Property Management Services Serving owners, tenants and neighborhoods in the greater Syracuse area.
Maintenance of rental properties requires a number of decisions needing input from all parties. Finish levels are decided based on NY State and city codes, owner's funds available, and an eye toward what is appropriate, which varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. The standard that does not vary is keeping properties up to code. In Syracuse the Property Manager is held responsible for all code violation and who is fined for unrepaired code violations. Mel & Jay has grown to a size that required us to start our own maintenance company AffordServe, LLC. AffordServe performs most maintenance for us as well as for other customers, however, Mel & Jay's work is always the top priority and accomplished first. In most cases we charge time and materials for our work. Materials are NOT marked up by either AffordServe or Mel & Jay, and labor is billed at $38.50 per hour. If the work required involves a specialist (i.e. appliance repair, complicated electrical work requiring a licensed electrician, plumbing requiring a licensed plumber, furnace replacement) we will mark up the sub-contractors bill The AffordServe website address is www.affordserve.com.. The AffordServe staff are experts at balancing cost to results issues concerning maintenance issues on investment properties. The emphasis is on working for the highest return per dollar spent by the owner. We do not require that Mel & Jay or AffordServe do the work on any owner's property needs. Owners may use any company they desire, but we do require that all work be done to our standards. Owners generally discover we are the least expensive and quickest way to accomplish maintenance. If there are emergency maintenance issues Mel & Jay will arrange to have them repaired to a level that removes the emergency status. An example of this might be a sudden plumbing leak that is destroying the owners property. We would repair the leak to stop any further damage and then discuss with the owner how to go about the repair of the damage done to the proverty before we stopped the leak. Often, this type of maintenance will rear it's head in the middle of the night.
