It's been a fantastic experience both as a resident as well as from someone having served on the co-op board as a Director and for the past five years, Board Chair.

Alex is kind, understanding, and consistently communicative. He often replies to emails within minutes! Sokol, the super, has also been wonderful to work with. He's incredibly responsive, helpful, and always quick to address anything that comes up in the building. It's rare to find a team so reliable and easy to work with in property management, and it's made my experience living here seamless and stress-free. I'm very grateful to have had such a positive experience and would highly recommend Alex and the team to anyone.

I've worked with a lot of property managers over the years, and I can say this team stands out!!…read moreThey're responsive, kind, and genuinely care about the people who live here. Every time I've had a question or request, it's been handled quickly and professionally -- no runaround, no attitude, just solid service. The property is always well maintained, clean, and feels safe. You can tell they take pride in their work and treat the place like they'd want to live here themselves. Special shoutout to the staff -- always friendly and helpful, whether it's a quick fix or just a smile in the hallway. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well-managed property and a team that actually shows up for their residents!!

We were told that he would get back to us in a few days, and its been a few weeks going on a month and we still haven't heard from him. And this site telling me that the response time is around 20 mins is absurd. Youre 20 mins late 3.5 weeks ago. Website - epitome of laziness and lack of professionalism.

Having lived in 5 different apartments under a variety of different property managers before Mr. Jones, I can say his communication and transparency is a rarity and refreshing change in New York. The quick responsiveness to address any questions and concerns I've had has been greatly appreciated. The unit we've moved into is a true gem in Clinton Hill, with some of the best value for my rent I've come across in all my apartment hunting. If you're looking for a trustworthy landlord, while feeling confident in the apartment you'd like to move into, look no further - you've found it.

I wish them the best of luck!

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.
