Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by WILLIAM HARSH reveals significant management challenges. While some buildings have decent cleanliness and neighborly environments, many reviews cite poor responsiveness to urgent maintenance issues, especially heating failures and security concerns like broken locks and package theft. Though some amenities like elevators and in-unit washer/dryers are appreciated, recurring problems such as delayed repairs, insufficient heat, and low management communication overshadow these positives. Tenants highlight frequent staff turnover and suggest improvements in maintenance and management professionalism. Overall, expect poorly responsive management that struggles with timely problem resolution despite reasonably maintained public areas.

Terrible Management ruined Building

Pros

We love our unit and the location! East Williamsburg is awesome and you're near some good restaurants and cafes

Cons

The building is managed so poorly its almost shocking. On paper they do a good job keeping it clean and managing trash, but any actual issues spirals out of control. It takes forever to fix and management is not responsive. They will ignore emails and calls, even about emergency issues. They are shockingly rude and disrespectful to their tenants. Super is nice but he can't make management do their jobs better. We've had repeated issues (building wide not in just our unit) such as no hot water, no heat, water leaks, broken stairs, broken front door, so much package theft, and even two elevator fires! Never once have they taken an issue seriously! Also we had SUCH high electricity and gas bills and rent went up a lot each year. Not a compelling place to stay.

Nice Building with Horrible Management

Pros

Building is bright with big windows.

Cons

I have never had worse property management in my life. They are unresponsive - It will take dozens of emails and phone calls to get in contact with property management over extremely urgent maintenance issues. In the two years I lived, I had broken heat, no hot water, and a broken sink in my unit, all of which were very challenging to get fixed. The building elevator broke on 2 separate occasions by the motor CATCHING ON FIRE and both times a person was trapped and the fire department was called. We also have a serious issue with package thefts which management does not take seriously.
