Management Company Recco for 4 family Townhouse in Ft. Greene?
Hello, I’m the owner of an owner occupied 4 family townhouse in Ft. Greene. Three units are rented and we live in the 4th unit. The building was gut renovated in 2010 so maintenance is minor – the occasional burned out light bulb in the hallway, taking out the garbage, shoveling snow, etc. The tenants are great. For a number of reasons, we’re looking at a move outside of the city. Our plan is to keep the building as a rental and rent all units in the building. Can anyone recommend a management company that could take on a smaller property? And what is the going rate? Thank you,

Try Patrick DeVerteuil 718-309-3934 he looks after a few buildings in Fort Greene, S. Oxford St, Carlton Ave, Fort Greene Pl etc. He is very good with maintenance & repairs and especially turning vacant apartments around quickly; paint clean etc.

I sparred often enough with the original “Benson” on this site and profoundly disagree with his politics, but I’ve met him and, assuming the “return of…” is the same person, think he’s a capable person worthy of consideration.

I pay $400/mo – 3600 sq ft 4 story; 4BR duplex over 5BR duplex. Pretty reliable guy, approx once every two months, tenants contact me bc he did not respond to (non-urgent) text, then I call him, he addresses issue(s). Snow removal is extra, per occurrence.

“warning: return of benson is a major Trump 2016 supporter.” OK, so when the Supreme Court grants voting rights to residential rental properties, this might become a source of concern. “randolph is being . . . again” Dave, I wasn’t aware he’d stopped.

I will put in a good word for “return_of_benson.” I do not know his company’s work, but I know him through this blog (this is going back quite a few years, now) and he strikes me as capable, knowledgeable about buildings, practical, and organized. I would say worth talking to him at least.

Hi, I manage a two family brownstone in Ft. Greene currently and am looking to expand my management business. I prefer a smaller building and can provide references from past management of this property from the past two owners. Feel free to email me : mgmt (at) primebrooklyn (dot) com, and I can go over rates and services I provide.
