Any flame source in the vicinity of the wood beneath your roof is illegal and can be deadly (or at least extremely expensive in the case of a fire). I'd stay away.

If you want to write me at mblevine@ebmg.com I can point you to two Board Presidents who we recently transitioned into their management. They were unhappy or had stale relationships with their prior companies and they wished to change.

The Montauk Club Condo'd off a portion of the club and has a fraction of what it was. The lot next door is actually owned by a third party, and they have not done anything with that lot. I believe that they have tried to in the past, but the Community Board wouldn't allow anything. Out of MC's hands.

I've used Unger Realty Services before and I don't believe that they charge more than $2,500 for expediting the prices. It might be lower for smaller J-51's.

Hello,

It's not enough to ask a community of blog readers for a recommendation. Read up on how to choose a manager.

We have a page devoted to the topic on our website: http://ogimanagement.com

Check references. Some companies won't stand up to this basic test.

Review proposals and look for follow through during the sales process.

If you have questions, we will be glad to help you during this stressful and time consuming process.

Shhhh. The lot is not as ugly as a big building would be. I'm right across the street. As for the fence, I don't know.

The Club was bought maybe 10-12 years ago, as was the lot where the paddleball courts used to be. I remember when the working girls who were at the current Blockbuster spot used to take their dates under the platform. Anyway, this guy Ralph bought the whole thing for a million dollars, built out the apartments, got into a fight with the club folks and moved their kitchen in the middle of the night (they rented from him), never got a c of o and bankrupted the project. The ground floor and the lot were auctioned off. The owners of the lot tried to get an approximately 12 story building approved. It was shot down. That is the story as I know it. I could be wrong.

I guess that would make the fence the responsibility of the lot owner.

Several of the fence posts and the bullet glass windows were removed by Ralph.

after many very bad property management companies - goldin seems to be one of the better ones. Both my condo and co-op use them as their management company. no issues thus far, responsive to repairs requested, billing/invoice system is accurate, and they listen to the needs and requests of the owners and board.

Posted by: couldashouldawoulda at January 30, 2009 7:36 PM in response to Goldin Management

Goldin's great.
They've been our company for the 3 years I've been in my co-op, and on the board for one year.
I haven't dealt with other management companies, but from what I hear they're uncommonly easy to work with.

Our manager is great, although I'm guessing he's a bit of a score if you get him.

Posted by: bbbryan at January 31, 2009 11:49 AM in response to Goldin Management

dont know about goldin, but i do know to NOT use gabriel.

i'm hoping my condo board makes a switch soon - so will be following this one closely.

Have you considered self management? We are a 6-unit condo that has self-managed for over 5 years and it works great. Cheap, too (obviously!).

I presume the fact that you are a coop might make it a little more complicated, but not overly so....

Posted by: curiositykilledthecat at March 11, 2009 10:58 AM in response to changing managing agent

Managing Agents are the worst people in the RE industry. Say what you will about Brokers and Lenders, managing agents are the worst.

Do you due dilegence when searching for a new one. I've had many managing agents charge $50-$100 for a questionnaire to be completed for lending purposes. They don't even fill out the form half the time. They just send you a boiler plate form that they already have. $50 to fax 1 piece of paper. $250 bucks to have recognition agreements stamped, poor turn times etc...

I had a client lose out on a great interest rate because her coop managing agent took 3 weeks to send back a 1 page fax. I had the share holder screaming bloody murder on the phone and they still told her that it was a 3 week turnaround time.
