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

Completely agree with the 1-star reviews that have come before mine. My last experience with them was over 2 years ago, and it still burns me up, thinking of how rude, unknowledgeable, and incompetent they are. I had an apartment in Brookline that was sold to the Hamilton Company mid-lease. They were absolutely awful - the receptionist (if you can call her that, since she never once "received" me with anything resembling professionalism) was always rude, always an indifferent, uncaring tone to her voice and didn't know squat... read more

If you rent from the Hamilton Company you will come to regret it. I lived in 81 Essex Street and it was one of my worst experiences living in Boston. First, the building itself has major flaws. The elevator is constantly breaking down, the laundry and trash units in the basement are kept in horrible and unsanitary conditions, and the building literally smells awful. I've seen rats in the basement on many occassions (don't eat at Chau Chow by the way). Second, the area that its in, albiet close to downtown, is one of t... read more

1 star is being extremely generous. Regarding the courtyard apartments This has to have been the worst management company I have ever dealt with in the 8 years I have lived in Boston. I signed a 1 year lease and wanted out after 1 month. Their lease states that they have 30 days to do any repairs, paint, etc. Ok fine, our super had had surgery so he could not do it immediately. I understand, but SOMEONE should have been here within 30 days, not 60. It took numerous phone calls and emails and in person conversations in order ... read more

unfortunately i did not how poorly this company managed their building when i bought a condo in watertown. WORST MANAGEMENT COMPANY. the property management /manager does minimal. and when they do it is very brief and not personal at all. being in real estate myself it is ridiculous some of these people have jobs. it is embarassing to have guests over sometimes. the trash area is always a mess with the doors wide open, couches are thrown in there...disgusting. there are electrical boxes adhered to the building that the door... read more
