Madison on the Park Condo

April 2nd, 2013 by admin

York277On January 1, 2013, DMREM began managing the Madison on the Park Condo Association, an historic 11-unit condo building located at 277 York Street in the Van Vorst Park neighborhood of downtown Jersey City.

The owners called on DMREM when their previous management company fell short of expectations after Hurricane Sandy.  The building sustained quite a bit of damage from the storm, which hit at the end of October 2012, but had barely made any recovery by the time we took over.

We’re happy to say that things are finally getting back to normal.

Facade Work Keeps Out the Elements

December 15th, 2012 by admin

Facade_webWe’re currently project managing facade repair work at one of our Jersey City Heights condo buildings.  After years of dealing with water stained walls & ceilings and water puddling on the window sills every time it rained or snowed, the owners finally challenged us to try to determine where the water was coming from.  After a thorough investigation we thought we figured out the problem.

We identified 3 major structural deficiencies that were contributing to the leaking. The first was the front parapet wall.  The top of the front wall, which is covered by a number of capstones, had large cracks and joints

Cleaning Up After Sandy

December 6th, 2012 by Mike

Mercer_webThere’s no other way to say it…Sandy was a real capital B-I-T-C-H!  She was the most devastating storm the tri-state area has seen in the past 100 years.  And she made sure she left her mark on Jersey City, Hoboken, NYC, and the other boroughs.

Unfortunately, some of DMREM’s clients in downtown Jersey City were hit pretty hard.  Pictured above is a 3 unit building that we manage on Mercer Street, opposite City Hall, that got hammered.  During the storm, tenants say the water was flowing in the street like a river.  The water level reached the side view mirrors of most mid-sized cars parked on the street.

Fire Escape Refurbishment

September 27th, 2012 by Mike

FireEscape_webFire Escapes are very important building components that are often neglected.  In the state of NJ, that won’t be the case for much longer.  There is a statewide mandate for municipalities to regularly inspect and certify these all important, life-saving structures.

In Jersey City, the Fire Department has an initiative to have every fire escape inspected within the next 3 years.  What does this mean for property owners?  It means that you better pay close attention to the maintenance of your fire escapes, because if you don’t it could get very costly.

Condo Bathroom Renovation

October 15th, 2010 by Mike

Kennedy Bath 1AHere are some photos of a complete bathroom renovation that we did in a condo building in Jersey City.  The bathroom was gutted down to the four walls and floor.  The  shower walls were removed and replaced with Hardibacker Board; the shower body was replaced; a new self-leveling underlayment was poured to re-inforce the subfloor, the drywall was skim-coated with compound, and a combination of beautiful 12×12 and 3×6 (subway) Grecian White Marble tiles were used to finish everything.  Of course, a new toilet, vanity, medicine cabinet, and lighting were installed.  The only thing that was salvaged was the bathtub, which was reglazed.

Running water running up your utility costs?

January 28th, 2010 by Mike

Leaky FaucetThe 2009 calendar year has officially come to an end and a new year has begun.  For property managers this means closing out the books, generating year end financial statements, and creating budgets for the new year.  This, to me, is an opportunity to prove my worth to my clients by showing them profits and/or savings, especially in this tough economy.
