It's taken me 3 months to finally write this review, well, to finally write it that is. But hopefully this will help someone out to avoid the Hamilton Company at all costs. I'm currently from Hartford CT, and was looking to move to the Boston area this September. I got an appointment with the HC and was shown some apts by one if their brokers Brandy Coteau ( BTW, she is the only reason I gave this company 1 star. She was awesome, professional, and very nice.) Anyway, I was shown an apt on Commonwealth ave.(I think it was 114... read more

One word. Miserable. The day I moved out of their property was probably the happiest day of my life. This place has a major pest problem, I killed a few mice, but I keep hearing them scratching the walls, thin walls, very loud neighbors, broken elevators, unplowed parking lots (seriouly after 3 feet of snow, they decided to plow it once... not worth it for a $135 a month parking fee), The FRONT door got shattered SIX times in one year. I was feeling unsafe. I moved away but I am still dealing with them. After one month tryin... read more

Unfortunately, Boston tenants are at the mercy of their apartment management companies, and the management companies are well aware of this. I lived in a Hamilton Co. apartment for 2 years, and have nothing but negative things to say about them. They are often rude and unresponsive to tenant requests. Our building had a faulty fire alarm that kept going off- at all hours of the day and night- for days on end. The fire department was deployed multiple times, and even though several tenants in the building called to complain a... read more

Terrible, awful, incompetent management. I've lived at 81 Essex St for the past 10 months. My most recent problem has been with the light fixtures in my living room and my bedroom. I notified them 11 days ago. Hence, the eternal question: How many days does it take for the Hamilton Company to change a light bulb? I wish I could tell you, because they still haven't come back to fix it! Other than that, I like the location, but the building is older and is not managed very well. I initially had problems with my mailbox, which ... read more

ILLEGAL TOWING--This rating is related to Hamilton's affiliation and use of ABC (Frank's Towing). Frank's ABC Towing illegally tows cars from the Hamilton company's parking lot on a regular basis. There is a 4 hour maximum parking time. I was towed after 2 hours. I have seen them tow a car under the maxium time limit multiple times. One time I said something to the tow truck driver about towing under the time limit. His response "your're luck I didn't choose you." The company has rude male employees who try to intimidate dri... read more

Free at last, free at last, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I'm FREE AT LAST! While I only lived at 1025 Hancock Street for about 6 months, I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to rent there to save the time and aggravation. Between the problems with the property manager, cockroaches from the previous tenants and general disrepair of the building, I truly think I would have been better off anywhere but there. If you're thinking about renting a unit here, or god forbid purchasing one of the units in the building... please d... read more

Our building is very poorly maintained. Anything that requires any sort of regular maintenance is usually a problem. Doors are always broken, keypad rarely works, both of our elevators are currently broken. Staff is friendly but usually not very truthful.

I've been a loyal Yelp user for years, and this is the first review I have ever bothered to write. In early October, I rented an apartment near Central Square from The Hamilton Company with a lease beginning January 1st. The lease was signed; the checks were cashed in October. Today, at the very end of November (after subletting my own apartment), the realtor who found the apartment for me contacted me to let me know that the woman currently living in the unit that I rented weeks ago wasn't aware that her apartment was *bein... read more
