Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on Ephraim Landau-managed buildings, especially at 1745 East 12 Street, Brooklyn, reveals significant management challenges. Residents frequently report poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, and persistent maintenance problems, including unreliable heating and water pressure. Issues with pest control and building security, such as broken garage doors and package theft, are common. The building superintendent is often criticized for unprofessional behavior and lack of responsiveness, which negatively impacts tenant trust. While some amenities like elevators and laundry facilities are appreciated, tenants advise the landlord to improve communication, building upkeep, and security measures to enhance living conditions. Overall, tenant satisfaction with management responsiveness is low.

Decent Building but Creepy Super

Pros

The units are large and pretty good for noise control

Cons

The super was very creepy towards me (a woman in my twenties), and said some inappropriate things to me over text. Also, the bathtub consistently drained extremely slowly despite trying many methods to fix it. There was a roach problem when I first moved in but it cleared up within a few months with exterminator visits.
