Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Max Buri present a mixed picture. While several tenants appreciate the convenient locations near the botanical gardens, renovated apartments, and responsive superintendents, persistent issues like roach and occasional mice infestations recur. Management responsiveness varies widely, with some praising timely responses and others citing unresponsiveness to maintenance and pest problems. Noise levels are generally moderate to quiet, but complaints about construction noise and problematic neighbors exist. Package theft and maintenance delays are common concerns, alongside frustration over rent hikes and incomplete renovations. Overall, renters should expect well-located but sometimes imperfectly managed properties with a pressing need for improved pest control and owner attentiveness.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Cockroach infestation, unresponsive management, temperamental heat this winter

Pros

The building’s location is nice. I love being across from the botanical gardens. I used to live a few blocks down and wanted to come back to this neighborhood.

Cons

Oh, you name it. The landlord is unresponsive. Spending over 4K on an apartment COVERED in cockroaches that no one is taking care of the way you need to, management company does absolutely nothing but take your rent. I have 311 on speed dial because of this place. In the winter, the heat was always out. First few months living here there was a NYHA meeting because of all the complaints they were getting. Steer clear.
