Sergio and Corinn are friendly, knowledgable, professional and the easiest people I have ever dealt with in this capacity. No matter the issue or question I had, they would respond almost immediately, and work with me, even on a Sunday evening. The apartment I rented was finished the day before I moved in, so there was no issues on the cleanliness or state of the apartment. Sergio and Corinn were in touch with me throughout the move-in and I appreciated that immensely. They also kept in touch throughout the year to check in and keep us updated for the weather conditions and such. They truly put together a clean and welcoming apartment and it was clear to me they truly wanted to make those of us who rented from them welcome. I felt bad about leaving the apartment as I knew I would miss having such a good company to work with. If you want top quality service and professionalism, take a look at Hearthfire Holdings. You can't go wrong here.

A faulty fire alarm system that went off in the middle of the night multiple times in the winter that we had to wait for firefighters to come turn off. Our unit had a leak for the entire year that we had to put in multiple requests for it to be fixed just for it to never be properly fixed & eventually caused black mold and mushrooms to be growing out of our wall. When we sent pictures of the mold/mushrooms in the apartment still nothing was done to fix it. There was no acknowledgment or apology for the living conditions. When it came time to move out, we informed them we were leaving the stick & peel wallpaper up on the molded wall because we did not want to be dealing with something hazardous. When we received our security deposit we saw that we were charged for the wallpaper we left up even after explaining why we left it. We had put it up in a different spot as well that we removed, so we did not leave the other piece up just because we didn't feel like taking it down. WE LEFT IT BECAUSE IT HAD MOLD AND A ROTTING WALL UNDERNEATH IT THAT WAS DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF POWELTON PROPERTIES. When we reached out to understand why we were charged for this we were met with the same response every time. Still no acknowledgment of the mold. Passive aggressive emails. Calling multiple times waiting to speak to the property manager, who was *shockingly* unhelpful. My roommate was yelled at on the phone by Deena and then we got an email saying we threatened them and our communication has ended with them. There were zero threats made. And our apartment is now up online for 1500, when they were trying to charge us 1700 if we renewed.

Bibe generously shared her expertise and guided us through the entire process, patiently explaining each step. In this fast-paced market, her promptness was crucial, as she provided us with the necessary documentation to submit our offers. As a first-time homebuyer, we couldn't have asked for a smoother experience especially in the days leading to settlement. Bibe ensured everything was in order and walked us through each step, significantly reducing our anxiety. We highly recommend Bibe to anyone looking to buy a home. We would definitely reach out to her again for any future purchases.

WARNING: Do NOT waste your time or gas money with this company…read more We drove TWO HOURS to tour a property, only to arrive and find that no one was there. We were not made clearly aware that this was supposed to be a self-guided tour -- and it didn't matter anyway, because the lockbox codes they sent us DID NOT WORK. Every attempt to get help was met with automated responses. When a real person finally stepped in, there was zero urgency. No one offered to come open the door. No one acknowledged that we had traveled hours to be there. We were essentially left on read while standing outside a property we couldn't enter. The response we eventually received amounted to: "Sorry, we're working on it." That's it. Here's what concerns me most: if this is how they handle prospective tenants, imagine how they handle the properties they manage. If I were a homeowner and this company was representing my home, I would consider that a serious breach of fiduciary responsibility. They are not acting in the owner's best interest by making showings inaccessible and unmanageable. This felt like a scam at worst and gross negligence at best. Avoid.

We have been renting from Alvin M. Levin and Sons for more than 2 years now. We have the most…read moredarling trinity Style home, tucked behind a very secure metal gate,which leads to a passageway that brings one to a large secured, and landscaped courtyard, shared with the two houses that are situated on the street in front of our home, on either said of the passageway. Ours is a single family, detached home, which is almost unheard of anywhere near Center City, so zero concerns about neighbor's noises, or security issues. We have 2BR, 2 BA and a den/office area, over 3 stories, and a small private patio off the kitchen. Some of the house has been renovated, but not all (which is reflected in the rent). The utilities/appliances are all serviceable, with new DW and gas stove, and fairly recently installed large, modern W/D in the basement, prior to move in (yes, we have a full basement, which provides lots of storage space). To the best of my knowledge, a lot of Levin's townhomes are older, and have usable fireplaces (often on the 1st and 3rd floors). We use ours throughout the winter, and it is so quaint and charming, ad warm, and Christmasy in December, (the homes I have owned have always had fireplaces, and I love them). We also have a 2nd fireplace on the third floor (a common feature in Levin's townhomes), which is one large area with bedroom, private bath, and sitting area covering the whole top floor, with a lovely slanted, high ceiling, and four large windows (better and bigger than the average NYC studio (often w/less than 500 SQ FT living area) that costs over a thousand , or two (alas, no private kitchen) . Our spoiled daughter lives up there.... Downside is, no bathroom on the first floor, which is pretty much the standard for trinity style homes. As to maintenance.... We have had very few problems,and all have been attended to quickly. We had a leaking DW, which was replaced. We had two problems with the A/C, which I don't think is that old. The response from Levin's maintenance was great. Earlier this summer, it just stopped cooling over the 4th of July weekend. They came out and installed a window A/C, which did not work as well as the central air (due to the design of the house), but allowed me to sleep comfortably until the contractor could come out that Tuesday. The first time we had an A/C problem, they determined that the electrical panel needed to be upgraded. They did a Jury-rig that was designed to work until fall (so we would not have to do w/o Air for a day or two in the extreme summer heat while the installation was done). They followed up and replaced the panel once things got cooler. When I contact the office, the people are very nice, and quite responsive. We have gotten to know some of the maintenance people a bit, since they come out to sweep the courtyard/passageway. We see them on the street, since Levin owns a number of properties in the area, and they are always so pleasant. Twice a year, they send people out to cut back the shrubs in the courtyard/patio areas, and do a general clean-up. We had our rent increased a bit this year, as have a large portion of tenants across the country in the last 1-2 years, but nothing like the 15-60% that many tenants have incurred. Yes, 60% is the amount of rental increase a friend received, who lives in Florida, after a major corporation purchased his complex, with no plans to improve his unit until he moved out. He was forced to move, at great expense. Levin has not pulled that type of BS on its tenants. We wanted to put in body-spray shower heads, and a new kitchen faucet, and were willing to pay for them (once we realized we would probably be here for a minimum of 2 years). Levin was more than willing to pay for the installation of them. Made our enjoyment of the house much better. Yes, they will remain in the house when we move, but if we had needed to pay to have them installed, it would have been cost prohibitive for us. I can highly recommend renting from Alvin M Levin & Son. Our neighbors in front of our house (also properties owned by Levin) have had some maintenance issues, and I only know from seeing workmen coming and going. I assume, since none of them complained, that the issues were taken care of quickly and properly. We feel very fortunate to have found our current home....

They were responsive in addressing any issues (of which there were very few) and maintained the property to a "t." My unit was nicely updated (with similar upgrades in most of the properties they own/manage) in an older building so it was the best of both worlds. I also loved using an online system to submit maintenance requests and pay rent. Just seems antiquated paying rent any other way!

When we were in their office to sign a lease, we realized quickly that we don't want to pay rent to this company. A good portion of what we were told by the nice man who showed us the property turned out to be wrong- poor internal communication. Signing the lease felt very tense and we recieved pissy pushback when asking questions about the lease. We then overheard the owner cursing out his employees and that was just the icing on the cake. We backed out. We will never consider a property managed by this company again.
