As a safety precaution, windows should be washed only from the inside of your apartment. If you would like the outside to be cleaned, we can arrange this for you by appointment.
My windows are dirty.
My floors look old, will you refinish them?
Although we are constantly refinishing floors, we will never do so while an apartment is occupied. The wood dust created by the sanding process makes it prohibitively disruptive for tenants.
Will you install new appliances in my apartment?
If the apartment is rent stabilized or rent controlled, new appliances are available upon request. One-fortieth the cost of said appliances and installation will be applied to increase the rent pursuant to applicable law. If you have a free market apartment, we will install new appliances on an individual case basis. Decisions are made based upon the age, function and aesthetic appearance of current appliances.
Help! I think I have bedbugs.
Bed Bugs are tiny red dot’s usually found on beds. They can leave a series of bite marks that may appear like a rash. If you have reason to believe that your apartment may be infected with bedbugs, contact us to set up an inspection by our bedbug specialists. If they find evidence of bedbugs, we will send a team to help alleviate this problem. Successful eradication of bedbugs requires tenant cooperation and compliance with extermination directives. Superior Management Incorporated maintains bedbug-free buildings. If bedbug warnings occur, we take immediate corrective action.
The following is our standard bedbug treatment protocol: All open crevices in molding and sheetrock must be caulked; mattresses are wrapped in special bedbug-free material; door sweeps are placed at the front entrance to prevent bedbug migration; bedbug prone areas must be sprayed regularly.
Bed Bug Mattress Disposal (NYC LAW)
A new law that just came into effect requires that all mattresses be wrapped in plastic when being discarded and is enforced by a $ 100.00 fine.
