Review Summary for Fordham Bedford Housing Corp

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenant feedback for FORDHAM BEDFORD HOUSING CORP properties reveals significant management shortcomings. Many tenants report poor building maintenance with persistent cleanliness, pest control, and security issues. There are frequent complaints about broken elevators, malfunctioning intercoms, and unsecured entrances. Heating systems are often inadequate, and repairs are slow or incomplete, causing frustration. Superintendents are sometimes described as ineffective or unprofessional. While a few buildings show improvement with helpful staff and renovations, the overall impression is of unresponsive management that neglects tenants' concerns. Prospective renters should expect inconsistent upkeep and communication challenges with this landlord.

Better Communication

Former Tenant

Pros:

My neighbors we all get along and I would like to think that we look out for each other.

Cons:

It takes them so long to fix things.

Advice to owner:

I think surveys would really be a great thing for the buildings because you get to know how the building is running and what Apartments needs to be repairs..You get to see what jobs are not being done or incomplete jobs.Supers should also be part of the Surveys along with management.

Roaches and rats sometimes the water pressure is bad when the pump is open in the streets, they give too much heat that I have to use an air conditioner in the winter time. Roaches never want to leave my apt. The building is infested.
