Review Summary for Barry Brown

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews indicate buildings managed by Barry Brown suffer from significant pest control issues, including bug infestations and bed bugs. There are concerns about unresponsive management, noisy neighbors, and inadequate cleanliness standards, affecting the overall living experience. Despite some positive aspects like hot water availability and pantry space, the prevalent pest problems lead to a lack of recommendation for staying in these buildings. Rent stabilization status varies across properties. Improvement in pest control measures, tenant screening, and maintenance responsiveness is essential to enhance the living conditions and tenant satisfaction.

Can’t wait to move

Former Tenant

Pros:

I have a pantry in my kitchen, the building is on the concourse, it’s in between the D and 4 trains, and the apt is big for a NYC apartment

Cons:

The pest problem is RIDICULOUS. And they barely do anything to stop it. That’s the main reason I want to move ASAP.
