Tue Feb 16 2010Stay away from these people unless you run a slum and want to hassle your tenants. Look at the Custo Barcelona property at 71st Street and Columbus they manage. Unpaid real estate taxes; filthy hallways, overfilled garbage bins; sidewalk littered with glass. When you call for action they hang up They get one star only because no stars is not an option

Mon Dec 14 2009You will be told whatever you want to hear when you interview ABMI- the reality of what you get is far different. We muddled through with this company and were astonished at the number of mistakes they made (their accounting system is abysmal) and their incompetance. The final blow came when we ended our relationship (we elected not to renew our contract and gave proper notice)- they immediately ceased working for us (despite still being under contract AND cashing a check for the month) AND then stole two months payment- they just wrote a check out of our account for two additional months and deposited it into their account!!! Yes Folks, they will just steal from you!!! BE VERY CAREFUL before doing business with them!!!

Wed Aug 05 2009They don't return phone calls. They don't return emails. They pretend they did not get them. They are extremely rude on those rare occasions when you get them on the phone. Today, I called and was shouted at right from the beginning. When I asked very politely not to be spoken to in that way, I was yelled at by Andrea Bunis herself, I quote "You sent us 9,000 letters" and she hung up on me. I actually sent only 3 emails 2 months ago, one of them they claim they never got. If I was treating my clients 1% of what I got today, I would have lost all of them. If the Zero Star rating was possible, that would be my choice.

Mon Nov 10 2008The previous poster is inaccurate in a couple of areas. Andrea Bunis Mgmt did not suddenly decide to fire the super and porter. The Board of Directors fired both employees because of a physical altercation initiated by the super. There is a zero tolerance policy for violence in the workplace. The locks to all rooms were changed for security reasons after this incident and the keys to these rooms are available from the doorman after signing for them. I don't know if phone calls and/or emails were not returned and I won't comment on this shareholders abrasive personality.

Tue Jun 03 2008Our building has been under this management for less than one year. Our account manager, Jay Osborne, ignored two voice mails I had left (actually claimed, "I never received any voice mails, I've no idea what you are talking about"), and also said the same about an email I had written, until I begged him to check his mail again (all the while insisting nothing was there- but then, ah! he found it). When the management decided to fire simultaneously our super (in the building for 28 years) and the porter (in the building for a handful of months), they also changed the keys to all the common areas (storage, bikes) and still weeks later residents do not have new keys. An email to question the management on the timing of keys being supplied has gone unanswered, just like the others. When I became agitated on the phone due to the non-responsive nature of our rep, he informed me that I was "unprofessional" and advised me how to act in the future. I suggest this management company learn what ... Read more

Thu Apr 03 2008We have switched to Andrea Bunis Management and I must say I am very impressed thus far, they have been overseeing our property for about six months. I have seen a tremendous turn around in all facets of the property. They have saved us a substantial amount of money on various contracts, implemented several great new polices, and they?ve even managed to improve the performance of our building staff. We have several large projects coming up and ABM has offered great incite. As a board member I can honestly say that we are all looking forward to the future! Our property manager is Trent White, he is very honest and straight forward. We all feel comfortable letting him run our building, the main reason we changed companies was because we constantly had to micromanage our building. We no longer have to do that! Great Company!

Sat Feb 16 2008On the Board of a 100 unit upper east side co-op as treasurer. We hired Bunis Management as managing agent a year ago. Good move. We get our financials on time every month with supporting backup and their budgeting process is detailed to the level of what we do at my Big 4 firm. Any questions the Board has is answered with thought and their advice is spot on. Very professional and hands-on involvement and their presentation at our annual meeting was absolutely marvelous.

Thu Feb 14 2008I live in a 137 unit co-op in Manahattan that Bunis Management runs.They were very helpful to my family during our six month apartment renovation and smoothed out alot of the rough edges with my contractors and the co-op's engineer. They also helped me maintain relations with my neighbors and the Board during what could have been some testy times. They manage the building very well and there is a noticeable difference in how the staff treat the residents compared to our old agent.Would highly recommend without reservation.

Tue Jan 29 2008They don't return phone calls. They don't get anything done. They keep passing the buck & are extremely rude on those rare occasions when you get them on the phone. Other shareholders agree & we are trying to get them replaced.

Thu Dec 27 2007One of the buidlings has been undergoing DAILY construction that is very LOUD for OVER A YEAR and the managment company won't answer questions about which days the construction will be happening (whether it will be on holidays) and when it might end. While I understand that renovations and construction are necessary, yet they have no respect for people who need to work from home and plan their schedules accordingly. Andrea Bunis herself was rude and yelled at me for inquiring about the dates of construction.

Sat Feb 18 2006Fabulous people to work with. Great emergency response and availability.They have a knack for knowing what is really going on in our condo building and are ahead of the curve on all our issues. Very detail oriented managers. Most professional agents we have ever dealt with.

Fri Feb 17 2006They are the first company that can really handle our board. They have been great at handling contracts. Most important, someone always gets back to you when they say they will and that person can answer any question or will get you the answer right away.

Wed Feb 15 2006I own apartments in several cities and I wish all of them could be managed by Andrea Bunis Management. I can reach someone any time of the day or night and any concern I have is handled by someone who knows what they are doing.

Wed Feb 15 2006Andrea Bunis Management handles our 62 unit condo in NYC and have proven to be capable and responsive managers. They got our elevators running right after more than a few go rounds with the service contractor and they know their numbers on the financials. Would highly recommend this firm without reservation.

Wed Feb 15 2006We were referred to Andrea Bunis Management by both our CPA and attorney. We were impressed during the interview and walk through of our building. They have treated us in a first class manner in every area. Our prior managing agent treated us as an afterthought and second class client (even though units in our building trade in the low seven figures!) and they were not available. We have heard similar tales of woe from smaller buildings like ours but we are totally satisfied with our decision.

Thu Oct 27 2005Bunis Management are the agents for our 72 unit co-op in manhattan and do a fine job. Our Board totally respects the work they do and the residents are very pleased with the noticeable turnaround in our building compared to the service (lack of) from our last agent.

Thu Oct 27 2005They are the managing agents for our 282 unit condominium and have worked very hard for the condo buyers with certain issues with the developer. They really know their business-our cpa and attorney should be so easy to work with and as results oriented. Quality group of people.
