Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Rory Kurtz present a mixed picture. Many residents appreciate the friendly atmosphere and responsive management, noting clean and well-maintained common areas. However, significant concerns arise regarding building conditions, particularly with pest control, noise levels from the surrounding area, and occasional maintenance issues.

Overall, while there are strengths in community and management responsiveness, potential tenants should be cautious and fully aware of the building's shortcomings before committing.

hello my review

Pros

Cons

boardwalk in summer is extremely loud

Advice to the owners

its fine building and decent value. brighton avenue could seriously use more noise control.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Invasive, Outdated, and a Financial Scam. AVOID..

Pros

Cheap of you get there

Cons

Absolute scam. Do not waste your money. Despite an 800+ credit score and 6 figures income, no pets no kids, not drinking not smoking person, I was denied after 3 weeks of hoops. They are stuck in the past- they even sent someone to my home to "inspect" my living conditions, only to deny the application and pocket $1,350 in "fees".  The building is old and outdated, yet they charge you for every breath you take.

Advice to the owners

Buyers, stay away: you will never be able to sublet your unit with this hostile Board. They aren’t looking for residents; they are looking for high-qualified applicants to shake down for application fees. Avoid at all costs.
