Rankings
NYC 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.

Slowest to close a 311 complaint

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 October 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 A ranking built from fewer would say more about who happened to write than about who manages badly, so it stays unpublished until it is worth reading.
Earlier editions
Each is frozen as it was published, so a figure cited from one stays where it was cited.
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, and 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.
