Monahan Property Management

Everyone beware! This man (Paul Monahan) figured out that people were warning others about him and his company and so he changed the name from Monahan Property Management to Central Massachusetts Property Management. What a sleaze! Let me explain to you how he remains employed: he does anything and everything for the Board Members to get them to want to keep him around, and he does NOTHING for the other owners except attempt to make them as miserable as possible! He is a pathological liar. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN!!!! He will tell you one thing and then turn around and lie to the Condo Board about it. He has no conscience - he is a wormy little creep! My skin literally crawls when I see him or have to speak to him because he has treated my family so poorly. He continually produces issues that require $$ that we never knew we needed before and guess who gets a portion of all work performed? You got it! He brings in his deficient workforce to do a less than mediocre job and then takes a portion of our money for ""supervising"" the job. He has zero credentials and he doesn't know the meaning of customer service. Agree with everyone else that he sends annoying letters (that he charges us to send out) and he will at times accost an owner publically in these letters if they so much as question anything he has done. Interesting tidbit - when I moved here and before he managed the property, the Condo meetings were very well attended with lots of chatter among neighbors. Recently there was a condo meeting and they couldn’t take a vote because only one person showed up. No one wants to be the next target! Our Condo Board has sold their soul to the devil, and the devil is Paul Monahan. Remember, it is now Central Massachusetts Property Management. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

I lived in a property managed by this goon for over two years. Every week it seemed another annoying little letter was being sent out, and the joke of it all is that when I told him I wanted to talk about a couple issues in person - completely professional, in a non-threatening tone - he wouldn't have it. He said he'd ""send me away"" if I showed up at his office. This is clearly the archetype of your typical passive-aggressive bully; he sits at his little control pod in stodgy little Shrewsbury, MA off route 9, and writes his rantings for his ""girls"", as he calls them, to go deliver to everyone. He doesn't engage residents over the phone. I found it much more helpful to deal with one of his ""girls"" than with Mr. Monahan. He's a rude, obnoxious, self-righteous little man with an ego the size of Texas (and likely nothing in his personal physique that quite, ahem, matches up). (Digression): The best part was that when I was moving out, the condo association president of my building - who would GLARE at girls in the parking lot, the disgusting little guy - threw away a box as I was apporaching the dumpter for my last round of trash before moving. I happened to peek into the dumpster and, voila, big box of play boys and hustler mags was spilled out on the bottom of the dumpster for all to see. this is the kind of man that, to me, seemed perfectly at home doing business with a slug like Monahan. (End of disgression). Anyway, stay away from properties managed by this ""winner"". NOT recommended! Pros: None to speak of. Cons: Everything I wrote in the review. AVOID! more

I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewer. Paul Monahan of Monahan Property Management is rude, obnoxious, and much worse than a short reiview can do justice. He creates a horrible experience for those that reside in properties that he manages. He charges exhorbitant fees which are completely out of line and much more than other property management companies in the area. He seems adverse to doing anything for the residents or the property if it involves any expense at all. He regularly sends out letters to owners and occupants with a threatening tone that show absolutely no respect to either. Paul Monahan regularly intrudes on our lives through these letters and occasional voice mails. He and his trustees should let people live their lives and stop interfering when it is clearly not called for. His letters will sometimes speak about being a good neighbor, but he is the worst neighbor and biggest nuisance of all! It is hard to feel at home in your own home when at any time this poor excuse for a human can interfere in your life for just about any reason. Residents and owners can attest to the poor job he does with the property and especially with his treatment of people! I have never heard a kind thing said about the man, and have heard complaints about him many times from my neighbors over the years. This man doesn't deserve to have a job interacting with people on any level. It's time we found new management! Pros: Non-existent Cons: too many to count and growing more

I lived in one of Monahan's apartments for two years. Paul Monahan is a rude, obnoxious, incompetent, and ineffective manager. Since my wife and I have been living in the apartment, our refrigerator broke, our toilet tank stopped working, our windows were painted shut by idiot handy men, the air conditioner filter had never been changed, under the carpet there is a tackless strip in the bathroom doorway that someone could get hurt on if they walked on it with no shoes (these strips are not supposed to be placed in doorways), I was threatened twice to have two cars towed from the parking lot because they did not have plates (one of the cars was in the process of being sold and the other had only been sitting for one day. Paul Monahan took the liberty of placing big orange stickers right on the windows of the cars before calling me. Completely rude and unnecessary). The walls in the apartment are so thin that I can hear the neighbor's phone conversations next door. Coincedentally my wife and I have to wear earphones when we watch TV because we got a notice from the office that our neighbor complained of loud TVs and stereos. They were not being played at excessive volume. About 6 months ago I was in the shower covered with soap and the water unexpectedly shut off. I called Paul Monahan and he first told me to call the town and then he said that he remembered that they were doing work in the building. Nice of him to give notice to the tenants. We recently gave our notice that we are moving. Paul called today and told me that he wanted to bring down a potential tenant to look at the apartment even though we are paid up through August. I told him that I work nights and sleep during the day. He didn't seem to care and said that he would be by at 11 the following day. He kept telling me that he had the legal right to do that with 24 hours notice. He came into the apartment a few hours after I spoke with him and showed it to the tenant while I pretended to sleep. Pros: None whatsoever Cons: The list is endless. more
