Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Thomas Forde reveal a mix of positive and concerning experiences. Many appreciate the cleanliness, quiet apartments, and friendly neighbors, with water pressure and heating generally satisfactory. Responsiveness from the landlord is seen as fairly prompt by some but inconsistent overall. Key issues include ongoing maintenance problems such as leaks and low water pressure, pest presence (notably roaches), security concerns due to non-secure entrances, loitering, and occasional drug-related activities. Rent stabilization is in place in some buildings. Tenants suggest more thorough repairs, better pest control scheduling, and enhanced security measures to improve livability.

1655 Union Street could be so much better

Pros

Quiet apartments, clean, friendly neighbors

Cons

on going leak in all top floor apartment ceilings, that have not been addressed adequately. water pressure low and averages at least five minutes before water becomes hot. exterminator scheduled to visit during the week between 10am - 1pm when no one is home. loitering in front of building all hours of day and night by non residents.
