Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Ephraim Landau's Brooklyn properties is mixed but highlights some clear trends. Buildings often feature charming, spacious apartments in convenient locations with generally respectful neighbors. Management and the live-in supers receive praise for their helpfulness and responsiveness, yet there are frequent complaints about pest infestations, especially roaches, and some buildings struggle with cleanliness and maintenance issues like heating and water pressure. Garbage management varies, sometimes contributing to pest problems. Several reviews mention slow owner responsiveness to repairs and concerns about security and building superintendent behavior. While some tenants recommend these buildings for their community feel and amenities, others advise management to address pest control, maintenance speed, and better tenant communication.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

8831 Ft Ham

Pros

Early 20th Century Charm and large rooms.

Cons

NYC manners in residents who are not Brooklyn bred.

Advice to the owners

Fix things that are inoperative quicker. Taking days to fix is inconsiderate.

Fine for a starter apt

Pros

Lovely handyman volunteer lives in the building

Cons

Roaches, neighbors have been in the building forever and not that friendly
