I have loved every moment of my time renting from Street & Co. Everyone is courteous and professional, and issues are addressed immediately. This is hands down the best agency Ive ever rented from. I will happily rent from them in the future and recommend others do so as well.

Never move into a building that is managed by Street & Co!!! They are lazy and incompetent. We have had several issues which they did absolutely nothing about. We are currently dealing with a RAT issue and they have not been helpful and have caused us an extreme amount of stress. They are not properly taking care of the condo building which has turned into a wonderful place for rats to live in.
Every building will have its share of issues and you expect them to be properly dealt with in a timely fashion, yet that will not happen when dealing with Street & Co. Condo associations are wasting

NEVER EVER EVER!!! Stay Far away from this company... JIM FAY is by far the worst landlord of all time. I feel I need to warn people because it was THAT bad of an experience.
1. We had a mold problem in our apartment. Serious mold problem.
Jim ignored the problem completely and refused to do anything.
2. During the winter (this winter especially) had a TON of snow. This resulted in a major leak in our roof. Jim refused to fix it.. and claimed "oh we need to wait until winters over" Once winter ended... we asked him numerous times to fix it. He then replied and said.. "I will

I second everything that Danielle M. says about Street & Company, and in particular Brooks Porter. Stay away at all costs.

I lived at a building managed by Street and co. for one year. Our landlord, I'll call him V.A., had been incredibly derelict in the most basic duties and when emergency services were required (e.g. plumber to fix multiple clogs/leak from outside/etc), he passed the buck. Or, he acted like we were imposing by making the plumber's bill out to him for services he is required to fulfill within a certain timeframe as guaranteed by tenant/landlord laws. Enter this "management company." While we were never offered more than one key, the management company felt it appropriate to give
