Review summary

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

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

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.

Renter Q&A

How was the building overall? Was it clean and decently well lit?

Over 1 year ago

No, the halls are usually dirty but I'd say they're lit enough. At night they often smell like smoke because of the cigar bar on the ground floor.

What did you do for heat?

Over 1 year ago

I lived in apt 17 for the last 2 years - I had a tiny space heater that would follow me into every room and sit right next to me from December through March. It was a beautiful and charming apartment but the management company was a disaster. I recently called to put someone in touch for a lease takeover and the person they gave me lives in miami and had never seen my unit, but quoted her above 4k for a space I had paid half of that for. he had mistaken it for a different unit but she was so put off by his demeanor that she found another (nicer) apartment. Meanwhile, we just got a notice that they are in debt to con-ed (~$6k) and common area spaces will no longer be serviced. It is truly egregious lol
