Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by VANBUR ESTATES LLC at 107 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, reveal significant management challenges. Tenants report serious issues with cleanliness, garbage disposal, and pest control, often describing the hallways as filthy and infested. Noise levels are commonly high due to thin walls and disruptive neighbors, while security concerns arise from unreliable door controls and unauthorized entry. Heating and water pressure are inconsistent, and residents express frustration with owner unresponsiveness, delayed rent processing, and withheld deposits. Overall, the management appears neglectful and dismissive of tenant concerns, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and many advising against renting in these properties.

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

noisy unclean building

Pros

liked our unit, size was good, living room was bigger than anywhere ive lived before in nyc

Cons

loud neighbors, strangers being let in and out of the building constantly, once had a homeless person sleeping in the hallway, we had an infestation of 5 mice all within one week and saw multiple roaches throughout the year. landlord often would not process our rent checks for months at a time

Advice to the owners

take peoples rent checks on time, fix your front door for more security, and stop using URINAL CAKES to "freshen up" the smell of your dirty hallways instead of actually cleaning.

Former tenant·5 months ago

Horrible building. Abraham Schwartz is a crook and will trick you.

Pros

In-unit washer drier. Location.

Cons

Abraham Schwartz is withholding our security deposit and is a total crook. The building is filthy outside of the unit, and the walls are thin, so the people living there play music loudly to drown each other out. The building is constantly smoky and smoke comes up out of the radiator. The landlord ignored our concerns.

Advice to the owners

Treat your tenants and building with even a morsel of respect.
