From the very 1st month - when our upstairs neighbor left his bathroom sink running & water came pouring down into our bathroom ceiling, flooding the light fixture, warping the door frame & destroying the plaster in a huge patch on the hallway wall - I always felt as if I was waiting for the other shoe to drop in our bldg.
To add insult to injury, HRM Co, the management company that the bldg insisted on keeping in its employ was terrible.
We never had a civil conversation with any of the employees of HRM. They are mean, indelicate, deceitful, confrontational, unprofessional, rude ... the list goes on.
Example: water was pouring down onto my head & an employee of the mgmt company told me, ""Calm down now - I'M not the one running water upstairs from you!""
What? WHAT???????????????
WE JUST MOVED IN & here I am watching my new home get destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that's what you say to me?
A few months after we renovated our apt, HRM's lame-ass plumber wanted to rip out our custom countertops, so he could get to a pipe that was leaking 2 floors above.
And the HRM would have let them if I hadn't been there to tell them NO!
Add to all that unpleasantness (as if one could), were were under constant (and I mean constant) scrutiny & accusation by HRM who would post snide letters in the bldg chiding owners - yes, the OWNERS meaning US, the people who emplyed them - that we needed to ""follow the rules"" etc.
Do yourself a favor, if you are at a crossroads about who to hire to manage your bldg, stay far, far, FAR away from these mean-spirited people!
Cons: mean, deceitful, negligent
