Diamond Realty Management, "DRM", routinely engages in unprofessional behavior, including failure…read moreto follow through with association member concerns, poor communication, refusal to disclose financial arrangements with third party vendors. The co-owner tasked with "managing" our property is arrogant and dismissive. He continuously finds excuses as to why DRM is not responsible for work requests, placing the undue burden on the association member. As they are paid a flat yearly rate, their business model is designed to tell association members "no". The more "no's", the less work and the same flat rate. Unfortunately, DRM has a monopoly in the Albany area, which minimizes the likelihood of recourse.

Perhaps the worst property "management" company to exist. They DO NOT CARE AT ALL about the…read moreproperties they manage. They just collect your HOA fee and provide sub par services. They don't live up to what is billed as "care-free living". -First off, they are unresponsive. Phone calls and e-mails go unanswered. -I'm pretty sure they are never visiting our development as some aren't compliant with bylaws. -The lawn "care" provider that they choose to engage with have ruined most of the lawns in the neighborhood and the common area lawns are pretty much dirt. -Often find loads of trash throughout the neighborhood. This isn't from it's residents....it's from the on-going construction. AVOID any property that they "manage" at all costs. They take your money and hide.

The monthly HOA fee is supposed to cover all lawn care. The lots that didn't get sod initially are all brown with weeds. They don't pick weeds or trim shrubs. Snow removal is nice but the plows ruin your driveway. The development is not "luxury" as advertised. We look forward to a management change.

I'D GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD!!!! They will show the apartment…read morewhile you are still occupying it, just an uncomfortable thing. I was told they were having a showing. Which is generally 1 or 2 people, they gave us a $100 gift card so we could leave the house so they can show it, but this was not a showing I had more that 20 people in my apt all at once for an open house! Guess who had to clean up after 20+ people that had been walking in and out my house, yup me. My rugs had mud on them and floors where filthy. Maintenance is mostly prompt but cheap (Called about heat not working at 11am didn't get it fixed till 9pm next day...yes we were freezing and yes 2 days no heat) they gave us space heaters, cause I complained and they couldn't be used cause it blew the circuit every time it was plugged in. TAKE PHOTOS of your apt.!!!! Tried to get money out of my deposit saying I left crumbs on stove and cabinets. But also they mentioned how clean my apartment was and that they like showing it before I completely left. I had photo proof showing otherwise. I also had to clean the cabinets myself when I first moved they were dirty. Asked to look at there photos, I don't think there was any. Too much interaction with landlord than I should have. Some of the maintenance work could've been avoided again being cheap. Privacy isn't something you'll really have, I haven't gone by 2 months without having maintenance or the landlord walk into my apartment. Yup I hate it here! Ps. I pay my rent on time, very clean tenant. 2nd apartment with them. 1st apt was in and older house completely outdated, problem started when I got the 2nd. I guess the better the apartment the bigger the nuisance. Good Luck.

If you do HAVE to work with him, make sure you get everything documented on paper. I've been fighting to get my money back (which he agreed to and I have written proof) for over a month after he falsely advertised an apartment. After 4 months of trying to get my money back, I sued Bill Hamel and won in Small Claims Court. He then refused to pay me what the Court ordered! He said the check was in the mail and was trying to wait me out until I moved away (which he knew about since I had signed a lease with him). Fortunately, I contacted the Better Business Bureau and the Albany Police and started escalating the fight until he finally handed me a check and told me to screw off. He was menacing and I would sincerely be worried about living in one of his units. This man has no ethics at all. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!

Attention consumers, I'm sharing my experience with 518 Management Group to help potential clients…read moremake informed decisions. TRUST the reviews on BBB. Here are some key concerns as a summary: Fees for Unrendered Services: I was charged for services (e.g., leak investigation, snow removal and space heater) that weren't performed/provided. Unclear Charges: The security deposit contained unexplained fees, and requests for clarification were met with dismissive responses. Transparency Issues: Proof of services rendered (showings) wasn't provided when requested, despite them reporting them. Communication Concerns: Request to visit the office address were unsuccessful, and the company suggested an off-site meeting at a coffee shop. We read the reviews, but wanted to give them a change after speaking and gave the benefit of the doubt and unfortunately fell into the same trap. The property management company creates charges for services not provided and continually adds fees. They insist on depositing money into an app called App Folio, from which we cannot retrieve our funds. For instance, they charged us for a leak investigation that was never requested or done on 3/15. The property has been vacant since 1/30 and was recently repaired with their knowledge. When we questioned the charges, Rebecca dismissed the tenant's concerns as 'delusional" and refused to clarify the charges listed in the security deposit letter. Additionally, their response to our request to visit their office in Albany was to meet at a coffee place. Thee was no one at their office address. It seems non existent. Despite Antonio's claim that charges are only for maintenance work, unexplained fees keep appearing. Andrew, the maintenance person, missed issues that I had to hire someone else to fix. The contract states a $25 monthly management fee while property is vacant yet they claim they're working for free. They have made no efforts to rent the property and in a weekly report stated "showing were happening" yet never provided proof of showing when asked. Rebecca's poor interpersonal skills are evident in every communication. This company lures consumers with low fees but then invents random charges without explanation. When you demand an explanation for the charges or proof of what they did, they use their 'right to terminate the contract" and keep your money. Do not trust or give these people the time of day. They should be reported to the NYS Division of Consumer Protection (DCP).

Adding clarification to Meredith G., General Manager, of Paragon Residential Management, LLC,…read moreresponse, to my initial post regarding my assessment of their performance and professionalism, let me say this: She conveniently glossed over the Fact that it took Action by Albany Code Enforcement, to force Paragon Residential Management, to Finally hire a contractor/roofer to tear open the flat roof, and actually replace the defective roof drain and horizontal drain pipe, over the living room ceiling. Prior to Code Enforcement's intervention, there were Five, bubblegum repairs made to fix the issue (inexpensively, I assume), with success, until the next rain/snow event. And even After hiring a contractor/roofer, to tear open the roof, replace the roof drain and pipe, it continued to leak, requiring the company to reopen the living room ceiling, again! And Meredith, no one in your office responded to One email I sent, inquiring about the status of repairs. And how is it, you justify renting units in a building that has not had a legal Certificate Of Occupancy with the City of Albany, for three years? Don't try to project that your company is in Mother Theresa's, 23 & Me, DNA lineage.

First: I have asked MULTIPLE times that when requesting maintenance not let themselves in as I have previously had one of them leave my door wide open and let my cat out. They CONTINUE to do it. Second: I get eight minutes of hot water in my shower. I have timed it. I have already tried turning the temp up on my water heater. I messaged my apartments contact for this company and requested a new hot water heater. She said maintenance would turn up the temp. I told her I had already tried this and I didn't want that. Maintenance let himself in when I wasn't home and turned up the temp anyway to the MAX setting. I burned myself washing dishes. I have again reached out to her and they will not replace the water heater. Third: they started replacing the flooring in the halls almost three weeks ago and have left the carpet ripped up and have not been back.

The apartment is very very dark and the humidity was very high. They did provide a dehumidifier but expected us to run it and pay the electric. Our heating/energy bill was never as high as it was living here. The apartments must have built on swamp lands. The engineer/designer should issue a full refund for these poorly designed apartments. I would never rent from Rosetti again. We lived there for 1 year and they didn't tell us before we moved in that the property would not be finished for another year +. Then, when they issued our renewal, they wanted to increase the rent! LOL

They have 10 year old rugs which when you compare different areas/rooms the carpets are two different colors (from how long they've been left uncleaned) and are making us sick. The house and the rooms inside it including the kitchen and bathroom are 20 years old in itself and on the verge of falling apart. They told us there would not be pest issues especially in the basement but we have mice, bugs, and all sorts of pests especially in the basement. Yet, when you ask maintenance to fix anything including the pest issue they always go to charge you right of the bat. We stayed one year and paid $30,000 dollars total. Now they are asking for $2750 per month. I want to give them zero stars but this review site only allows me to only give one at the very least. It's the worst place to live and I'd only recommend it to anyone who wants to be miserable as long as they stay here.
