Property management in East Boston, MA
Copper Bottom manages property in East Boston today and takes on new rental owners and condominium boards across the neighborhood. East Boston has changed faster than anywhere else we work: triple-deckers at Eagle Hill, Maverick and Orient Heights are being renovated and converted, the waterfront at Jeffries Point and along Border Street is lined with new condo buildings, and rents have followed the Blue Line. Owners here deal with Boston's annual rental registration on top of the state rules, and many of them live somewhere else.

Condo association management →What managing property in East Boston actually involves
East Boston's housing is mostly wood-frame two to six unit buildings on Eagle Hill, around Central and Maverick Squares, in Orient Heights and along Bennington and Saratoga Streets, plus newer condominium buildings on the waterfront at Jeffries Point, Clippership Wharf and Border Street. Condo conversions of triple-deckers have created hundreds of three to six unit associations that are run by their owners and rarely have a budget, a reserve or a 6(d) process ready when a unit sells. The neighborhood's tenants are heavily Spanish-speaking, with long-established Salvadoran, Colombian and other Latin American communities alongside newer arrivals.
East Boston is part of the City of Boston, so its rental housing falls under Boston's rental registration ordinance: owners of private rental units register them with the Inspectional Services Department each year and renew by the city's annual deadline, and Boston runs an inspection program for registered units. We register and renew every Boston unit we manage and keep the certificates with the building's records. City services for the neighborhood run through Boston City Hall and ISD at 1010 Massachusetts Avenue; the East Boston neighborhood office and the Blue Line stations at Maverick, Airport, Wood Island and Orient Heights shape the rental map.

Switching managers, or done doing it yourself?

East Boston questions
Do you handle Boston's rental registration for East Boston units?
Yes. We register every rental unit we manage with Boston Inspectional Services, handle the annual renewal and keep the paperwork with the building's file.
Our Jeffries Point condo building has five units and no manager. Can you help?
Our association management is built for six units and up, but small self-managed buildings often need help with the books and 6(d) certificates when a unit sells. Call us and we will tell you honestly what makes sense.
Do you manage buildings in Orient Heights and Eagle Hill?
Yes. We manage rental buildings of three units and up and condo associations anywhere in East Boston.
