Cedar Realty Co Inc

I just moved into the James Building Oct 1st, 2010, the landscape, the peaceful and beautiful historic building are great and the area is very quiet. Before I moved I was told I would get new appliances and I did, I was told they would refinish the floors and paint my apt and they did, I was promised a new bathroom sink to replace the current leaking one and replace a missing closet door in my closet and although still pending for next week, I have no doubt the Building Manager Sandy will do it. She has come thru on every promise made by either the Owner or Office personnel and been insrtumental in getting it all done, at first, I must admmit, I was doubtful but now I know they keep their promises. I know I will be happy here. more

I live in the James building on Paulina.It is clean and priced at a comfort level. The heat is free and more than adequate.It's a big building but noise is kept to a minimum.I have never had a problem that was not addressed in an immediate and pleasant way. I recommend this building to anyone who wants a nice affordable apartment. more

I just moved into the James Building which is on Paulina. My experience with the office from Pat who took care of my lease and answered all my questions to the owner Al who I met when I signed the lease was very pleasant. You get a little lease packet with everything you need to know. Including the gas and electric company numbers. The building from outside is actually quite beautiful with an English garden setting. They made a frantic time calming and extended not just common courtesy but open friendliness. I think they are great. E. C more

I am a current tenant in the James Building managed by Cedar Realty. I would never recommend renting in this building or any building managed by Cedar Realty. The building manager employed by Cedar Realty (Sandy P.) is often non-responsive to maintenance requests and passes blame onto the owner. The owner (Al LaBunski) is even more unresponsive and passes blame onto the building manager. In short, it takes a lot of initiative on the tenants part to get anything repaired. Most of the time (at least in my experience), it takes getting nasty, withholding rent, and faxing in 14-day and 24-hour lease termination notices to get anyone's attention. It's a shame b/c the building is lovely and in a wonderful location, but those things come at too high of a cost. more

Cedar Realty is extremely responsive and helpful. The building I'm currently in is managed by them; Cedar Realty and the building owner work together to ensure the building is clean, safe, and in good repair at all times. Each month, they also send a rent "invoice," a great reminder for me to send a check (I need it!). Along with the invoice, they sometimes send information on real estate for sale through Cedar Realty. The leases also expire only twice a year, in April and September. So if you start renting in Feburary, your lease does not end until April of the next year. more
