Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Augustine Fortune reveals a pattern of sizable, well-located apartments often appreciated for their spaciousness and rent stabilization. However, management responsiveness is consistently criticized as slow or unprofessional, leading to frustrations over unresolved heating issues, pest infestations, and maintenance delays. While neighbors tend to be rated positively and noise levels are moderate, residents are frequently concerned with cleanliness and garbage management. Persistent problems include poor pest control and heating system reliability, with calls for improved management communication and professional upkeep. Tenants advise upgrading management quality to enhance living conditions despite the buildings' desirable features.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Roaches, bad management

Pros

Big units, great location

Cons

Roaches everywhere, negligent management, heat did not work and was so loud

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Nice pre war apartments with incompetent management company

Pros

My apartment is spacious, lots of natural light and great layout. The furnishings are older but generally work fine.

Cons

The issue is when something does go wrong it takes the management comapny forever to do anything and acts extremely unprofessional.

Advice to the owners

Get a new management company, invest in another handyman or get professionals to do some required updates.
