Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Barry Hers reveal a mixed experience. Some buildings offer spacious, well-lit apartments with friendly neighbors and functional heating and water pressure. However, many tenants report severe issues such as pest infestations (roaches, mice, bedbugs), poor cleanliness, trash accumulation, and broken security features leading to frequent package thefts. Noise and problematic neighbors are common complaints as well. Management responsiveness is often described as slow or neglectful, with maintenance delays and unresolved building-wide problems like leaks and heating malfunctions. While a few appreciate the building layout and affordable rent, most advise caution, citing neglect and safety concerns under current management.
