Rankings
Manhattan management companies, ranked by the City’s own records. Nothing here is our opinion of anyone: each list restates what HPD and 311 have on file, per apartment, for companies large enough to generalise from. How these are built.

Management companies with the most open Class C violations — the City's “immediately hazardous” category, covering no heat, no hot water, lead and vermin — measured per apartment across their whole portfolio.
Who is included: At least 5 buildings and 50 apartments, so one bad building cannot top the list. Source: NYC Housing Preservation & Development, open violations, as recorded in August 2026.

Slowest to close a 311 complaint
Management companies whose tenants' 311 complaints took the City longest to close, weighted by how many complaints each building contributed.
Who is included: At least 5 buildings and 10 complaints in the past year, so a single slow case cannot decide the ranking. Source: NYC 311 service requests, past 12 months, as recorded in August 2026.

Lowest rated by tenants
Management companies with the lowest average rating from tenants who lived in their buildings.
Who is included: At least 5 reviews per company, and at least 10 companies qualifying, before this list is published at all. Source: Reviews written on this site, as recorded in August 2026.
Not yet. 0 of 10 companies have the 5 reviews this list requires. A ranking built from fewer would say more about who happened to write than about who manages badly, so it stays unpublished until it is worth reading.
If you manage a building on one of these lists: the figures come from the City, not from us, and they change when the record changes — we refresh weekly. If the record is wrong, HPD is where it gets corrected. If we have attributed a building to you that you do not manage, tell us and we will fix it.
