PMC Property Group

I posted this yesterday and it was removed. Don't know why, unless property management controls this site. No other reason. So I will just check back EVERY day to make sure everyone sees this review.

I am a current resident at one of PMC buildings. Do NOT rent here!!!! They bill their properties as secure and make renting out your room for subleasing or Airbnb illegal. That's fine and great to protect the residents. However, what they don't tell you is that you can rent out your appartement and when someone complains to management, they will either ignore the claim and tell you that you are the problem or retaliate against the person who complains. This is supposed to be a safe place and I have encountered: drunk people walking around my floor in the middle of the night, Airbnb guests on my floor, and a family of five subleasing a one bedroom apartment with a single mattress on the floor. These same "tenants" leave garbage in the hallway despite the potential to attract bugs and the fact that a garbage area is steps from their door. Again, if you report it, you are the problem. Not to mention the homeless drunk man who got into the building, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and did a lot of damage here. I recognize that there are always problems. However, you cannot advertise yourself as a "secure" building if you allow this behavior to continue. A lot of college students, graduate students, and residents live here. For parents, it is not safe here. Please keep this in mind, when you are looking for a "secure luxury building."

Also, I feel it is pertinent to mention that the windows in the building freeze during the winter resulting in a cycle of freeze and thaw. The water accumulates on the windowsill and runs down that walls. The water also damages the paint around the window and causes a buildup of black mold. In addition to the fact that the paint is continually pealing and landing all over your apartment, you have to clean out the mold every spring. I have no idea how they keep charging people so much to live here.

Please be further advised that the freight elevator has not worked in weeks and there is no update on that. Also, most weekends, of the three elevators, only one works (this happens quite often). Try waiting 10 minutes to get of the 23 floor, when you have an appointment. It is truly frustrating. As much as they try they cannot seem to fix this issue.
Also, look at the photo I posted. This has been worsening in my bathroom since I moved in. I reported it as I can literally hear water running though my ceiling and walls at least 2-3 times per week. I recorded the sound on my i-Phone and called maintenance, twice!!! I was told that the people above me must have flooded their bathtub—three times a week day for 4 years!!!! No. These are real things that are happening now at this apartment. DO NOT RENT HERE. This is a “luxury” building of last resort!!!!! Planning my escape because I just can’t take the constant gaslighting and cognitive dissonance that comes with living here.

There are so many problems here that you simply cannot count them. The elevators are often out of service and wait times are long. This has been going on for years. The windows freeze and thaw leaving chipped paint and water damage, not to mention the black mold every winter. You can hear water running through the ceiling and walls. I have significant water damage in my shower from the ceiling and was told, it did not need to be fixed. I did call about this twice to no avail. The water continues to run. Let's see, what else. You can also hear every single thing in this building. I have a crying infant on one side of me. I can hear every time the person above me flushes the toilet. Every time someone walks past my door talking, I can hear it. Dogs barking when people go to work and cabinet doors being closed. The person next to me complains becasue he can hear me in the shower. This is so creepy. We have quiet hours and making too much noise is a lease violation. However, they won't enforce it here and actually get a little snitty with you when you report it. What else, they have set move in hours but people move in when they feel like it. So if someone decides to move in at 11 pm at night and you live by the apartment, forget about sleep. Again, nothing is addressed. Recently, I called because of excessive subletting and Airbnb guests, despite repeated emails telling us that it is a secure building and we cannot do this. When I reported it, the management person was more upset with me because I threatened to rent out my apartment than she was with the actual people who are subletting. If you have an issue with management, they gaslight you and tell you that all the complaints that you made to security (which you are told to do), they never heard of so they basically tell you that it's your fault it is going on, despite the fact that you did indeed report it. Also, let us not forget the homeless people who keep sneaking into the building. This has been going on for so long that we lost access to the bike room and a side entrance because too many residents were letting in people who did not live here. I have ring doorbell camera footage of drunk people checking doors in the middle of the night on my floor. And let's not forget about the homeless man who snuck in, stole a fire extinguisher, and then did damage to the stairwell and lobby. The fun just never stops here. When problems happen they ask us to be vigilant. However, when we are vigilant and report things, they literally yell at the person reporting it and then hang up on them. Corporate will not return phone calls. From this experience, I can only surmise that PMC Property Group does not want my rent money. All they had to do was address any of these issues, but alas no. Why you would want subleases in your building when you have tenants like me who always pay their rent on time each month is beyond me. But here we are and my lease is ending...so, I will be moving and I will also be sharing the myraid pictures and information I have about this building. I will share it until my fingers bleed.

Central to everything—Chinatown, University City, Rittenhouse.

Floor-to-ceiling windows (great for my plants), good sunlight, if facing east, and nice views. Quiet, especially on higher floors. Friendly door staff. No problems with mail.

Apartment gym has everything you need for a quick workout (some dumbells, kettlebells, erg machine, peloton, boxing bag), or if you don't feel like going to a real gym. There's a planet fitness up the street around 18th.

Electric and water can run pretty steep. Otherwise, A/C and heating work great. In-unit thermostat and washer/dryer.

Nice building, but PMC is very slow at fulfilling maintenance requests.

Responsive maintenance, great facilities, pet friendly, modern apartments with underground garage and free gym, free study rooms, great rooftop with views of the city and the Delaware river. Next to all shops and restaurants in the heart of old city, 6 minute drive to campus.

2040 Market is a very convenient location. It is on market Street, which is one of the main roads of Center city located near several bus and tram lines as well as a short five minute walk from 30th St. station for Amtrak. It’s a 25 minute walk to work and a 10 minute bus ride. It’s also directly across the street from Trader Joe’s and a walking distance to several nearby restaurants and coffee shops. It feels both close to rittenhouse, but also close to Logan Square and the art museum. What stands out the most though is the fact that all apartments have floor to ceiling windows and get excellent lighting whether you’re facing market Street or Ludlow, and also have in unit laundry. The building also has temporary parking in front of the entrance which makes moving really easy. It’s staffed with very friendly doorman 24/7 and has a gym, bike parking, car parking for a monthly fee with direct elevator access up into the building, and a rooftop. It also allows pets. While the building is definitely Wharton heavy, it also has a group of chop/penn people in healthcare and the overall community of the building is nice. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for an apartment building style with good amenities but still an affordable price.

I love this apartment complex!! The gym is awesome and makes working out so much more accessible during the busy residency schedule. The pool is also amazing and a great post call relaxing day! My husband and I live in a 1 bed and it’s the perfect amount of space for us. Everyone here is great!

This complex is an old warehouse with great spacing. The rooms are large, including the bathrooms and bedrooms. Also, ceilings tend to be high and there is a lot of variation in layout. The building is quiet and full of young professionals, mostly medical professionals (we live near Jefferson). Some of the appliances in the kitchen are a bit dated but still work. There is constantly staff on duty for any maintenance requests, and management is located in the building offices. Key fabs are used to enter the front door and elevators. Some of the windows let in some cold air as a draft, and they are currently fixing our boiler system. They seem to have a good plan to maintain our heat from the boilers more frequently in the future.

I really love living in this apartment. I've been here for 3 years and I have no plans of leaving. The windows let in a lot of natural light and the area is pretty quiet. My unit is also really big, bigger than most have paying the same price.

300 Saint Paul Place is the worst building to live in. It may seem nice, but the building is notorious for having a roach problem, elevators breaking constantly, packages stolen, oh and the best part - the rent payment system constantly 'breaks' and doesn't pay the rent so they charge you fees saying you had no funds to pay. They always blame the residents when the leadership and staff are horrendously inexperienced and woefully incompetent. They refuse to help the residents because it's easier to blame them for the problems they cause. If you don't want roaches and ridiculous fees, don't live here. Also, they refused to move the dumpster from the top of the electric access point, so we were the only building in the city without power for 4 days.

Love 201 Stanwix. Package room, key fobs to get in elevators, really good sunlight and huge windows, hardwood floors, management and maintenance are amazing too

Overall, the Allegheny Apartments is a nice apartment building. The kitchens are modern, yet the building maintains a historic feel by using the original wood floors from when the building was first constructed. Only points off are that it's somewhat expensive and there's also not much of a connection between people in the building.

An older building (early 1900s) with all of the charm (original floors, beautiful crown molding), but also some of the pitfalls (radiator heating, no central air, occasional mouse). Some units are more recently renovated than others, mine is definitely on the older side. The staff keeps all packages safe, the gym is solid, and maintenance is extremely responsive. The residents are very quiet and I've had no issues.

Compared to my other resident friends, my place is significantly larger and cheaper, and in the same neighborhood as everyone else. Especially for a doorman building, I think its a steal.

I have had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I’ve never had a work order go more than a day. They are constantly improving safety measures. The gym is clean and there is in-unit washer and dryer. We control our A/C and heat. The cost of water is added on to rent but it’s only $40 I believe.

This is about the most uneven living experience you're going to get at Richmond. On one hand, you'll be within 15 minutes of school, right in the heart of the Museum District, and within walking distance of some of the best bars and museums Richmond has to offer. On the other hand, you'll pay more than you should, deal with management that's objectively poor, have to fend with a tyrannical towing company, and may (or may not) have ghosts if you're in the main building. So, you'll take the good with the bad!
