Quick update: I applied for an apartment in 2019 and guess what, the erroneous eviction was still listed on my history!!! This created such a headache and tarnished my credibility to property mgr. My application was denied b/c of Del Forno's extremely inept team. Avoid this agency at all cost.

Nov. 9 update -- received a call today that my rent for this month was still due. I've already complained several times that my rent payments have been made even though the online amounts are wrong. So today I had to walk them through my payments -- all three of them -- so they could understand that rent has been paid. And paid early! Apparently, they were unable to check their own records as to whether they've received money from me.

I have no idea how this company is in business. We bought a place and the previous owners were apart of an HOA with this company's property management "department". We wanted to know what services were provided for the money we were paying each month. I called the number listed in their website and someone named Raquel answered like she was rudely answering her personal phone. I was passed around to different people via email and would never receive responses. After several emails and a voicemail still no luck. I did however receive an email reminding me about my monthly payment

We lived on 8th Street near Hamilton Park for 5 years; the first 3 years were amazing, but then the management company switched over to the absolute worst, Del Forno. Del Forno did not have any sense of urgency when our A/C went out during a heat wave in July. It took multiple attempts to get them in to even look at it, but then they said the whole system needed to be replaced. It then took weeks to get window units put in temporarily. During this time, the person at the front desk was extremely rude and Rob (the property manager) had gone MIA. When worthless Del Forno took over our building,

Dawn at Del Forno Real Estate was incredibly helpful helping me and my fiancee find an absolutely beautiful 1.5 room studio within 30 minutes to my office in Midtown Manhattan via the path PATH... with NO FEE
She not only was receptive to our idealistic budget of $1200-$1400, the apartment she found us was well within! I would gladly recommend Dawn@delfornorealestate (.com) to any of my friends or colleagues!
