Parkoff Management manages many buildings in upper Manhattan in the Inwood/Washington Heights area. BEWARE- I have been a tenant of one of their buildings for over 5 years, and I have had to take them to housing court to fix a hole in my ceiling that was leaking for over TWO YEARS. Now (one year later), the hole is back. Additionally, they're now trying to raise my rent over 31% in my lease renewal. My building is Rent Stabilized, and according to DHCR Rules, the rent can only be raised 7.5% annually. I have contacted Parkoff repeatedly for the last 2 weeks, trying to get someone to explain to me how the lease could go up so much, and (surprise) I cannot get anyone there to return my phone call or email. I know many of the tenants in my building are having similar problems. My advice to any potential renters... DO NOT RENT in any building owned by Parkoff Management!!!
Cons: non-responsive employees, unclean living conditions
