Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of BUDDIES BRO LLC-managed buildings reveal a mix of strengths and challenges. Tenants often praise the promptness of owner responsiveness and the cleanliness and well-maintained garbage management of the buildings. Amenities such as in-unit laundry and gyms are appreciated. However, heating systems, particularly electric heating, are frequently criticized for inefficiency and high costs. Maintenance delays, poor construction quality leading to leaks, and occasional pest issues are recurring concerns. Additionally, some renters report unprofessional and unresponsive management communication, including issues with security deposit handling. Rent stability varies by building. Prospective tenants should be aware of these management and infrastructure nuances when considering these properties.

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
