    Review Summary for 50 Horatio Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 50 Horatio Street highlight a prime location with good kitchen amenities. However, issues arise with small, poorly managed bedrooms and smoke odors from the bar below. Concerns about heating, unresponsive management, and challenges in reaching the owners are recurrent. Some tenants face difficulties with rent-stabilized units and communication gaps. Despite friendly neighbors and spacious units, the building's management is under scrutiny for inadequate responses to maintenance requests and security concerns. Suggestions include better upkeep, addressing odor concerns, and enhancing owner accountability. While the location is praised, there are notable gaps in management effectiveness.

    Slumlords somehow getting away with it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, great kitchen
    Cons:
    Closet sized bedrooms, bathroom and living area; Cigar smoke from the bar below permeates the entire building and everything we own; Spent winter 2020-2021 without heat; Management refused to address building security concerns after a break-in with theft; Owners/management impossible to reach by phone, no response to emails;

    Extremely questionable handling of rent-stabilized units (entire building was rent-stabilized just a few years ago, now only units with 10 year+ residents still stabilized; no investment in building renovation, only
    individual units with very minimal improvements that clearly did not cost enough to achieve deregulated status); Failed to notify me of the unit’s rent-stabilized status in the lease agreement as required by law; Lawyers determined my unit was illegally rented out to me at market value for $3350 as the documented rent history of the unit shows it was registered as and leased rent-stabilized by the tenant before me, with the most recent monthly rent rate being roughly $780 - a 430% increase.

    Mngt, building a nightmare
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location, new super is an improvement
    Cons:
    Barely passable. Chronic building issues, unresponsive management - it’s a fight to get any relief. Repairs delayed weeks or months, or ignored altogether.
    Advice to owner:
    Communication !!!!
