Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for Barry Hers’ buildings reveal persistent issues with cleanliness and maintenance, including frequent pest infestations (cockroaches, rodents, bedbugs), poor garbage management, and unresolved leaks or mold problems. Many commenters note security lapses, such as broken front door locks leading to package theft and unauthorized access. Heating is often inconsistent—either excessively hot or insufficient—and noise disturbances are common, exacerbated by thin walls and poorly managed neighbors. While some find units spacious and appreciate aspects like rent stabilization or proximity to amenities, the overall sentiment points to neglectful management, slow responsiveness, and inadequate upkeep that undermine tenant safety and quality of life.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Mixed bag, be prepared!

Pros

Rent stabilized, aspects of the neighborhood (so many grocery stores!), the layout and closet space is amazing

Cons

The walls are super thin, some issues within the building (people smoking in the lobby, the buzzer in the apt didn’t work, less than responsive mgt, packages get stolen)

Advice to the owners

Better insulation, faster maintenance, the super needs to address some of the tenant behavior

Building Sucks but the Apartment is Cute

Pros

Our apartment has plenty of closets.

Cons

Our packages constantly got stolen because people would jam the front door open. They would shut off the hot water without warning. You have to exit the building and go around the side to do laundry and the ground isn’t even so there’s often puddles and planks of wood in the puddles to use to step over rather than just fixing the uneven ground. We complained about water leaking into our windows and water damage on the ceiling since we moved in and there still hasn’t been fixed after two years.

Advice to the owners

Get a lock put in that isn’t so easily broken and jammed. And distribute tap cards to all the residents so they can access the building when the keys aren’t working.
