3 Lessons We Learned About Managed Buildings

by Leslie Alexander, Lead Housing Specialist

1. No Broker Fees: A Game-Changer

One of the most significant advantages of managed buildings is the absence of broker fees. In a city where these fees can cost up to 15% of a year's rent, this saving is substantial. At NYC No Fee, we specialize in connecting you with these fee-free apartments, potentially saving you thousands of dollars right from the start.

Top tip

When budgeting for your move, remember that the money you save on broker fees can be put towards furnishing your new home or exploring your new neighborhood.

2. On-Site Maintenance: A Stress-Free Living Experience

Gone are the days of chasing down landlords for repairs. Managed buildings typically have dedicated maintenance staff on-site, ready to address any issues promptly. This convenience cannot be overstated – from a leaky faucet to a malfunctioning appliance, help is just a call away.

The peace of mind that comes with knowing your living space will be well-maintained is invaluable. It's one of the many reasons why NYC No Fee often recommends managed buildings to our clients seeking a hassle-free rental experience.

3. Doormen: Your Personal Concierge

Many managed buildings come with an unexpected bonus: doormen. These unsung heroes do much more than just greet you at the entrance. They accept packages, enhance security, assist with groceries, and can even be a friendly face to chat with after a long day.

The presence of a doorman adds an extra layer of convenience and security to your daily life, making your apartment feel more like a home and less like just a place to sleep.

Living in a managed building in New York City can significantly enhance your rental experience. From the financial benefits of no broker fees to the convenience of on-site maintenance and the added perks of doorman services, these buildings offer a level of comfort and ease that's hard to match.
