Terrible property management company. Very disappointed in their lack of communication. The building is absolutely beautiful but there is trash and dead animals laying around. When it snows, it takes days for them to shovel. They dont empty the dumpsters often and there is a terrible smell in the storage area and lobby. The one 5-Star review that they have is clearly from a business partner. Hes reviewed 24 companies, all 5-Star and all in the building/remodeling industry

The absolute worst builders. Would never buy anything from them again. Punch list items after settlement well over a year before addressed. Try getting them to come and finish anything, what a mess. If you made the mistake of buying and cant back out, do not settle before everything is complete. Community common area projects unfinished over a year after promised. Months of emails and calls with no response. Safety concerns? They dont care. Buy from anyone else. Ask anyone at Liberty Square in Northern Liberties, or just walk through and see the mess yourself.

Shawntay was great when we were looking for a place to live.

Shawntay, Chloe and the whole PRDC team have been ideal to rent from since day 1. The team was very accommodating to get me into a beautiful, new residence (The Lincoln Building), Patrick and the maintenance team have been quick and kind in addressing any requests, and the team overall has been very welcoming in their day to day interactions as well as the occasional events they'll throw for the residents. As someone naturally inclined to be hesitant towards landlords in Philly (let's be real, who isn't), I honestly enjoy what I'd call a friendly, personal relationship with this team from the beginning, and trust they'll continue to take care of me and my unit for years to come.

Shawntay and Chloe are responsive and helpful, don't get me wrong. However, I lived in the Lincoln (1222 Locust) and found the PRDC Properties rental division to have terrible management. The manager Robert Bricker literally ignored e-mails, texts, phone calls, and pretended to be busy when I walked into their office at 740 Sansom even though I saw him walk past the front desk when I arrived. The Lincoln building has a nice showroom look when you tour, but the quality is not great. The video intercom never works. The towel racks in the bathrooms weren't hung properly, so they fall down. The windows are super drafty in the winter, sometimes you can't get the apartment above 68 degrees between the draftiness and the central air turning off before reaching the desired temperature. The building had a faulty fire alarm system for months. Instead of communicating with the residents, PRDC hired a private security company to sit in the lobby and sleep half the day. No explanation why we had a private security firm taking up some of our only communal space for the building for months on end. The one night when the fire alarms went off and everyone evacuated? No private security personnel to be found. When I moved out, I got charged $450 of my $1,000 security deposit for "cleaning and pest control." Literally, I spent hours cleaning a 700 sq ft apartment. How on earth would you spend $450 on professional cleaning for a 700 sq ft apartment that's already been cleaned? I e-mailed photos to Robert and David Perlman to prove it was clean the day I moved out. Both of them ignored my follow up e-mails. The management of PRDC is incredibly cheap towards its residents. I had a lockout (literally my key broke in the door because it wasn't aligned right) and they wanted me to pay the locksmith until I provided receipt that I found one for under $100. When the basement flooded, they evacuated the entire building and gave each unit $152 for a hotel stay. My roommate and I shared one hotel room (normally we have separate bedrooms and bathrooms) and spent $173 so that we could get a hotel near our work at the end of the Mainline. PRDC refused to reimburse the extra $21. They are so cheap that they changed the electricity bill after we moved in so that each unit pays a flat rate, regardless of electricity usage, because they realized "they weren't charging us for heating/cooling the hallways." Our electricity bill doubled. Thanks. PRDC is one of Philly's worst property companies, just look at the actual reviews for their home sale or rental divisions. 90% of the residents are young college students, nurses/doctors trying to be near Jefferson Hospital, or people under 30 who don't know any better. Longer-tenure Philly residents know that PRDC is a huge waste of your money.
