Intercom Repair

Hello!

I am looking for contractors who do intercom repairs. The folks the management (Esquire) company insists on using say that the whole system needs to be replaced, but only a few buzzers on the outside of the building do not work (contacts?), the buzzers in the vestibule work fine. The coop is two buildings with 16 apartments in each, it is not a large intercom system. Any suggestion would be great!

Coop Management Company needed!

Help!

We need a management company for our 31 unit coop building. The current company is useless beyond belief. There is a 'partime super" in the building but I am not quite sure what he does. I know his wife takes out the trash.

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Thank you for your suggestions! I will forward them to the coop board. By the way! We have the lovely Esquire group now.

Very similar type of 'muggings' were happening a few months ago in Prospect Heights. The 'muggers' concentrated mostly on young men listening to Ipods or talking on cellphones.

I wonder if it is the same group of bored youths?

HOW can ANYONE like Esquire Management be in business? They give UNPROFESSIONAL a whole new meaning. Newport Management is also a very double dealing and underhanded outfit. How are these companies allowed to operate??? I guess money talks and ethics walk!

OH I forgot and hope it is not too late. If you do get rid of Esquire, please, please please get all your financial records, bank statements, copies of utility bills, and especially your W2 info for all past tax seasons... our co op got rid of Esquire and NEVER got any records back from them!!! NONE. We had to contact the IRS to get W2 info out. ALSO... ESQUIRE Co mingles their various property accounts funds... need proof? Ask them for online access to your reserve account... which you should be able to get... you won't get it because they have all their accounts under their name... at HSBC when we were wtih them
They should be put out of business!!
