The vice president of the Trump Place condominium board, Anna Fishbeyn, said that the move was coming for a long time. “We’ve been waiting for their services to improve for years,” Fishbeyn said. “And when they didn’t, we started investigating other services.”

According to Fishbeyn, her office has been receiving quite a lot of thank you notes from residents for switching management companies.

“I have received email after email thanking me for the decision,” she said. “We were in part responding to [residents who] over the years who had been accruing complaints, and talking about the lack of responsiveness… of maintenance issues.”
