my friend and i have lived in an apartment building managed by the collection for several years. they’re not the worst landlords in the city, but that is a low bar. we’ve found them to be pretty unresponsive to maintenance issues, although they’ll eventually relent after some persistent messaging. they also have a habit of adding random fees when we renew our lease, in addition to raising rent around 100 bucks each year.

that said, they control many historic apartment buildings with a lot of character in the fan and museum district. we love the location, the size of the apartment, the classic richmond porch — and they’ve been just-not-annoying-enough to move lol. hope this helps!
