A Message from the President
This is our 20th year of business at Wentworth, and we are very excited about our new commitment to training. Toward that end, we are currently developing three state of the art training facilities in New York, New Jersey and Virginia, where our employees and clients will be able to get hands-on training in physical plant, financial and legislative issues affecting building management.
We are also very excited about our recent organizational changes. In our continual effort to better serve our clients, we have now organized our company along specialty lines. Our five specialty teams include:
-
High-Rise Specialty Team
-
Active Adult Specialty Team
-
Home Builder Specialty Team
-
Mitchell Lama Specialty Team - New York
-
Condo / HOA Specialty Team
High-Rise Specialty Team
Wentworth currently manages over 200 high-rises in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. High-rises require a unique knowledge of physical plant, personnel management, inventory control and preventative maintenance. Wentworth's un-matched experience in this specialty field makes it the unquestionable leader in high-rise management in the mid-Atlantic region.
Active Adult Specialty Team
Wentworth's Active Adult Specialty Team is led by Ed Corless, Regional Vice President. Wentworth currently manages over 45 active adult communities in the mid-Atlantic region. Ed's team has unique knowledge in active adult management such as providing activity directors, UCIOA / HOPA, gatehouse procedures, Bingo and other games of chance, and Adult Protective Services.

James Magid, Regional Vice President, leads the Home Builder Specialty Team. Wentworth currently works with over a dozen of the largest regional and national builders. Wentworth has created this specialty team to better serve the unique demands required in a new home development including budget development and consulting, closing assistance and new homeowner welcome packages, transition consulting, and marketing assistance.
Mitchell Lama Specialty Team
This Specialty Team was created to service the unique demands required by Mitchell Lama Housing in New York City. Donna Manton, Director of Mitchell Lama Housing, leads this Specialty Team. Wentworth is the largest Mitchell Lama Housing manager in New York City and the leader in this very technically demanding field. We have long-term professional relationships with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR).

In addition to our development of specialty teams, Wentworth continues to invest in new technology to better serve our clients. WentworthConnect ™ is a proprietary web based management system that enables us to provide services to our clients that are unmatched in the industry. It is truly revolutionary to Association / Cooperative management and is only available to Wentworth clients. For example, our system allows us to:

-

Celebrating 20 years
Wentworth is very proud to be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of our company.
We never could have achieved this goal without the support and commitment of many people. In the beginning, we started with a few customers and employees that joined Wentworth because they had confidence in our ability and vision to provide quality service. They knew of our previous experience in the industry as well as our core philosophy: "to do whatever it takes to keep our clients happy." They were willing to give us a chance and many of those clients and our first employees are still with us today.
During these eighteen years, we have grown to become the largest, most successful property management company on the East Coast. Because of that commitment and philosophy, which we still live by today, we are now embarking on a new era for Wentworth. Each day we are doing more to utilize new technologies and tools that will enable us to communicate even more effectively and provide an ever-improving level of service and information to our customers.
The President of Wentworth Property Management Corporation and Wentworth Property Management of New Jersey, Inc. is Michael Mendillo. Joining Michael are Jonathan Klein and Steven Hyatt in Brooklyn, Jim Armstrong and Wayne McCreedy in Virginia, and David Kuperberg, Tal Eyal and Dan Wurtzel in Manhattan.
