York Properties is closed on Sunday. I assume they do that to allow their team to unwind from a hard week at work, spend time with loved ones, and worship at the church of their choice. York, however, has sued Rucker Johns in Emerald Isle, a property tenant, for closing on Sundays. That's disgusting.
This company has sued one of their tenants in our local area for a lease violation. Apparently, the restaurant here decided to close on Sundays to give their heavily burned out staff a break from the post covid summer business boom. It was an attempt to allow their staff to spend time with their families recuperating and preparing for the week ahead. Their staff is thrilled but York Properties saw this as a reason to sue them despite the staggering losses of business suffered by the restaurant industry during over a year of pandemic fallout.
This is unconscionable. Companies like this deserve the worst rating they can get. Shame on York Properties...!
I would leave less than one star if I could. For someone to sue a family owned business because they are closing on Sunday s because COVID has left them with a short staff and they need a break, is the most absurd thing I ve ever seen. They are based in Raleigh and are suing one of the Emerald Isle best community based business for closing on Sunday s because that business bring people to other stores? They are what is wrong in the world and honestly have no respect for their tenants or humans for that matter. York Properties is the definition of what s wrong in the world.
York has been our property manager for Cameron Village Condos for a number of years. They have served our condo association in the most professional manner. They are responsive and have provided excellent guidance and direction. I have served on the board and worked closely with York over the years. They are an excellent company.
If you don't mind paying HOA dues and have no problems arise now or in the future then they are the company for you. I often would hear how my neighbors were treated at my condo complex. It was not until I had to deal with them that I understood how difficult and unresponsive they can be. I felt that maybe it was too, time for me to go this year. I was under contract in 4/2021 and York had to produce my statement which had a credit balance. On 4/30 I sent in the remaining payment for my last month in my home. I then found out in 5/2021 that a bill was placed on my account (from 11/2020) stemming from a problem with an outside pipe that 3 condos shared. York maintenance could not fix it and called in an outside source who used the same tool and unstopped it. I must mention that I have never had any issues with my HVAC which was serviced twice a year and filters changed every month. On Yorks statement to me, it said HVAC blockage which is a Lie! York maintenance and the outside company assured me that I had nothing to worry about and showed me the PLASTER that clogged the pipe. The only prior work that had been done in the condos came from another job that York's property manager at the time, Renee Shingleton, scheduled in 2017. I wanted to use someone else since I owned the condo. I spoke to the president of the board who assured me that it was okay to use the company because he had recently had a leak in his condo. Both technicians said that it made sense that the plaster clogged the pipe slowly over the years from that job. I have documentation and pictures where I complained of the poor plaster and paint job that had to be redone by the company she hired. The property manager only apologized for it. The current property manager, Mary Thaxton had York maintenance call me in 12/2020 to say that if ANOTHER problem came about from the outside pipe then the association would not be paying the bill. (so The bill was paid) I called back and explained that I never called them to begin with and the guy told me that he knew I didn't but Mary asked him to call me and give me that message. I called Mary and left a message for her but she never returned my call. It was surprising to now be looking at this bill which was placed on my account, six months after the incident and according to their statement, printed on 4/30/2021, showing a due date of 4/01/2021 which caused my first ever late fee on my account because it blocked my remaining May payment. They knew that I was selling, so they stuck this bill on my account to collect money from the closing attorneys to clear my account with York Properties, leaving me to now call them for a refund. And as you see in all of the other complaints, they don't answer the phone nor emails. This is the slick tactics that they use. I finally heard back from Mary when I left a message for her boss Anna Claire Price and Mary said that she was out of the office (I'm guessing since 12/2020). She wanted to read me the bill from the plumber and I told her I already had obtained a copy and it said nothing about my unit being the cause but it did say plaster and lint were found in the pipe that three units share so how did I get the bill. And I haven't met an HVAC that spews plaster. After all her excuses, she then finally said the board told her to place it on my account and explained that she billed me in 2020 and she apologizes for their billing department being so slow to get it to me in 2021. REALLY!? She then promised that she would speak to the board about this and get back with me. I'm guessing that was a wrong move because before I heard back from her the next week, York Properties sent out an email that Mary was transitioning to a new role. So now, here enters a new property manager who says that he knows nothing about it and would get back to me in a couple of weeks after talking to the secretary and reviewing everything. You guessed it, I have heard Nothing from him.
We love working with York Properties. Everyone there is so responsive , helpful and kind. We especially love Anna Claire Price! She always responds quickly and helps us with any issues with have with our home owners associations. We would HIGHLY recommend using York Properties for any HOA management!
This past year we launched our new business serving the greater Triangle area and we were having a hard time locating the perfect space for our showroom. We connected with Julie Paul and let me just say, she was nothing short of a saint.
Julie helped us locate and negotiate our lease agreement for our new business and was very patient and thoughtful in her dealings with us. The professionalism of Julie (and the entire York team) has been totally stress-free and seamless. The management team at York Properties helped us quickly and beautifully upfit the space to suit our needs. Many months after opening, we find that Julie continues to check in with us and provides amazing customer service.
We have had such and incredible experience working the the entire team at York Properties, we'd highly recommend working with York to anyone.

I would concur with a previous poster about York suing a restaurant owner in Emerald Isle because this establishment has the audacity (SARCASM) to be kind and thoughtful and gives his employees Sundays off. As long as York gets the rent, who cares what day the place is closed? I hope the PR blowback is worth. And to top it off, the York website is not accepting messages through the "contact us" link.
I live in a building that has been managed by York Properties for 25 years. We have been consistently pleased with the quality of management, as well as the value that York Properties offers to our building's owners. Our personal manager, Anna Claire, is responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. We couldn't be more pleased with York's outstanding work for all of us at the Cotton Mill.
I was very impressed working with York Properties scouting commercial properties. Julie Paul was very professional and personable assisting our efforts. I am pleased to recommend York and Mrs. Paul in particular.
