Recently our Board faced a significant project to replace old gas lines that were no longer compliant with updated city rules. We decided to engage New Bedford's Owner's Representative service to work with our Board of Directors on the extensive project. Andras and Albert from the New Bedford Owner's Rep team took great care of the building and helped provide project management and access management services. With their help we completed the project under budget and restored gas service to the building. Based on our positive experience, we have also engaged the Owner's Rep team to assist with a large parking garage project that the building must complete to stay in compliance with Local Law 126. For coop boards who are already run by volunteers, the Owner's Rep team is a must to bridge the gap between coop board oversight and day to day project management of large capital projects. read more

You're impossible to reach. No-one ever answers the phone and you don't return calls. You're in the wrong business! read more

they are the most unethical company you'll find. They will ask for payments on the side, they won't respond, they literally could not care less read more

Really bad service. Constant staff turnover, and the few that have been there for a while are rarely responsive to emails or voicemails, and just deflect and defer problems. And they charge us so much!!!! read more

The purpose of this review is to inform potential clients of New Bedford of all the shortcomings and hopefully sway you to the myriad of other choices that exist. New Bedford will talk a good game and make promises which make sense to a buildings board of electors. However the follow through is the complete inverse of the intended fruitful experience. Their managers will be mostly unattentive and unresponsive... and in the seldom times they do respond they will be ineffectual and you will find that the board will have to "manage" their managers if you want anything done. After 2 years of trying to work with the company, our high hopes were quickly whittled down and we gave more than enough chances to remedy in the situation. In the end our board decided to go a different way, but the response from the president of the company was completely unprofessional in his attacks on specific members of the board. All in all, this was a very bad experience and our building is the worse for working with this company. I would strongly suggest you look at other alternatives so you don't have to deal with the things we did... But don't just take my word for it, read through all the other 1-star-reviews as I should have done before traveling down this nuisance of a road. read more

I am on the Board of a condo that New Bedford manages. 4* represents a huge improvement over my sentiments in the past. We have had far too much turnover of property managers, 4 in the past few years. But I am very happy with how we are being managed now, and if this improvememt holds up, I will be OK with raising this rating in the future. read more

Recently our Board faced a significant Local Law 11 facade project. We decided to engage New Bedford's Owner's Representative service to work with our Board of Directors on the extensive project. In short order, we found their experience with facade, roof and parapet issues, their technical and building code knowledge as well as the level of advocacy that they provided, made what could have been a very difficult and confusing marathon, far easier and understandable for us and ultimately saved our building nearly a million $$$. As a Board member and owner, I recommend them highly and enthusiastically. read more

New Bedford Management and their team are very knowledgeable and professional. Our property manager Lorenzo is very responsive. We are lucky to have him and NBM representing us. read more

Our new property manager, Lorenzo Fernandez of NBM, has provided timely and careful service to our building. I'm confident he will continue to serve as an excellent steward to our building moving forward. read more

Since New Bedford Mgt and Rosanne Randazzo ,our building manager have taken over our building. It's been smooth sailing. They are highly attentive to all my needs regarding my apartment and our building. I personally get along great with Rosanne. She's a dynamo! We are very appreciative of all the hard work she puts in to keep our building(s) running smooth as silk. Thanks Rosanne!!! read more

I have worked with Lorenzo for 10+ years. Lorenzo is always been on top of his stuff. Lorenzo always puts the concerns of his tenants first. Lorenzo always pushes myself as a vendor to make sure his tenants concerns are taken care of. On top of this I have found Lorenzo to be honest and fair to work with. read more

I recently finished a year-long term on our board, and our property manager, Shane Siminitus, was especially skilled at onboarding and advising new board members, responding to owner requests in a timely manner, and helping through a difficult year in which we had to firm up the building's finances and correct some mechanical and security issues. He also handled owner meetings extremely well, kept an even tone that prevented minor disagreements from escalating into major disputes, and managed the successful election of a new board. Thank you! read more

As an exterminator in business for over 30 years i have never been more impressed with a property manager. Eva, staying on top of everything needed to make services easier. Nothing but the best open lines of communication at all times. read more

Eva Rosenfeld had been working with us since Jan 2020. She clearly provides us with the address of the building, contact person information , video and photos of the repair needed, and when access can be granted to the site. This makes our job easy to address and prepare the supplies and tools needed for the repair. Our pricing reflects all, provided so that there is a one-time visit She clearly is an asset to us and any vendor she deals with. She is responsive to all our calls and emails. read more

Worst management company i've ever had the displeasure of managing a co-op. The experience is they are unresponsive to emails for repairs. When they do respond i am given lots of false information causing me to waste many days waiting for repairs to get done. My building had a burst pipe and it took management almost a year to begin doing repairs to apts with water damage. So far its six months requesting window repairs that were caused by facade work. Nothing has been done about it. My Intercom not functioning for a month. Still no repair after reporting it multiple times. All shareholder repairs matter. But it seems management will pick and choose whats worth addressing. Very poor communication skills. read more

I've been a real estate agent in NYC going on 9 years. "I don't know anyone who is happy with their management company" is a common refrain for us. Behind the scenes we compare notes and horror stories about all the bad actors in this industry. Happy to say that my experiences with New Bedford management have been completely the opposite. They answer the phones right away they respond to emails quickly and politely. They are actually friendly and helpful! I've never before experienced anything like it. This should be standard and expected but it is extraordinary. Makes the lives of their residents and professionals like me so much easier. Special shout out to Sarah Greenbaum who I've been interacting with and exemplifies these qualities. read more

New Bedford has been a great company for us, and Shane Siminitus, our property manager, is the best. We recently had a building emergency, and he jumped immediately into action and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and taken care of. read more

6 leaks in one year , one of the leaks been on and off for 3 years - mold built up on the ceiling - windows do not work or loose and causes injuries as they drop quick. management is none responsive , all we get is violations ( I call them donations) as they bully their way by adding them to maintenance fee. they abuse their role versus fixing the building to increase the capital gain , they degrade the building by adding none sense rules to harass the share holders and make money off them. people are sick tired. do not give them assets to manage for you. you will loose! read more

Worst managment comany in the last 30 years of our Coop. They speak a big game but are completely disorganized. Their accounting group is a mess. They pay vendors late, and always have an exsuse. Their property managers vary and their reputation with other managing agents is poor. Do your work before hiring them. read more

We have had 6 managers in the last five years with New Bedford. Some have left the company--one was fired for being too helpful. Overall, I would say that they shoehorn our building into their processes rather than trying to adapt to the needs of the building. They constantly look for opportunities to "Upcharge" the building with fees and procedures that are not needed. I would advise you to look elsewhere for building management. read more

We hired NBM to take over our condo's management about a year and a half ago and it is night and day compared to our previous company. Roseann is quick to respond to all the owners' needs and as the board president, she has been great to work with. Everyone at NBM has been very helpful. read more

Grateful to John Duff for bringing new management energy to our Williamsburg building and being open to do regular site visits to meet with vendors. He's always got a smile and a willingness to help, even with the up and down problems of an aging building. Thanks John -- we are so lucky to work with you!! read more

I wish I could give more than five [5] stars for this review. I enjoy living in Ryerson Towers. The management, maintenance and custodial team are great. Antonia Davy is on top of every request and concerns that I have. I appreciate her follow up. She has made many positive and productive changes. If it can be done, it's done and if not, she explains why and finds another solution. I applaud her for always being on top of things!!! The custodial team is great and keep the building and grounds very clean but I have to single out Earl. Earl makes sure that our floor is clean (and quite shiny). The compactor room is never dirty or messy. Actually, there aren't any bad odors coming from that room. I appreciate all that he does!!! read more

ZERO STARS should be an option. This place should NOT EVEN BE IN BUSINESS. They NEVER visit our building, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get them on the phone, and when you do manage do get someone on they phone they are curt and dismissive. They drag their feet on repairs and then try to force the owner to pay for a repair that is the cooperatives responsibility. There is no communication of any kind. Worst management company ever. STAY AWAY, for the money we pay to them they should be falling over each other to make sure our property is golden. read more

We've had New Bedford Management for my condo building for a few years now. It has been a huge relief having Maria and NBM as our manager - I was even able to retire from the condo board. My whole pitch to the building was that I'd make sure the residents were informed about our ongoing construction work, and Maria filled that role and then some. The work is nearly done and we're excited to see how NBM can help our building return to its un-scaffolded glory. read more

Our building manager Eva Rosenfeld is really wonderful - attentive and thorough, really cares about the building.

We are very grateful for the professionalism with which this company has treated us in the last four years. At every step of the way, we were guided with care. In the four years that we have lived in our new apartment, the building has been maintained with the highest possible standards. We are very grateful indeed. read more

I am this review to give a 5 star review for one of NBM staff members, Antonia Davy. She has been the building's manager for several years and my interactions with her has only been stellar. I have found her to be a smart, talented, forward thinking and insightful young woman. It has been my experience that Ms. Davy has and continues to go above and beyond to ensure that matters and concerns within the management of the building is complete and resolved in a timely manner. It is for these reasons and many more, that it is a pleasure to write this review . read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Roseann R. and she is truly great at what she does. We work with many property managers, but Roseann is definitely one of the best. She has great experience in managing properties and truly cares about the residents and their needs. She goes above and beyond and is responsive. I highly recommend working with Roseann at New Bedford. read more

Let's see if THIS negative review stays up, or if New Bedford will flag it as it appears their interests are fixated on keeping positive reviews up regarding their business & burying ANYTHING that isn't . Although if less attention was paid to a couple of negative reviews and more attention was paid to property management, maybe there wouldn't be negative reviews? This is the THIRD day I've woken up to no hot water in the building. First I was given a cock and bull story regarding our old super sneaking in in the middle of the night to sabotage the boiler. This accusation was offered with absolutely no proof. No video, no eyewitnesses, nothing. When I pointed out the holes in the story to the property manager, she backtracked. It then turned out to be a broken computer sensor. Which is a good explanation. Why not lead with that? My issue three days in, is once again, the total lack of COMMUNICATION. It would take about three minutes to print out a notice letting all of the residents know, there are boiler issues and to please be patient as the boiler is fixed. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE. Yes, the temporary super is doing his best to get heat and hot water to us, BUT that usually happens around 9am when everyone has left for work. I stand by my earlier review regarding this business. Total lack of professionalism, responsiveness and accountability. read more

Horrible property management company with terrible customer service. You contact them about huge problems and they tell you its your fault even when its not. None of your problems will be treated with any sense of urgency even though its major. A better use of your money would be giving it away to charity or simply burning it. They charge high fees and do little to help customers. Look elsewhere for property management needs!! Take a look at their "management". https://youtu.be/LAKStslpLGY read more

New Bedford Management - Horrible experience and customer service - Property Management Near Me - New York, New York

I recently had to deal with this company as my firm owns a neighboring property. I dealt with Danielle Oriz who was not only professional, but knowledgeable and expeditious, with a wonderful upbeat attitude. read more

I have not served on the BOD nor was involved in any of the building's projects/finances, etc etc. However, as a owner, my priority is the safety and quality of life in any environment. Particularly if living in a building with various types of neighbors and situations, it is important to have a property management company who can answer questions and address issues ASAP. I have had nightmare experiences with a prior management company until New Bedford took over (thank my lucky stars for that!) Since then, the building has had minimal issues and complaints. Furthermore, when situations arise, New Bedford's team addressed everything pretty fast. Communication far more superior than the previous company - which has had led to many quick solutions to many areas of concern. The customer service is exceptional. Whenever I needed documents to be sent to me, responses were quick. Questions were also answered in a timely manner, as well. I am grateful to New Bedform and the entire team for their excellent work helping our building and to making it better. Currently, we have work being done to upgrade our building. Moreover, they listened kindly to suggestions, as well. Again, I am not on the Board or any committee.. so for them to be as responsive as they are to me, is a huge blessing. FIVE SUPER STARS for the efforts, hard work and time they put in to help the entirety of any building!! read more

From the upper echelons to its employees, New Bedford Management Corporation reaps on incompetence, they have no integrity, or credibility. And their work orders are backed up because they do not pay their vendors and owe them thousands of dollars. They subscribe to discriminatory practices, and are very dishonest. Their sister company, Red Hawk Maintenance perform substandard repairs and poor maintenance services. My parents, who are elderly, have nothing, but problems with New Bedford Management Corp. from the plumbing to the electrical. In addition, the exterior walls need to be paved due to the cold draft that seeps inside the apartment units. Garage doors are left open all day posing security risks, the presence of mice, and cold drafts. They request tenants to follow rules and regulations but fall short of what they are expected to do in relation to repairs and maintenance. Furthermore, you call either the district and main offices and they either get to you when the crisis is over or, do not get to you at all. Now, they are demanding that all the tenants in one of their complexes pay for plumbing repairs because one tenant clogged the drain with feminine napkins. If the tenant who initiated this act does not come forward, the management company, New Bedford, will penalize all tenants. This is discriminatory and a form of harassment and demands to be looked into by HPD. There is nothing in their lease that makes reference to penalizing all for the negligence of one. Wake up it is 2023, not the 1970s. P.S. The owner, Quail Run @ LaTourette & Whispering Woods (former owner, Doris Cruz, now overseen by a female family member) are clueless as to what's transpiring in their 4-apartment unit complexes at Wellington Court in Staten Island, New York 10314. It is of the utmost importance that they search for another management company. read more

New Bedford is the WORST management company that I have ever experienced during my time in New York. To say they have been incompetent would be an understatement. The problems with New Bedford begin with Larry Glick, the management agent for our building. The building has had a number of very manageable projects that have gone undone during his tenure. Calls and correspondence concerning these issues simply unanswered. When he does miraculously respond, he is rude, dismissive and discourteous to shareholders. He lectures the shareholders as if he is the landlord of the building rather than an agent that we pay. Things have escalated to the point that the shareholders have petitioned to have him removed as the management agent-- to no avail. He is an incompetent louse. If you are looking for a property management company, I implore you to go someplace else New Bedford is HORRIBLE. read more

I am on the Board of a Coop on 5th Ave in Manhattan. We have been using NBM for two years. Our original rep was not up to the job. After a year he was replaced. Our new rep Yona is excellent. We are very happy with her performance. We also are using NBM for project management on our 1198 work. George our Project Manager has been great. I recommend NBM with reservations. read more

My co-op has used New Bedford Management Company for years. They have always been very responsive and helpful. Our current manager is Larry Glick. He is truly outstanding. He is on top of the issues of our co-op and extremely helpful. We are very thankful to have his assistance. read more

New Bedford is truly excellent and I hope whoever considers them get's to read this review as well - after years of being managed by a sub par company our building got lucky enough to get New Bedford Management as our manager. We had a wonderful representative who visited all the time, was diplomatic during disputes and great at dispensing information to all. I'm happy to say our current manager, Larry Glick, is equally responsive, attentive and organized. I have no idea how he manages to keep track of multiple email threads that change topics and decisions/votes, it's a true talent! For those living in a co-op/condo...you KNOW how batty it can get. Life is so much easier when you know someone is out there looking out for the good of the building and it's financials, but also keeping the peace and being fair at all times. If you are considering companies to manage your building I hope you will seriously consider New Bedford. I personally feel lucky our building roped them into managing us - they must never leave us hahah! read more
