I lived at two different properties for Hekemian in the past and I loved both places. The only thing I had a issue with, was the cost of rent and what made it worse was the rent went up every year. How do they expect people to make it when most of your pay goes to Hekemian for rent. Plus all utilities aren't included. I read a lot of reviews and most aren't happy with Hekemian and I understand why. I wonder if the real owner or owners read what tenants are saying. I've come to realize long ago that these companies don't have any compassion or understanding, it's just about money for them. We live in a time of greediness and selfishness. Most people in these times just want to get as much money as they can, no matter how they go about getting it. Greed rules many people's heart. The Bible doesn't lie. If I was a billionaire I would build many affordable homes across America and overseas in certain countries and rent would only go up every 5 years and it would only be a small increase. My prayers are with those who live from pay check to pay check and the poor. I will also pray for those owners to have compassion as Jesus did.

Rent increases every year no matter what. Had to move because I got priced out. Before leaving, I called to ask questions to someone at Hekemian and verbally told them my intent to vacate. I was NOT reminded that this needed to be submitted in written form when I spoke to the person with Hekemian. I’m being charged 2k rent for an extra month even though I don’t live in the apartment anymore. Very disappointed in the ruthlessness and the lack of empathy with Hekemian. This practice of theirs is extremely predatory. How am I supposed to remember the fine print on a lease I signed more than 3 years ago? A reminder would have been nice when I gave my verbal notice to vacate.

I have been living in this beautiful community for almost 10 years. At that time there was only 1 building manager named Bill. He ran this place alone with no complaints on my part. After he retired we now have a wonderful manager named Smiley and his crew. As I see it, we "tenants" want things done in the "now" and are very needy. Many complain about the most silly things that should not waste anyone's valuable time. Most are and can be rude, and disrespectful. In my opinion, I think the buildings need some upgrades such as vents in the bathroom. The one-bedroom apartment is a girl's dream come true. It is spacious and has lots of closets. If you choose to have a garage - you can have that too, the cost of it is very reasonable compared to the newer buildings at Main Street. The rent is still reasonable considering that we are located in Bergen County, Hackensack. It's not cheap to live in decent, beautiful, and attentive management. Smiley goes beyond his duties to get everything done. I can afford to move somewhere else. However, I choose to stay right here, where it is safe, the maintenance of upkeeping the outside and outside with the exception of having a vent in the bathroom. Yes, the walls are thin, you can have loud neighbors. But you can do something about it nowadays. They sell sound- boards nowadays for apartments that are inexpensive. You can't control someone being loud - maybe they are hard of hearing. Talk to your neighbor and ask politely if they can lower the music or whatever the case may be.

Maintenance is lacking in time management. You place a request in the Portal, once its picked up they ask you what time you want them to come, they ask for another time, and dont show up at the time they themselves requested. No one9 to supervise what they do. The only thing they approach on time is their lunch hour.

This company is solely concerned about making money. Their Pineview Apartments in Bogota has been an extremely stressful, unsatisfying living experience. The building is not insulated so prepare to hear everything that your neighbors are doing. When Hekemian is contacted about these issues, they will do an entire run around without any solution. Multiple requests were put in to fix small issues in the apartment that took weeks for a response. This company doesn't care about its tenants.

If you have any common sense, do not move into any property managed by this company. They are only good for collecting rent and responding to bad reviews with " oh we are so sorry, I'm confident we can turn this around," but that's about as far as they go to make anything right. We have lived under some of the noisiest neighbors known to mankind and they have done absolutely NOTHING. The supers are the only reputable people who earn their pay and benefits, these people do not care about the people that keep them in business. Throughout this long tumultuous we have received no empathy, no action, and no retribution. Learn from my mistake and rent elsewhere. Once they lock you into a contract you're done, no one SHOULD EVEN look at apartment number 7 at the Pineview Apartments in Bogota unless you want to hang out and hear the noise. The freight train is obsolete compared to the noise above this apartment and the people who make noise in the laundry room. They have known about the neighbors in apartment 13 for quite sometime, they only act surprised because well only God and they know why. Terrible experience, but hopefully someone reads this and this apartment is available forever because No one should have to suffer what my sister and I did over this long year. The neighbors deny every claim although we have video evidence, you come here and you won't find integrity, only frustration and anger.

I was a tenant at Eastgate Apartments and Radnor Manor and have to move. The property manage and staff are great. They were very attentive to whatever problems I encountered. They are professional and considerate with the property and tenants. The supers were excellent as well. I would definitely recommend their apartments.

Someone I knew told everyone at one of their properties they were moving out at the end of their lease with over a months notice. The renter spoke to the super, the landlord, everyone, and the building told them it was good to go. The building demanded the person vacate the storage unit and the renter handed the keys over on the day of their move out. The property then charged the renter another month for not relaying this through the mail. During the coronavirus pandemic and with full knowledge the renter was unemployed. They also charged them another month for the storage unit despite demanding they leave. They threatened to send this bill to collections. Here's a side story that I think the city will love to hear. Some crazy person literally spread human feces all over a hallway wall of the building. Though the building claimed they cleaned it up, the stains of the human feces strung out through fingers remained on the walls for FIVE. MONTHS. They didn't paint over it. They didn't clean it up. Do not rent from these vultures.
