Brokat Builders

Second that smoking super comment. Happy I don’t live in a Brokat Builders building anymore. Mangement definitely left something to be desired.

This property management company is essentially a slumlord. Elderly superintendents are unable to do their jobs, and maintenance rarely gets done in a timely manner. Building front door lock broken? They let that go unfixed for several months, security be damned. Big no-​smoking signs are stenciled onto hallways on each floor, and yet tenants smoke with impunity. Want to report it to the super? Too bad, he & his son are the biggest offenders.
Additionally, they don’t have any full time staff available to be available during standard business hours and don’t respond to emails quickly, making communication difficult.
Finally, they engage in some dicey practices involving lease riders in gentrifying neighborhoods. Essentially, they make their tenants sign waivers saying that the «market value» of their unit is thousands of dollars more than the actual rent, meaning that come lease renewal time, they’re able to raise the rent dramatically in a legal way, as it’s just a % of the «market» rate for the unit. If possible, I would suggest avoiding this company.
EDIT: I have been informed that they operate under several other different property management company names, but are all the same enterprise. Watch out for the following: Seventh Avenue Management Corp, AD Shaye, Sunset Slope Management
