The Bohan Company

Look this job sucks. No one ever notices you unless you screw up. Bart and his team do a great job knowing it’s many times thankless. We appreciate what you guys have done for us in our condo building in San Francisco.

This company manages the HOA at my SOMA building in a completely unsatisfactory manner. When they first started managing it took them almost six months to be able to update the callbox for anyone’s unit. After that they proceeded to change everyone’s numbers despite the fact they’d been the same for 6+ years. Response time to work orders is very slow or non-​existent.
On top of everything else they sold my email address to realtors because I’ve started getting sale requests at the email address I use exclusively for HOA mailings.
I do not recommend this company at all.

We have had three management companies for our HOA and I can tell you that the Bohan Company has been the best yet!
They have solved all of our financial problems, assisted with legal issues with our previous management company, and been responsive to any and all issues that have come up since we have contracted with them. Our managers have been available, informed, professional, and have helped us work with the «special» concerns of some of our «problemed» owners…
I would, and have, recommended the Bohan Company to any Homeowners Associations looking for a management team to guide your Association to financial stability and professional management.
BTW I have been the HOA President for our Association since 1995, a thankless job, but somebody has to do it!

I’m quite disappointed with Bohan Company that is managing our SOMA HOA. My concerns seem to be aligned with two other unsatisfactory Unilocal reviews. I wish Bart, the owner, would have reined his company in and made his staff more responsive and more responsible.
Rene was the worst manager I have ever had and thankfully she left the company. When I worked with her during the process where there was a heavy water damage that ruined my unit, she was not very helpful. I had to work things out by myself and work with insurance and contractors directly as it was easier than working with them through Rene. What a nightmare!
The new managers stepped in after Rene’s departure, and Bart promised me they would be terrrific. Unfortuantely, Bart was wrong, and new managers did a terrible job while managing my request to change the insurance so we could get easier refinancing. They have dropped the ball and did not keep me in the loop and did not seem to give a shit about me. I have asked our HOA board to look for another company, but HOA president is very weak and biased and incompetent as well.
I worked with Bart to make sure that his staff responds to my emails and calls within 24 business hours. In the past, they never responded or responded one week later even though it was a simple mail or a simple call. Bart then agreed with me that it would be 1 day turnaround, but I still see staff failing to respond within one business day. This is one of many examples.
Another horrific example is that when Bohan worked with FireSure to get all fire sprinklers inspected and cleaned, they promised to have one of agents there. I was there few minutes before the appointment started (9 am to 1 pm). I saw workers from FireSure there, but there was no one from Bohan or no one from HOA. After one hour, I let them in and asked what was going on. They said they were waiting for Bohan rep to come, but they never got a response or they did not get their phone calls responded. Because of me, they were able to start the work on the building and my units. As result, I lost my three hours. Bohan never thanked me for that or apologized to me for that and kept blaming on «external» stuff. This is definitely crazy!

Unfortunately this company would not have received even a half a point. Bohan no longer manages our property. It was left in such a mess that two years later the HOA is still trying to recover. Not keeping up with contract maintenance that expired by the time we needed it, fraternizing with HOA board members at the cost of protecting members at large, and general unprofessional conduct makes this agency hardly one you would gamble on putting your trust in.

I have been on the Board of Directors for a business condo association for a while, and have been working with Bohan Company. Rene is our contact person, and the owner Bart is great. Both are organized and knowledgeable, and are easy to reach and respond to issues. They even showed up at our meetings. If you have problems, they will work with you. Talk to them and you should be fine.

The Bohan Co has been the property manager almost 2 years for the SoMa building in which I own a condo. They have been great, responsive, and now our costs have come way down. Our manager is Rene, who is great to work with, a licensed property manager, she knows what to do. The boss, Bart, is extremely organized, provides regular financial statements, and practices transparency in operations.
