I live at 81 Essex and this management company is the worst. They are always trying to cut corners. When I first moved into the building, the elevator was down for 3 weeks. Imagine a building with 8 stories and no elevators. They reimbursed but only for $200, that's not even enough to get one night hotel accommodation in Boston during late August/September in Boston. Furthermore, this past winter our heat was not working for 4 days. After the second day, they brought weak space heaters to each unit, which didn't even warm up... read more
I've found the Hamilton Company more than reasonable so far during my lease. I've had all my repairs taken care of, almost all in the same day I request them. The office hours they have can be a pain if you need something done on the weekend, but for me, repairs can wait a day or two if needed. I'm moving into another Hamilton property outside Allston soon and I can't wait to live there too. I think most reviews come down hard in them because people only post to complain. Overall, if your good to them, they'll take care of y... read more
They gave my apartment to somebody else after I signed the contract and put down the deposit. I am considering to sue them now. They're so disgusting!! Don't go there unless you're sure you're not going to get screwed.
Ok, apartment isn't that bad. I have lived at 81 Essex and while it is run down, it is more affordable than anything else in the area. My problem has been with management, or lack thereof. Nothing gets fixed, problems are never addressed, no one cares. There is a guy here who rents a bunch of apartments on airbnb so there are alot of weird people always coming and going, smoking in the hallways, being loud and just causing trouble. Management doesn't care. if you go to Emerson and need a cheap place to live, then 81 essex is... read more
Seriously DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! 1. Many of their buildings have rats and roaches. 2. They only care about getting as much money from you with the least service. 3. Their staff is incompetent and rude. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!
Business response:
Hi Tim, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience has been negative. We address all pest and rodent concerns to the best of our abilities using professional exterminators, and of course would never ignore any other service issues that you have. I will reach out to you privately to discuss the matter further.
This is the worst company in the world. They are totally shady. They tow your car when you have paid for a rental spot, they screw up payments and then blame you for it. I parked in a spot that had no sign on it when i parked there and then they put up a zip car sign and towed our car away. This company will screw at every turn. Be aware. The are the shiftiest group of scumbags in Boston. This is not a rant read the posts
More Like Zero Stars Absolutely horrible, and there is nothing else to say. They sell their apartments as "Modern Luxury", but they are falling apart with significant rodent problems that are beyond repair. In addition, their apartments (the one I lived in at least, and I have heard the same of others) are positioned in close proximity to homeless shelters or have other problems that deceivingly reduce the value of the apartment. On top of the deceiving nature in which they market their apartments, they are completely ne... read more

Frustrating, downright awful management company. Better hope all of your issues happen between 9-5 on weekdays, as they are otherwise useless. Laundry, parking etc are all hassles and poorly communicated. Accidentally leave a trashbag in the wrong place, though, and you'll find a nice fine waiting under your door within 12 hours. They run a monopoly on the Allston apartment business and act like it. Look elsewhere.
