Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants commonly praise Michael Brusco-managed buildings for their charm, good location, and generally responsive management. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere and friendly neighbors, alongside well-maintained hallways and pest control efforts. However, some concerns persist regarding occasional pest issues and outdated appliances. Laundry facilities are often lacking onsite, and some buildings face insulation or noise challenges. Garbage management is mostly effective though a few mention occasional odors. While most tenants feel management is attentive and quick to address problems, one building reviewer cited significant maintenance and sanitation lapses, urging better property management. Overall, Brusco's properties offer a pleasant living experience with room for infrastructure upgrades.

Reviews

Former tenant·7 months ago

Good experience overall

Pros

Very quiet, the building has charm and the location is amazing. Management are responsive and take care of the building.

Cons

No laundry in the building or nearby. Had a few pest issues over a number of years.

Advice to the owners

Better pest control, and add laundry to the building.

UWS Retro Gem

Pros

The building is old but well maintained. I love the retro hardware in the apartment and the wallpaper in the halls. They are good sized apartments and are more reasonably priced than most on the UWS that aren’t rent stabilized. They have been pretty responsive to me especially if there was a pressing issue. I have loved living here!

Cons

There are some roaches, but it’s to be expected in any NYC building. The exterminator comes once a month to spray the apartment. The only time I saw them in my unit was right when I first moved in because I overlapped with my old place and I wasn’t using the water. The landlord responded quickly with getting the issue fixed though.
