Full Time Management

Very big scum bags. They should be in prison. If I see them in the street I will attack them. Sad that it has come to this. I’ll attack them verbally only btw.

I was also very reluctant to rent from them after seeing Unilocal reviews. I just signed my 3^rd year renewal though because I am satisfied (so far). Whenever I had a problem, I would email Full Time or call the super and problem would be fixed. It could be way worse. so far I have no complaints. I live in a renovated unit in Greenpoint btw and the apartment was in amazing shape when I moved in. I guess I just got lucky? Crossing my fingers this doesn’t change!
BTW if you were going to their office, note that their mailing address is different. Made a mistake of going to the mailing address office instead of the leasing office. I think they need to update their website also but whatever. minor problem.

To be clear: the apartment we are in is on montrose and Manhattan. The walls are paper thin — seriously. You can hear EVERYTHING, there is ZERO installation and they could give zero craps about charging you an extra $ 600 than they should be.

I read the reviews and was very reluctant to rent from them in the beginning. However, it was a renovated church in Greenpoint… it was hard to pass up. My boyfriend and I decided to go for it anyway. I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised. There were some issues with the stove in the beginning, but we called the manager and they sent somebody the next day! The building is gorgeous and the renovations are amazing! Plus, having a gym and laundry in the next building over isn’t too shabby either. I would highly recommend renting from them even with all of the other reviews. We have lived in the building for 3 months now and everything is great!

I know why you’re here. After a long and grueling apartment search, you think you’ve finally found «The One.» It’s in a neat location, probably close to the train, and it’s beautiful! There’s probably even ~*ExPoSeD bRiCk*~. And for that much apartment, the price really isn’t bad. And so you are thinking of signing a lease with Full Time Management.
Don’t do it. Run. Run away as fast as you can.
Yes, the apartment is nice on the outside. Beautiful, actually. But what they don’t tell you is that on the inside, it’s crumbling. The nice brick or remodeled floors come at the expense of a crumbling infrastructure. We had cracks in the wall because whoever built the building just forgot to make them meet, I guess. Leaks constantly — some so bad that my roommate had to abandon her bedroom and live in the living room for weeks.
The worst part? Despite frequent calls, texts, emails, and complaints, none of these things were addressed. Occasionally, if a problem was serious enough (read: they can be sued about it) and you complain enough about it, the management will call somebody up who lives in the area to come by and take a look at it. They are not professionals, nor do they even particularly know what they are doing (with the exception of Orlando, shoutout to him.) They are impossible to reach to follow up with and once they come by and check out the situation, they say they will be back the next day, but they disappear into the wind, and the management has by then washed their hands of the situation.
Problems included, but were not limited to: leaks at multiple parts in the apartment, broken heat and no water for weeks at a time, rats everywhere in the building, and of course the occasional cockroaches, maggots and ants, dishwasher and intercom broken for months, pipes held together by grocery bags and duct tape, and the worst — cracks in the wall which, for 8 weeks, let the dust from next-​door construction come through and cover everything I owned. Every single day for months, my roommate and I would get home and I had to spend two hours cleaning up my entire apartment because there was plaster dust in everything I owned — food, dishes, laundry, bed, etc.
We must have notified management a hundred times about the situation through every conceivable avenue. Nobody cared or did a thing. The cracks also let in all of the cold air from outside during the brutal winter. Because temperatures got so cold, the pipes froze and burst, flooding almost every apartment, some to such a degree that the fire department had told them they needed to move out. I spent a lot of nights sleeping in a full coat. Our heating bill was astronomical because the old heating system wasn’t capable of fighting the cold. Of course, we weren’t reimbursed for this expense, and my roommate and I ate hundreds of dollars.
We absolutely had a legal case, but neither myself nor my roommate had the time or the money to pursue it. We called and demanded to be let out of the lease because of the uninhabitable condition of the apartment. They would not let us unless we signed a waiver releasing them of all liability for the situation, and we signed it because we just had to get out of there for the sake of our own sanity. Between the heating bills they never covered, the moving costs, and the months of rent I paid for living in an unlivable apartment (out of fear of ending up on the dreaded blacklist), I am out thousands of dollars.
Full Time Management is run by criminals. They stole my hard-​earned money and they will steal yours too.

To confirm what others have already said I moved in to a dusty, filthy apartment with quite a few issues.
I honestly do not even know where to start.
I have had a few issues for about 4 months since I have moved in and nothing has been resolved. No real help seems to be available.
Its pretty hard to get ahold of a building manager too. I don’t even know the name of mine. Anyway I highly recommend looking for a management company with higher standards for customer service and take better care of their buildings.
My building is also under Adar Holdings LLC.

If I could give zero stars I would. This is by far the shittiest management company I have ever dealt with. Upon moving in to my apartment I cried at the state of it. It was so incredibly dirty I had never seen anything so disgusting. There was even a baking sheet sitting on the floor in one corner of the bedroom which to my surprise was covering a gaping hole in the floor that any number of small rodents or bugs could crawl through. I thought that security deposits went to cleaning and fixing the apartment after the previous tenant moves out but apparently not. The tub and bathroom were so disgusting that my boyfriend actually thought the tub was rotting away until he started scrubbing it to reveal it was actually intact and white under several layers of grime and dirt. After spending several hundred dollars on cleaning supplies and not being able to unpack for weeks after moving in, the apartment started to look decent… But I think the worst part of living as a tenant under this company is how incredibly unhelpful and rude they are. When we first noticed the refrigerator was turning itself off and spoiling all of our food they replaced it almost immediately. This lead me to believe that we were in good hands. I was wrong. I reported to them that our entire kitchen cabinet was moldy due to a leak in the kitchen sink and that the unit needed to be replaced. It took OVER a month for the unit to be ripped out and replaced. Not only is this extremely unhealthy and dangerous living conditions, they seems to not care at all and were extremely rude to me on the phone. Yes they eventually replaced the cabinet and counter but they installed it crooked so that everything rolls off of it and they didn’t replace the sink which is barely large enough to wash a dish in and still leaks. We recently found out that we have had a small gas leak coming from our stove for the entire year and a half we have been living here. National Grid immediately turned off the gas line but it took a week for the management company to fix the gasline so we could actually use the stove again. Apparently a tape that is supposed to be installed on the stove on installation was never put in place. I’m sure that it has been that way for years. Our kitchen pipes have froze several times this winter. In times of large rainstorms our basement floods and turns the pilot light out on our water heater thus rendering us without hot water until they decide to come fix it.
Other problems in our apartment are:
–squishy floors in the bathroom & kitchen where the wood is rotted
–shitty stick on linoleum tiles that are peeling up throughout the kitchen
–backyard patio floods
–there are a total of 7 outlets in our apartment which makes no sense for a two bedroom. At least 3 of them are falling out of the wall or don’t work unless wiggled repeatedly (there is only 1 outlet in the bedroom)
–faulty wiring throughout the house, most lights for rooms are not in the actual room they work for
–bathroom door doesn’t close except in winter
–the basement beneath us houses large amounts of trash as well as feral cats & rats (now my strictly indoor cat has fleas)
–large holes throughout house near floor that have stealwool pushed into them
The list goes on and on. Basically this company doesn’t care about it’s tenants at all. After living in this apartment for almost two years we JUST found out the name and number for our super who says he basically doesn’t do anything helpful. I would not recommend living in a building managed by this company.

I have been renting an apartment of theirs right near the Myrtle-​Wyckoff stop on the L since Dec 1, and these people are SLUM LORDS. The building I am in is under Adar Holdings LLC, and as a previous reviewer stated, they have different names for their various buildings. Perhaps they think this makes the problems of gross neglect seem less widespread?
At move-​in, the stove was broken, the dishwasher was non-​functional [in addition to being installed so it could not open], the ipod dock and speaker system was non-​functional, the key cards we were given to access the building were only SOMETIMES functional, the building itself was not secure and we were already getting packages stolen from our lobby.
They sort of fixed the dishwasher, a friend of mine fixed the stove just a few weeks ago, they fixed the ipod dock to reveal a sound system as abysmal as installing earbud speakers in the ceiling. My tiny netbook has better, less crackly sound. Needless to say, we never use it.
There have been leaks in the apartment through the vent in the bathroom ceiling and now through the light switches in the wall. And the toilet began to come loose from the floor a month ago and still no one has come to fix it.
There is a problem with the wiring in the apartment, so entire circuits short out at random even when nothing is on, which means the apartment has faulty wiring. After two months of complaining and wondering whether we will die of an electrical fire, this problem has still not been fixed.
Which is not to mention the roof deck we were all so excited about. It’s the dead of winter right now, so no more than a few people have been on the roof, but when there, because the building is so structurally unsound, mere walking causes our entire apartment to shake, frames to fall off walls and items to fall off shelves. In the summer when people start throwing actual parties up there, I am 100% sure our apartment will become unlivable. Or the management will have to shut down the roof deck all together, which is an amenity we were all promised.
So if you are thinking of renting from these slum lords, PLEASE STEER CLEAR. They have already told us they would not let us out of our lease and we are going to have to take them to housing court.
DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID.

I’ve been renting an apartment in Bushwick from Full Time Management. They are under the name DK Stockho LLC for my building, as well as various other named LLCs for their other apartment buildings.
The management is extremely unorganized and uncommunicative, as well as rude when I’ve tried to have them make repairs to the apartments. They are completely unresponsive, ie, they do not take action when I call to report an issue. I have been trying for 2 – 3 months to have a leak and mold issues fixed.
There are other sources from tenants on a web search that indicate similar issues with this management company:
