New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Unfortunately we live in a world where we can go get ourselves a real estate license and then call ourselves a managing agent. There should be a list of worst managing agents and I'm pretty sure our elected officials don't want one due to the fact that's where all their $ comes from. There is a bill where managing agents would have to be licensed and it still baffles me that my hair dresser goes thru more state requirements to cut my hair then my managing agent who oversees numerous residents housing.
The building I live in we have allarea managment and I wouldn't recommend them at all. Why do I need to explain to the managing agent various building codes issues? Why do I need to remind him the elevators need to be inspected? I could go on and on...and this company should be closed down but they have given $$ to our elected officials.
