BCB Property Management

If you want a slumlord to ignore you, your neighbors, and the building you live in, rent from BCB or any of their sneaky LLCs. Hard to tell if it is criminality or just clownish incompetence. I suspect the former as my ceiling collapsed over a year ago and despite the city levying fines for their negligence, still have not repaired it. Rent laws clearly don't protect tenants and BCB is 100% there for it.

BCB Property Management is different than most property management companies because they are far more proactive. When I reached out to discuss opportunities to save fuel and operate buildings more efficiently, Rick immediately gave me the chance to present how we could help. A lot of management companies would not want to be bothered, but Rick gave us a shot and we have since then worked successfully with BCB Property Management. They are a very forward thinking and active management company.

Sometimes they have amazing low cost deals.

BCB management is the worst. They purchased our building about two years ago and immediately changed the locks on the front door. They stood at the door to check tenants names against leases they had on record and only released keys to tenant lease holders names. They sold keys for $60 to roommates and such. After this, there was an immediate rush to get the rent stabilized tenants out. They offered buy outs while they stopped cashing monthly rent checks. No renewal leases came in.. Of course, many tenants combined forces and engaged a lawyer and they backed off. We have gone through a new superintendent a month with no response to complaints. They hire out shade contractors to illegally renovate apartments in the building for those poor tenants who have accepted the buyout or fed up tenants who have left on free will. Meanwhile, there have been several robberies in the building, most likely because they let so many random contractors in and because there is not a door closer on the front door! The entire building is INFESTED with mold, roaches, rats and mice. Rather than waiting on the super to provide a solution, most tenants have had to hire an exterminator with very little success. The entire building needs to be treated. Last night and today, the building did not have running water!! 'please, try to be patient as we update the pipes'... They 'renovated' the lobby with plywood and wood paneling but forgot to install a sprinkler. Violation? They added slippery dangerous porcelain tile to every inch of the lobby and steps. I have witnessed several people falling because there is no slip resistance tape applied anywhere. Also, check out the NYC dob website: nyc.gov/html/dob/html/ho…. Scroll down and type in the address. You can access the violations and complaints and also see NO PERMITS WERE EVER FILED for the renovations they are currently doing. Would put money on it that the contractors that they are using are not even insured. How they conduct business is ILLEGAL. They will use every scare tactic in the book. Don't wait for them to 'serve you', know your rights as a tenant and give them a taste of their own medicine!

This is the WORST property management company. If I could give 0 stars I would. I live in one of their apartments and have had NO HEAT for over a month. It is November 3rd and legally in New York you need to provide heat starting October 1st. Now normally I wouldn't write a review, actually never have, but I have been trying to reach my landlord office/super for weeks. I mean I've lived in New York for years and NEVER had this problem with my landlord. I finally contacted my realtor who found me the apartment and she got someone to call me back. That was three days ago and after assuring me someone would fix the heat yesterday NO ONE came or has been in contact with us. IF YOU SEE THIS COMPANY LISTING APARTMENTS DO NOT USE THEM. The spaces are overpriced, shoddily remodeled, and you will NEVER be able to get someone to call you back. YOU GUYS SUCK AND I'M ALSO POSTING THIS TO SEE IF SOMEONE CALLS ME BACK! My property manager is Kendra Fidelis and I've been speaking to a woman named Michelle also and they have not been helpful at all! FIRE THEM and hire someone who has basic customer service skills. Wish I could say more hateful things because my roommate has already gotten sick and now finally it's happened to me. Also my super alluded to the fact that the previous tenant had complained that the heat wasn't working well when she moved out which means they were aware of the problem and didn't fix it. AND the heat is only the main problem, there are missing window grates, unfinished window installments, cracks all along the walls, and a broken lock on the door. All things that we were told could/would be fixed A MONTH AGO. You might ask why I live here? BECAUSE on the surface the apartment seemed PERFECT and my realtor assured me any problems in the apartment would be fixed asap. SO WTF!
