Gesher Management Llc - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Etherius

Look these guys up on yelp. The previous location was in Verona PA. Still the same management, new office location.

I had posted a review from the previous office location that has since been deleted along with the dozens of other wildly negative reviews. (no surprise there...)
Please please please do not Rent from this company. I lived in one of Gesher's properties for just over 6 months, and it was the worst 6 months of my entire life.
The house I rented was BEAUTIFUL, but had soo many secret issues that were just "covered up."
#1 concern... MOLD MOLD MOLD!! I am still fighting toxic mold poisoning and seeking help to make sure that house is not able to be rented again. Both my room mate and I had mysterious health problems and couldn't figure out why. Dr's didn't know, but we got worse and worse.
#2 We had no heat for most of the winter. We complained and told Gesher only 2 rooms will heat past 55 degrees. His response was "I can send someone to install a blanket on the door to keep it warmer." Are. you. Kidding.....?
#3 BAD MANAGEMENT ALL AROUND!!!! We had a leaky roof, and asked Gesher OVER AND OVER to please fix it. Again, Gesher's response was laughable and frustrating "I put an ad on Craigslist for a roofer, what else do you want me to do!?"
#4 Electrical problems. We had breakers blown constantly, no electric in half the kitchen and constant problems with electronics just "dying"

We were threatened when we tried to put rent in escrow and felt bullied by this company non-stop.
PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. they will cut corners and do ANYTHING to make a cent. ANYTHING!

If you love leaky roofs, black mold, an unresponsive maintenance man, rats, and paying more than what the property is worth, Gesher is the rental company for you! They finally returned my phone calls about the leaky roof AFTER I had an inspector from the Department of Health come take a look at the property and he alerted them of the necessary fixes. They didn't fix it... or even pretend to... BUT they did call me and ask me not to reach out to the Department of Health again, so that's something.

Gesher management took us in and got us in our new apartment with in two weeks of finding out our former landlord sold the property we were on with out notice prior. Ever since our signing the lease Gesher Management was willing to work with us, and give us freedom to make the rental our own. When we moved in, we asked them to maintain the yard for the first cut, so we could just get settled In the house. We also asked them if we could repaint the bathroom and make it fit our style and the help us to put in screen doors so that way our dog
Could look out at the neighborhood. They have been truly amazing!!! And when it comes to maintenance, everything is scheduled with us by the book, and on time. If it’s an emergency, Gesher Management has you covered. Going with Gesher mad a terrible situation easy and extremely accommodating.

I want to give high praise to Alex, my service tech. who has been to my house twice. Alex is a great guy, he is professional, friendly, hard working, excellent as his craft, and is a pretty funny guy. He was able to resolve my issues in a very short time, was very caring about my concerns and cleaned up after he was done performing the work. Gesher Manag. you really need to hold on to Alex!!! Thanks again.

Reasonably quick with responding to maintenance requests. We did have a few problems with leaks, electrical, garbage disposal and ants but they took care of it within a couple of days per my requests. I was initially worried about dealing with a property management company because I've had and heard of bad experiences in the past, but my experience has been positive. The house was not well insulated and cold air gets into the basement, but I just put up some weatherstripping and stuffed some fiberglass insulation around the tops of the basement walls (a roll of it came with the house, so no cost to me) and that allieviated the problem. They seem to have some of the lowest rates around, and I feel better about giving my money to a smaller company than a large, fancy company, because a smaller company cares about their individual tenants more than a bigger (more expensive usually) company. Ashley at the office is great to deal with. I'd reccomend Gesher, with the caveat that if renting an old house, be sure to check it thoroughly to make sure it fits your expectations, as one would with any old house. I'm happy!

Worst place i have ever rented from in my life. We rented a property and the roof was so old that it collapsed two ceilings that they never fixed because a roof for a house that old and steep had an estimate of 30k to fix. The foundation was (and probably still is) cracking. Because of the moisture from thee roof, the entire house ended up with black mold. My fiance needed 2 inhalers while we lived there, but once weir e moved, he's well again. It appears now, on Zillow, they have now slapped some paint on the walls coversing the mold and put down carpet and raised the rent from $1100 to $1700. The area is awful, neighbors' homes getting shot up, loud neighbors, cops always being called, and a high theft street. It's not worth 1700.
Now the staff are hands down the rudest, most disrespectful people I've ever met. They have screamed at me on the phone when we asked for repairs. Idk if it's just one lady at theì two. Butúy_ are VERY ignorant on how the laws and their responsibilities as a landlord. They have absolutely no professionalism and are under qualified to do the job. They try to bully you, harass you, and extort money from you even though we were never late on rent.
They are scammers, problematic, and incompetent

Don’t rent from them they don’t take care of the property correctly. They send random people to come fix things who don’t fix it right and don’t clean up after their done working. The “property manager” doesn’t return calls. He came out in October to fix the cracks in walls and never came back. Water leaked in basement sent someone to fix and water still leaked in. Mold in kitchen ceiling leaking tub. Mold all over house.

I've had the pleasure to work with Gesher Management for a number of years. The management and staff are honest and hard working, always willing to go the extra mile for their tenants. I would recommend renting from them to anyone!
