I recently encountered an emergency situation involving a steam pipe in my building. Upon calling Harlem Property Management's emergency number during office hours, I was assisted by Greg. I would like to formally acknowledge and commend his professional and effective handling of the situation. Greg's response was not only prompt but also demonstrated a high level of professionalism and competence. He quickly coordinated the necessary actions, ensuring that the fire department was contacted and ensuring that a plumbing contractor was dispatched to our building to fix the problem the same morning. The issue was addressed and resolved efficiently, minimizing potential risks and disruptions. As a resident, it was a distressing situation, but Greg's calm and assured approach significantly alleviated my concerns. His ability to manage the emergency effectively is a testament to his skills and the reliability of Harlem Property Management in crisis situations. I am extremely grateful for the swift and competent service provided, and I believe such dedication deserves recognition. Greg's exemplary service has reinforced my confidence in Harlem Property Management’s ability to handle emergencies efficiently and with great care for their residents' safety and well-being. --- This review is structured to be professional, focusing on the positive aspects of the incident, and acknowledges the individual's efforts in a formal manner.

It was a pleasant surprise on how professional, courteous and responsive Harlem Property Management handled our tenant move into East River tower. Anthony at the office was quick to reach out to the board so we could meet the move in date of the tenant. In my world, that's not common, that put a smile on everyone's face. Thank you, Harlem property management, for your diligent work. It will be a pleasure to work with you again.

- Lewis - Harlem Property Management
I became co-administrator of an estate that owned a 16 unit building in Brooklyn. A week after I became involved, the unprofessional management company that preceded HPM gave me four days’ notice that they were leaving, and we would be on our own. We brought in HPM, they took over immediately, and began working with me and our team to transition from the previous management company. Their team handled the transition quickly and professionally without missing a beat. They managed the building for the next year until the building was sold and worked through the transition to the new owners. They were a pleasure to work with. The entire team was one of the most professional and responsive companies I have worked with. I can only imagine what my life would have been like had we not brought in HPM.
