Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Bernard Schwimmer reveal mixed management experiences. Many residents appreciate the cleanliness, decent heat, and quiet neighborly atmosphere in several buildings, especially at 816 Prospect Place. Laundry amenities and good water pressure are often noted as positives. However, consistent concerns include poor owner responsiveness, slow or inadequate maintenance, and pest problems (notably mice and roaches) that are not effectively addressed. Some buildings suffer from noise issues and occasional flooding. Rent increases without corresponding improvements also frustrate tenants. Overall, while some tenants recommend the buildings for location and amenities, management responsiveness and building upkeep require significant improvement.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Good Apartments in Crown Heights

Pros

Really enjoyed washer and dryer in building, great neighbors. Had very limited pests, some roaches here and there but could be dealt with with sprays. No mice.

Cons

Management not very responsive for repairs

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

great building, unresponsive landlord

Pros

pretty clean, very quiet, no pest problems except for the first week we moved in (1 roach lol)

Cons

landlord david does not respond to any messages or calls, ticket submissions go weeks without being responded to

Advice to the owners

when people submit tickets, at least reply letting them know that you’ve seen it
