It has been nearly impossible to get a hold on anyone at their office. I have had luck reaching Karen, who was incredibly helpful, but unfortunately, she was unable to help me with my specific inquiry. She did,however, ensure that the appropriate person follow-up with me in a semi-timely manner. I wish she was the person I had to deal with, she is the only person I have spoken to at this office with a professional attitude. read more

I've been here since 2017. These people have always been good to me. Most recently there was a fire above me. And my Property manager Jeanie has been so kind and very efficient in helping me get back to normal. For years these folks have been good to me. Even when I had balances. They worked with me and was very patient with me. For that I am truly grateful read more

Metropolitan Properties Services - The work that has been done to my apartment since a fire - Property Management Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I was applying for an apartment and required to go to this office for an interview. After they buzz you in, you're made to sit in a waiting area that is very tight. One of their staff members named Fatima came out to request to sign into our payroll apps and proceeded to grab my phone without my permission to compare the paystubs I had provided to what was in the payroll app. She was extremely rude to me while I tried to assist her to look at the paystubs as she complained that they didnt fit to screen on my phone. I can understand this is standard procedure and they may have experienced fraud before but my roommates and I were treated like we were criminals when we were simply applying for an appointment. We have great income and credit (otherwise why would they have pre-approved our application and asked us for an interview?) and have provided all necessary documents. If they just needed to verify them then there is no need to be so dismissive and nasty to potential tenants. The way they conducted this interview was highly unprofessional. We were not allowed to sit in an office with even a table. Instead we sat next to a black garbage bag so maybe Angelina from Jersey Shore is one of their tenants. A camera was also directed at us and a man was sitting behind the glass window observing us while on the phone at times talking to God knows who. Possibly reporting what he saw in our interview i guess. It all felt like a tactic to make us crack from the pressure. When we expressed how unprofessional and rude Fatima was, she retorted that she could start calling up all our references, employers and banks to confirm the information instead which delay the process for us. You have FIVE apartments available for rent in your building next to a construction that wont be finished until 2027 at the very least which will exacerbate the existing issue with parking in that area. I dare to say you dont hold all the cards. When we were finished, we were only informed then about the full extent of the ongoing construction of a school next to the apartment complex which according to her has caused great grief from tenants. The five vacant apartments makes more sense now! When we asked the broker who showed us the apartment, they responded that they knew nothing about the construction. We were also asked to submit a $500 good faith deposit which is refunded only if youre denied which is illegal in NYS. The real estate/broker company they use has several different company names which all have bad reviews and explain similar slimey tactics. Posting the listing under several different brokers with different prices. One broker says this apartment is available and another broker says it isnt. If youre planning on renting an apartment from these, beware and do not sign or deposit anything without being absolutely sure first. And if you decide to, prepare to be interrogated about your life with every detail scrutinized in the most unprofessional manner next to garbage. If this is how they treat their potential tenants, who knows how they treat their current tenants?! read more

Sorry Jason about the wait. But I appreciate the service you provided me on my ledger and getting me over to the proper departments for further assistance, good phone manners. read more

This company doesn't believe that running hot water is a human right. They refuse to fix the boiler in our building, which is inconsistent and frequently doesn't work without explanation. Whatever temporary fixes occur only last about a week or two. Good luck trying to receive any sort of response from our pathetic excuses for property managers. It's an old building in the Bronx so I'm not naive about the state of these places, but with the slightest bit of care and compassion for their tenants, they could actually make this building a lot safer and more comfortable for everyone. They don't care and they have no interest in improving the quality of living for their tenants. And we all know it. read more

Ever since this management company took over, the building has been going into disrepair. The super they put in place does absolutely nothing and always points to the management company, while the management company representative - Mark is just as useless. Broken toilets take weeks to repair, broken light fixtures take years. Building side walk is always dirty and nobody cares. read more

Metropolitan Property Services is the worst property management company I have ever encountered. I'm not recommending anyone to live in the residential buildings that this company manages. They don't manage the property at all. Specifically, 41Park Ter W & 31 Park Ter W, NY, NY 10034 (Inwood). If you want to live in this apartment building, you will encounter tons of bedbugs and rats in the building. The building manager is a thief. We cleaned the apartment very well when moved out. However, they didn't return a penny of our security deposit. We contacted them numerous times to request a refund for the security deposit but we were ignored. read more

Thieves. Attempting to steal my security deposit (now I have to go to Small Claims Court) after agreeing to let me end my lease early without penalty. TOTAL SCAM. read more

Writing, cause what everyone says are true, ignoring emails, inconsistent and incoherent team, only call text you when THEY need something such as rent, Ive been trying to get floor damage repaired for almost a month and no response, the team is unprofessional and horrible, the damage is so bad for my flooring I cant even get into the apartment I PAY FOR, this company sucks. read more

Terrible management company. They do not answer questions promptly or at all. We haven't had a working laundry room in almost 2 years. Broken front which allows thieves to frequently steal packages. Our doors are being operated with aluminum foil. Being in property management myself I'm disgusted by their work ethic and their complete negligence of the needs of their tenants. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! Avoid renting here, and if you do good luck getting out. I've been a renter and a landlord myself and I have never seen such a level of unprofessionalism, disgrace and disrespect in a property group such as this one. MAINLY Jeanne Michalski, absolutely unprofessional, unethical and corrupt. Jeanne will ignore all requests for repairs for years until HPD gets involved and then fabricates a lie and blames it on the tenants for "non-access" when she never cooperated with the work requests to begin with. She is the reason Metropolitan Property has such a high number in violations!! Because she sits at her desk, feeding her face, posting on Facebook, ignoring phone calls and emails from tenants requesting repairs. If the repairs were made as part of her job, HPD would never have to visit. In my opinion, she is a huge liability to her own property group. read more

You guys !! Rainel is A-MAZING !! She is so diligent and responsive. There hasnt been a time that I've reached out that I didnt receive assistance and if she didnt have the answer she connected me to someone who did. I really appreciate the individualized attention she gives to tenants. & this is NOT a paid comment this is a REAL REVIEW !!! read more

I have lived in one of the buildings for 5 years and it has been such a horrible experience. The management is so rude and not caring or knowledgeable at all! The hallways are dirty, people can leave their garbage outside the shut, the laundry area smells like dead rats and garbage all the time. They turn of the water often for a few hours without giving aby notice. During the winter they often turn off the hot water, again without any notice. The intercon does not work for as long as we been working herencia when we rented we were told " That will be fixed soon" and up to this day no one cared to fix it. The elevator is often dirty and does not work properly. In 2019 the elevator broke down for 2 months during the summer and they did not even have the courtesy of speaking to us about the issue, of you went to the office they ignored you, our would tell you that "It's getting fixed" but not information on the expected date. And what is worse is that during that time the hallways had so much garbage, flies and roaches, but they had the audacity to charge the full rent. In 2020 for 4 months I had issues with people opening the emergency door for the roof and activating the alarm, that would go off for about 3 minutes, giving us headaches and making my dogs uneasy. People was crossing from the 14165 building to the one next to it, since there are no cameras the situation got so bad that we had a guy all high in drugs sleeping in the stairs towards the roof who would be there to the dark hiding, smoking and armed with a knife, the police eventually got him but the management did nothing, the police came because me and my neighbors called several times. In 2021 I had 2 packages missing and the office told me that even though they cameras that they couldn't really do anything. And then today I noticed that 4 packages arrived for me yesterday, I was feeling sick and did not check my emails, however my husband went at 9:00 pm to check the mail and by them he found a package for him open, and my 4 packages disappeared. My husband went to the office today and he was told the same BS from before, that they are not responsible. But I wonder, can just anyone come in an out of the buildings and take whatever they want? Isn't our safety a concern for them? I really can't understand how can they be so irresponsible and cold, there is no humanity at all. I hope you get to see this before even considering moving in here, they are super nice to welcome you, but once you are here they treat you as if you live here for free, but they actually are very expensive and quick to request their payment. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I GIVE A BECAUSE IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN POST THIS REVIEW. read more

Thnk you so much to Mr.Vasquez who helps communicate with mom and helps translate things so she can understand better . Love that their is a Latino that can help in the office and leaving this review on Moms behalf as she is even more thankful . Thank you Mr. vasquez ! read more

I appreciate how my coordinator Rainel is always so helpful and follows up in a timely manner. I've dealt with her on a few occasions and each time she has been eager to help. very much appreciated. read more

The building coordinator, Samm Amador/Acevedo (she has many last names, go figure) is not a smart woman at all. Incompetent, dense-brained and childish. I made sure to let her know, too. Doesn't have any education or authority to help with a viable solution regarding the actual apartment but she'll spend all day emailing you about the misspelling of her goofy name. See this moronic email exchange for yourself. It's laughable. I gave up trying to educate her but thankfully, Daniel Macias is decent so I told him I will deal with him solely and he respected that. Problem solved. If they could get a more intelligent and competent team, they might have less negative reviews. read more

Eddy helped me with the lease. He also explained the portal. I'm disabled & technology can be difficult for me. He was very patient.

I spoke to Mr. Vasquez the other day and he assisted me with my online portal and told me my building manager number. I highly recommend Mr. Vasquez for any assistance needed as his level of expertise and customer service skills are without parallel. Thank you Edward! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICES I had been living in one of their property . it's only been 6 months and I am tired of their shitty management and services. the elevator would not work for several days during summer months. laundry room often is flooded and the vending machine for laundry card had been broken for months. no one fucking cares. the property manager is always on vacation. roach infestation and dirty around the floors and elevator. extremely incompetent of the services. NO ONE FUCKING PICKS UP THE Calls. no help no support. you pay rent and live as if it's a homeless shelter. read more

Shockingly-awful company to deal with. I am in the real-estate business, and recently worked a sale in one of the buildings that this company manages. In all my years of handling these kinds of transactions I have never experienced incompetence at this level. Non-responsiveness from the company nearly cost my client the sale, and at closing the buyer's attorney's first comments to the buyer were, "Move in, get on the board, and change the management company as soon as you can." read more

Clearview Hillside ave Apartments, located in Queens Village, Ny.. The Super that works for this company and apartment complex barely does anything to maintain the property. He picks and chooses who he will respond to in a timely manner. He pushes repairs onto other people that he hires, so he could kick back and relax and do nothing all day. But even with him putting the work off on to other people, you still could barely get any repairs done in a timely manner. These buildings are old and they will not renovate any apartments unless there's a new tenant that will be moving in.. And of course they do this so that they can charge the new tenants way more money for rent. Theres roaches, mice and water bugs infesting the property. We hear squirrels or possibly raccoons claws scratching against the ceiling inside our attics as they walk around at night. Somehow they eat through the roof and make there way into the attics. Ive spoken to other neighbors in the building who also told me that they hear the same things (what a coincidence). Im convinced that the managers are prejudice, due to them mostly renting apartments to people of indian decent. The super cuts off the water that we we're using to water the gardens on the side of the building because of tenants making complaints against him, but he lies and says its because of the water bill.. Smh.. Like they have a water meter specifically, to one particular water outlet on the side of the building to tell them that it was increasing the water bill. Really? So its not from tenants using the water excessively in their own apartments. We know what's going on here. This area has sooo much potential. The area is nice. Its a great place for kids to run and play outside. If only they would get on there job and fix the building! The Hot water always comes and goes. It could never be consistent. If you decide to test your water before taking a shower, to make sure its the correct temperature as your about to get in.. You better jump in there really fast or else your body will freeze from the cold water that will catch you off guard. And like everyone else says.. It is almost impossible to get through to the management office if you need them. At the end of the day, Metropolitan Property is responsible for all of the things going on in each property. They hire the staff and do not follow up consistently to problems that are reported to them by the tenants. read more

sum up all the bad reviews below and add these. management do not exist they dnt answer calls. management is never available when u go there. they lose ur money OFTEN. the halls are dirty with cobwebs, roaches, horrible smells, and garbage. the light the get in my bldg constantly goes out. and u cnt see shit when that happens. the front door was fucked up for almost 2 yrs. packages constantly stolen because they have the camera in a dumb place. They block the little parking we do have available with garage twice a week. JUST HORRIBLE PLACE. If I can give a negative I would read more

Thanks Jason W for your patience, you took your time to help me get to the right department, you listened the problem I was having and made sure maintenance was called, Thanks I appreciate it read more

This management company is garbage. Metropolitan Property Services refused to return my deposit despite the apartment being vacated and in good condition at the end of my lease. They would not return phone calls or emails inquiring about a walkthrough or handing over the keys. After 60 days, during which I contacted them repeatedly without any reply, MetroProp informed me that they would be keeping the deposit because they never got the keys back and told me it wasn't their problem that the building manager would not respond to my requests to hand over the keys. read more

Property and basement infested with rats. Whenever I leave the apartment building I see a rat, this morning one was in the walkway and didn't move. But last week I saw one in the laundry room. Planning to move once my lease ends. Clearly a bigger issue going on around here. This is 85th road. Horrible read more

Truly the WORST business I have ever encountered. The communication is awful and the billing is questionable bordering on crooked. Run, run, run from ever having to use them if you can. read more

If you like cockroaches and filthy floors in the hallways and lobby, you'll love living at 61-61 Woodhaven Blvd. They "clean" the floors by waxing over the filthiness. I have repeatedly informed the management of the dirtiness of the building, and they just don't care. read more

I'm a resident at 1 of their property buildings And I've always contact with Jeanette and she's always been a really big help. Any important paperwork she always get things done, always kind and sweet one of the best employees. read more

If you have an issue you can never be able to contact anyone from this office. Stay away. Worst property service.

Literally impossible to get a hold of anyone in this place, no one responds to your email or calls. 6161 Woodhaven building is full of roaches, it's old and people smoke in the elevator. The doors don't lock well so anyone can walk into the building. There are no camera anywhere so if anyone breaks in it's on you. Horrible experience. read more

I don't know what anyone else expects from a property manager or property management company but my Uncle Jack has had a perfectly fine experience with them. They are very humane and human and have made a decidedly difficult transitional time in his life (heart failure and divorce) and given him safe harbor. We'll forever be grateful. read more

No hot water today or heat today. What happened to NO stars? Zero rating is a lot here...proceed with caution. BTW, they raise the rent ever single year. No support from the managers or superintendent either. Rent at your own risk. read more

Maintenance Workers are all wonderful, The rest of the staff is ok. Rent increases, but the quality of the buildings and apartments don't. Huge rats run around in broad daylight, security cameras don't work, stolen packages because of that, and extermination is inconsistent. But if you have a maintenance issue, it will be quickly fixed. Oh, and they've been really stingy with sending heat this winter! read more

If I can give them 0 stars I would. I do not come on YELP to bash establishments but Metropolitan Property services is terrible. I have been living at my apartment for almost 2 years and in my experience they do not answer the phone after 10am and send you straight to voicemail. If you have any repairs you need taken care of you must work with maintenance availability not the other way around, my "building manager" in particular 'Neal Altman' never shows up or answers emails/phone calls. He has no idea what goes on in the building at all. (So much for building manager) Tenant services are an absolute joke. It's a free-for-all, if you expect help with repairs, other tenants, loud noises or any other general issues. You're on your own when it comes to MPS. That's a guarantee. Do yourself a favor and stay away. read more

Always have a pleasant experience when I call regarding issues with my apartment. Everything gets fixed with little to no problem. If there is an emergency (I never had one but my neighbor did since the apartment on top left their water running) they come ASAP which always helps the situation from getting worse (like the water coming to my apartment lol). Their customer service is definitely as well. read more

Metropolitan Properties Services/Bayswater Terrance Corp. STAY AWAY FAR AWAY. My apartments is nice but its a scam!! The place is infected with roaches, rats, bugs, mold, etc. I'm VERY clean this place is just infested!! Thea Divedio is the New building management reap that will not answer my phone calls after she has promised me repairs will be done in my unit by licenses contractor that never happened so many lies. I forward all the bs to her and there lawyer noting to this date so , now they are holding my rent checks to say, I'm not paying my rent so they can try to take me to court to kick me out. I'm a problem for them I will not stand for this I don't receive any type of help. I'm the help. I must say FIRE Thea ASAP she knows nothing about her job or care about her tenants that's why they go through so many new managers when they see it's a game and they can't take on the tenants they quit. Metropolitan Properties Services is always trying to make extra money refuse to address the MOLD and No HEAT issues in my apartment. Also, the smell of dog urine & feces is overwhelming! You have to watch your every step, as most of the tenants have one or more dogs but do not care to curb them. Just don't rent here. P.S. they should receive (0) stars this company is NO GOOD SCAM Artists read more

This message is for Neal Altman. I moved out 4/30/2017 leaving the apartment SPOTLESS. You know who I am because we have had numerous conversations. It is now 8/23 and I still have not received my security deposit. I was in contact with Neal as of 7/24/17. When we talked that day, he mentioned that it was sent out that day. WHAT A LIE. Then I spoke with him a week later. He said that a check was already sent out about a month ago. Then obviously he lied about my check "BEING IN THE MAIL." It has been a month since I spoke to Neal. He obviously can't get a simple task done. Fire him. Someone else from your office.. I can't even make out his name from his message and he gave me an incoherent number to call back... saying that the check needs approval from the owners for the check to be cut. WHY DOES MY CHECK NEED APPROVAL FROM THE OWNER WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND CUT 4 MONTHS AGO!? YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE JUST ISSUING A REPLACEMENT CHECK. SINCE YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR JOB...LET ME HELP YOU. STEP 1: PLACE A STOP PAYMENT ON THE PREVIOUS CHECK (IF IT WAS EVEN SENT OUT) STEP 2: REISSUE THE CHECK. IF YOU ARE NEEDING AN OWNERS APPROVAL, YOU OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SEND THE CHECK IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!! Metropolitan Property Services is A JOKE! A JOKE. I work for Related Management and I know how these things work. If you want to progress as a company, FIRE Neal Altman. If I do not receive a check for my FULL DEPOSIT plus interest by 8/30, I will get my lawyers involved. read more

They'll cash your check, refuse to give rent receipts, not return your calls for service and still attempt to evict you even when paid on time. read more

I am a property owner and have had a great experience with the team at Metropolitan. They were very professional, friendly, and had a good roster of service providers to maintain the building. I see a number of negative reviews here, but some may be blaming MPS for things that may the fault of the property owner. I also have resided in a building managed by MPS and found them very responsive and professional. As an owner and a resident, I have worked with several property management companies and Metropolitan is the best; I would recommend them to any building. read more

Stay far away from these buildings!!!!!!!!!! Upon moving in it seems good at first but it is everything but that apartments and building are infested with roaches, mice, centipedes and bed bugs. Also in once instance the management of the building refused to give me a key for the laundry room when i requested one, they told me it would be $20 because it would be a replacement key. I never even received a key when i moved in, they refuse to hear me out or even meet with me. all they do is dodge calls and claim they are in meetings when you show up. Parking is also terrible in the neighborhood it will take on most nights 30mins to find a spot and I have been waiting on a list to get a parking space for 11 months but have yet to receive it. and for next years lease they are attempting to raise the rent $100 to $1650 for a 1br, which is ridiculous for what you have to deal with here. If you move here you will regret it within the first 3 months. read more
