Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on Joel Fried's buildings reveals a mixed management experience. Tenants appreciate the convenient locations, spacious layouts, and competitive pricing. However, consistent concerns include inadequate maintenance, sluggish or poor communication, pest problems, and subpar cleanliness and garbage management. Heating generally functions well, but water pressure and noise levels vary. Responsiveness from management is often described as slow or absent, and unannounced visits cause discomfort. While some tenants acknowledge management’s occasional responsiveness and efforts to address issues, others report significant neglect and unsatisfactory upkeep. Prospective renters should be prepared for variable management quality and ongoing maintenance challenges.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 month ago

Ok introduction to bedstuy

Pros

Great neighborhood, good light and layout, equal size rooms, laundry in basement

Cons

Poor appliances, frequent leaks and water stoppages, clearly does not receive maintenance/cleaning between tenants

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Pretty ok for Brooklyn

Pros

Building mgmt is very responsive and will correct their own mistakes when pointed out. Neighbors were nice. They are on top of any pest issues, decent price for the room sizes.

Cons

This isn't so much a con but just something to be aware of, they are very Jewish and take off all Jewish holidays so sometimes paperwork needs to be completed very early.
