I am on the board in a condo conversion building that is approaching its 5 year maturity in about 12 months. We have had fairly negative experiences with our current pre-sale management. Just basically unsatisfactory maintenance, repair, and service based on what you'd expect owning a condo, as well as some obvious overcharging for repairs and recent Local Law 11 work. Although not entirely shocking given the nature of a building converting from renters to owners, we are starting to research a new management company and would like to be thorough. We are preparing to eventually restaff the building after finding a new management. Has anyone on this board been through such an experience and would anyone have advice on searching for said new management group? FYI, we are a 60 unit condo in manhattan. Just looking for advice on where to start. Thanks! [less]
