Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting from Errol Mentore report consistently poor building management across multiple Brooklyn properties. Common issues include inadequate cleanliness, ineffective garbage disposal, faulty heating often left off in winter, pest infestations, and unaddressed repairs. Communication with management and responsiveness from the landlord are described as extremely slow or non-existent, causing frustration. Security deposits reportedly are often withheld or delayed without explanation. While some neighborhoods are convenient and neighbors friendly, these benefits are overshadowed by safety concerns, building disrepair, and lack of trust in management. Prospective renters should expect ongoing maintenance issues and limited landlord accountability.

Not well maintained

Pros

The neighborhood is good, some crazy neighbors who are always on their front stoops.

Cons

Building is poorly managed, badly in need of repairs, backyard is overrun with Japanese knotweed, carpenter bees galore, and no super for even basic things like trash management. They put sneaky things in the lease like you have to haul garbage.

Warning: Renter Beware

Pros

The location could not be better. Quick walk to AC Nostrand stop; quick walk to the C Kingston-Throop stop. Great coffee shops, sandwich shops, bars, and Herbert von King Park are all within walking distance.

Cons

The building may be on a lovely block but inside it is falling apart. Shoddy window screens on windows that don't latch properly. There is one mailbox for the whole building. The two front doors don't lock which is a huge security issue. Apartment doors themselves are not fireproof; they are made of wood, like a bedroom door, and do not have strong locks. The owner doesn't turn the heat on in a timely manner when it is cold. There is an ongoing pest infestation problem that has never been addressed despite the issue being raised by multiple tenants. It took one carbon monoxide leak for the owner to install CO2 detectors and smoke detectors in the units and main egress areas. No monthly exterminator service. No one from the management comes to clean the building's main egress areas.

Advice to the owners

The building needs to be completely gut renovated. The landlord needs to put their tenants' needs first and to vastly improve response time. The landlord also needs to pay national grid on time so tenants aren't receiving notices that the heat/gas will be turned off due to late payments.
