Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight buildings owned by Buddies Bro LLC as having varied experiences. While some tenants appreciate the cleanliness and amenities like in-unit laundry and gym facilities, others have raised concerns about unresponsive management, poor construction quality leading to maintenance issues, and disrespectful communication. Issues with heating, water pressure, and unexpected high utility costs have also been noted. Tenants recommend improvements in communication, maintenance quality, and transparency regarding fees. Renters suggest being well-informed of their rights due to potential disputes over deposits and violations of laws.

Convenient Amenities, Hidden Costs

Pros

• The building is clean and well-maintained. • In-unit dishwasher and laundry facilities are very convenient.

Cons

• Although the unit faces south, a nearby luxury building blocks most of the sunlight. • Heating is electric via the AC system, which makes the apartment cold in winter. • Hot water runs out quickly since it’s electrically heated. • Electricity bills can reach around $1,000 per month during colder seasons, making overall living costs very high.

Advice to the owners

Please improve the heating and hot water system, and consider being more transparent about utility costs
