Leeds Associates, LLC

My experience with this management company has been extremely disappointing. After a flooding and ceiling collapse occurred in my apartment, I immediately notified management and vacated the unit due to the condition. A licensed environmental remediation vendor was not retained immediately. It took continued follow-up and several weeks before a professional inspection was scheduled and remediation began. Even after remediation started, the process has involved demolition, industrial drying equipment, and ongoing repairs extending well over a month. During this time, I have been displaced from the apartment. Despite the unit being under active remediation, I was informed that legal action would be commenced to collect rent after I withheld payment due to the apartment being uninhabitable

how they treat their tenants should be illegal. their apartments are falling apart with cracks in the ceiling and with tenants that violate every noise rule and never get taken care of. Terrible cracks in the walls let through cold and hot air, rats, brown water, electricity that can't even handle basic electronics being turned on without the entire breaker tripping and the entire apartment's power going out. Owners should genuinely be in jail for what they put their tenants through.

I honestly had an extremely good experience renting from Leeds. Management was prompt, helpful, and well-organized. The application process is pretty thorough and I would recommend having a good co-signer, but the rent for the area (Upper West Side), was remarkably reasonable when I signed on. Then when it came time for my lease renewal, it was barely adjusted for inflation: a measly $15! Unprecedented in this year of skyrocketing rents gouging out or forcing out tenants. The best part of my experience here was the live-in super(s), Louis (and his lovely wife). He was extremely friendly, responsive, helpful, and reliable. Truly above and beyond. He would be at my door within minutes and fix anything I needed. If I locked myself out at 3am, him or his wife would wake up and let me in withou

Rented a place in kips bay for 3 years. Ismet - super in my building and his lovely wife - were my everything there! I had not a super, I had friends! Helpful, responsive, kind. In general, management was fine. Didn’t fix stealing packages problem though. They know who does it systematically in the building.

I was a tenant for over 2 years. Due to circumstances outside of my control, I was faced with breaking my lease early. Not only was Barbara extremely rude and unhelpful via email, she refused to return my phone call to work through the situation amicably. After 2 years, you would think they would have appreciated a good tenant, but instead were forcing me to sign a lease break agreement stating that I would pay nearly $1000 to break my lease in addition to any unpaid rent until a new renter was in the apartment. I was trying to work out an agreement, but was met with responses like "calling our office won't change our policy" and "and Mr. Leeds should divert his office staff from his business to yours?" and "you have your answer." Horrible management. Avoid at all costs.
