Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight dissatisfaction with the building's cleanliness, garbage management, and responsiveness of the management team. Issues such as pest control, poor communication, and delayed maintenance are commonly reported. Pros include the location, neighborhood amenities, and water pressure. However, concerns about frequent rent increases, package theft, and inadequate upkeep persist. Suggestions include improving pest control, addressing communication gaps, and implementing better security measures. Overall, while the area and certain aspects of the building are appreciated, there is room for significant improvement in management and maintenance practices to offer a more satisfactory living experience.

Would never live in a property managed by this company again.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Their broker was respectful when showing my apartment to potential tenants.
They gave me my full security deposit back.
Excellent water pressure.
They gave me my full security deposit back.
Excellent water pressure.
Cons:
First, note that the management company changes its name every couple of years to get away from the bad press. Was Mcnam when I moved in. Then changed to Freestone. Now it’s “Novo Living”. All the same people. All owned by Greenbrook. Very sketchy and dishonest.
Now to the actual cons: Fixes were just temporary patches (e.g. fixing a leaking ceiling by literally just replacing the drywall). The landlord tries to squeeze you with obviously-above-market rent increases. (For me they asked for +15%. I spent a half hour on the phone with them trying to explain that no other similar apartments in the neighborhood are priced near that. They agreed to come down to +14%. I moved into a nearby building. They listed the apartment at +3% and it’s been sitting for over a month).
Trash management is horrible and spends more time overflowing than not. Had mice and giant roaches that were only effectively managed by my own efforts (mouse traps and roach baits). Had to worry about flooding every time it rained hard. Neighbors stole many packages from mail room. Basement area was way too hot all winter long. Washing machine would be broken for weeks on end waiting for the super to look at it. The super in general was very unreliable. The photos on the StreetEasy listings are comically over-photoshopped.
If you want to know what kind of company you’re dealing with just look at the listing history on street easy. Very few tenants stay more than one year. None stay more than two.

Advice to owner:
Do the city a favor and sell the building.

Private equity nightmare
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location but that’s it
Cons:
Full of mice. Upstairs units very hot. Windows too small for an ac unit. It was regular shitty until that private equity firm bought it. Now it is extra shitty.
Advice to owner:
Sell it to someone normal and leave everyone alone
