Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Richard Blanchette reflects strong praise for cleanliness, garbage management, and responsive staff who address issues timely. Tenants appreciate well-maintained amenities like pools and saunas, alongside good neighbor relations. However, some concerns include noise from nearby streets and imperfect insulation, leading to temperature control challenges. The application process at some buildings may feel prolonged due to board approvals. Despite occasional drawbacks related to location and building age, renters generally find these properties safe, well-kept, and supported by proactive management, making them desirable living options in Brooklyn.

Reviews

Former tenant·14 hours ago

Well managed building

Pros

Has a sauna and pool, pretty good with garbage and package management

Cons

Building is getting older and surrounding neighborhood is not the best

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Love for the Oro

Pros

I loved the location and staff. Problems were fixed promptly and management was very communicative when it came to building matters.

Cons

Application process felt excruciatingly long and tedious because the building has a board of directors who has to approve whether or not you’re fit to live at the Oro. Although the building does have a basketball court and pool, I feel like the gym itself feels a little depressing and small.
