Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for SHIMRIT EZRA's Brooklyn properties presents a mixed picture. Some buildings showcase well-maintained units in desirable neighborhoods, with highlights like renovated apartments, included appliances, and quiet surroundings. However, multiple reviews cite issues with management responsiveness, often describing communication as slow or unhelpful. Recurring concerns include pest control problems, poor garbage management attracting rodents, unexpected fees, high rents, and security flaws such as malfunctioning doors. Maintenance inconsistencies, especially with heating, water pressure, and laundry facilities, also emerge. Overall, renters can expect a building with potential but should be mindful of management's uneven attentiveness and building upkeep challenges.

too expensive for what you get.

Pros

The building was well-maintained and units were clean. Wonderful neighborhood.

Cons

Many hidden fees, high pet-rent required. Our rent unexpectedly went up for the next year by hundreds of dollars and management would not negotiate a lower rent. Difficult and unclear communication with management. Complex lease with multiple riders (including cleaning fees taken out of security deposit). At one point during my tenancy, the front door malfunctioned, locking tenants inside for several hours. This was a fire hazard.

Horrible place to live

Pros

Cheap rent, that’s it.

Cons

Had to file with bk attorney general to get my security deposit back. Lived there 2 yrs and they were awful. Definitely turned a 1 bed into 3 with plasterboard walls so you heard everything. I lived there 2016-2018 and this past year (2024) was getting phone calls and texts for whoever currently lives there. 8 years later and they’re still disorganized.
