Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Brandon Hornbeck-managed buildings reveals a mix of experiences. Several residents note responsive and friendly management, especially appreciating timely owner communication and well-kept common areas. However, concerns surface over aging properties with maintenance delays, pest issues like persistent ants, and sporadic heating problems. Noise and privacy are disputed due to thin walls or building design. Rent increases and security deposit disputes also appear as pain points. While buildings vary from boutique brownstones to newer constructions, tenants generally recommend the locations for their neighborhoods and amenities, but urge management to improve upkeep, transparency, and tenant retention efforts.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 months ago

Boutique Brownstone, comfortable, but cheaply built

Pros

Clean, central heat/AC, spacious apartments, pretty responsive landlord

Cons

Very cheap renovation of large brownstone, paper-thin walls, lack of privacy both between neighbors and within apartment because of this. Very expensive, recent extreme rent gouging

Advice to the owners

Make an effort to retain good tenants

Former tenant·10 months ago

Old Building, Not Well Maintained

Pros

Good neighborhood, super is responsive, beautiful pre-war units.

Cons

Very old and not well maintained - major plumbing issues, heat has gone out for several days in a row in the middle of winter (only repaired when all tenants complained and we called a repairman ourselves), price of units increase significantly while building falls apart, electricity is not properly set up by unit.
