Extremely Unpleasant Company – This company is awful. The apartment started out great. But anytime we had to deal with management, we were outraged at how disgustingly rude and purposely unhelpful they were. I got married while living there and they REFUSED to add my husband's name to the lease, even though we were resigning for a whole new year, with a new lease. Our neighbor next door passed away and they let a cockroach infestation spill into our apartment. Even after numerous complaints, they did nothing. The last straw ... read more

RENTER BEWARE!!! – There is no amount of money that is worth having to deal with the disgusting people in the management office. They hang up on you and are never available, either in meetings or out to lunch. Is it even a real office? Immoral and rude. stay far away from their buildings. This managment company is horrible. Part of the reason Im moving out of my building was due to the poor service and managment skills at EFM. I had to call the office multiple times to follow up and "remind" them to cash my rent check!! I go... read more

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL – This company is despicable. They withheld our security deposit for 90 days, made bogus claims about the apartment. We were kind, courteous, and sent them five separate letters. Not once did they respond more than a phone call saying "yeah, we're just not going to give you the full security deposit. No reasoning, no nothing. NEVER RENT FROM THEM. NEVER NEVER NEVER.

Absolutely horrible company – Long story short, this company is absolutely horrible. Their apartments have some positive aspects, but they definitely have their share of problems (rodents, etc.) and in no way are worth having to deal with the disgusting people in the management office. Words cannot describe their lack of ethics and rudeness. We're all lucky that it's not every day that you have to deal with people as horrible as the people of Edel/Majestic Realty. And you can lower your chances by staying far away from their... read more

Unprofessional and useless – This managment company is horrible. Part of the reason I moved out of my building was due to the poor service and managment skills at Edel Mgmt. It took me 5 months to get my security deposit back after I moved out!!! And I had to call the office multiple times to follow up and "remind" them that I was waiting on $2,500+ of previously deposited cash - extremely unprofessional. The receptionist who answers the phone at the office is rude, places you on hold multiple times, and gives very short ans... read more

Great living conditions LOVE the neighborhood! – Edel Family Management has its properties in the Washington Heights area. I am living in my apartment in 812 W 181st street for 5 years now and I am pretty happy with the landlord. They repaired my toilet in a matter of 1 day. I left the superintendent my keys, he is very trustworthy! The only thing im not too satisfied with is that i had trouble opening my windows the superintendant couldnt fix it it took them about two weeks to hire outside help to get it going. Other than t... read more

Run away from 34 Bogardus place and Edel Family Management!!!!!! – I don't know what Frenchi925 is talking about, clearly they work for or with EFM or were paid to write their review. I lived at 34 Bogardus Place in apartment 2C for three nightmarish years in a 175sq ft studio. When we first moved in they told us the fan above our kitchen stove would be installed within the first week. After two years of hounding them about it they claimed that we would have to pay for someone to come in and install it for us. Their repair p... read more

Stay away from Edel family management – I have lived for 3 years in one of their buildings as a rental client. True, the apartments are nice, the buildings are nice and the neighbors are even nicer. Wait until you live there a few years. You will be slammed with an increase in rent between 30 to 60%. Mine went up with 60% and there was no negotiation possible. While the building is nice, the management told me one day "I should be grateful living here". What grateful? I paid my rent at the dot, did not complain about the fac... read more

Edel Management could not care less. – At the moment the building has a BEDBUG infestation. Please steer clear of 225 Bennett Avenue--for your own good. The exterminator was not helpful or thorough. In the past they have shown no desire to send contractors or plasterers on a working person's schedule. Take the day off, they say. How does one do that? Can't your neighbor stay? No, they work, too. And I wouldn't burden them.
