Who runs the property? 11/10/2010

We used to have a great property manager. We came back from our winter home and found a new woman holed up in the office who doesn't want to do a thing for you. She doesn't seem to know what is going on and has problems resolving the simplest request or issue and sends you to the front desk for everything. Rumor around here is that the last manager ticked off a penthouse owner and was dismissed - and they replaced her with someone who should be renting out section 8 housing. Who is running our building? For being the "premier condo" in Minneapolis, we expect better. FYI - For all those documents you can go to the property web site and print them off - no need to pay all those heavy fees more

Avoid at all Costs! 6/1/2010

Quantity not quality is the game at Gittleman. They manage 280 buildings in the metro. WAY WAY too many given the number of employees they have. Everything is fee based here. They may have reasonable up-front costs but they pass the buck on to the residents. $125.00 for a copy of the budget and rules/regs for resale disclosure!!!! Extortion!! Astronomical late fees on hoa dues and additional ficticious ""Attorney"" fees on top of that! 48 hour response POLICY (they get back to you in 47 hours on all inquiries, email or phone. Nobody EVER answers their phone because they dump you into the voice mail system automatically. Worst customer service bar NONE.\r Pros: Cheap up front management fee Cons: Individual residents soaked with fees for everything! more

I've lived in three Gittleman managed properties and all have been buildings older than 15 yrs old. Cosmetically, and I believe mechanically, the buildings 'seem' well managed, but I wonder if the large repairs on the buildings are really needed, and I wonder whether the biding process is truly honest. To me, it appears that often the same contractors receive the bids to do all the work; and thereby are the cono owners perhaps paying more for projects then might be necessary. Another concern I have is that usually the maintenance people live onsight, thus the asociation owns those units. I'm not aware of other condo associations across the US that do this, I wonder if cleaning maintenance might not be provided cheaper and equally as well by hiring a commercial cleaning firm that would clean all the Gittleman properties, and thus there would be economy of scale savings. Also, this would also allow the associations to sell the units the maintenance staff live in. On the other hand, mananging high-rise condos is complex,eg: I believe there are only 4-6 insurance companies that insure these types of building; also knowing which HVAC contractor is truly capable of replacing equipment on roof-tops is difficult. Lastly assocication dues are costly, often in the upper $200 - 400 per month. more
