dogs' feces are not picked up by their owners. Today I and other renters at 34 Metropolitan Oval have called for our elevators to be repaired but it hasn't happened. Why? I certainly pay my maintenance fee monthly as an owner of an apartment but unfortunately a service person has NOT come to repair our elevators in our building. Again, Why is that? Please give owners and renters the service needed. I thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter.

The type of tenants here sadly have changed drastically. I have someone above my apartment 4D excessive constant noise There is some kid upstairs who is running constantly for hours. I was advised to call parkchester security which I did. The lady during the lease signing advised me to check to make sure the tenants have rugs or carpeting covering their floors. ( They clearly do not have rugs or carpeting) It sounds like a fat heavy elephant is walking around. When my parents moved into parkchester decades ago it was a requirement for tenants. People blast music without any consideration for their neighbors. My floor thank goodness so far is quiet but the constant noise from above my apartment is crazy. Parkchester will not be able to retain decent tenants with these kind of people living here. Also they charge 3000 dollars to break your lease. I had a housing connect apartment which I turned down for this I should have listened to my daughter and taken the housing connect apartment. I've been here less than a month and I am ready to move. The building I grew up in people I knew cared about parkchester and tried to keep it nice I see that has changed unfortunately its sad to see what used to be a nice place to live is like the projects now. Look elsewhere. If anyone knows who lives in 1605 metropolitan ave apt 4D let me know if prior tenant had problems with these people.
