Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting from Nicholas Brusco experience a mix of positive and negative management aspects. Several appreciate his responsiveness and improvements, notably in smaller, quieter buildings with friendly neighbors and effective trash collection. However, pest control issues, especially mice, remain a recurring concern in some properties. Communication can be inconsistent, with some tenants frustrated by the lack of email responses and unexpected maintenance visits. Cleanliness and building upkeep vary widely, with some buildings described as poorly maintained and noisy. While some residents applaud rent affordability and location, complaints about noise from neighbors and inadequate management oversight suggest room for improvement in tenant relations and property care.

Great apartment to take care of yourself

Pros

Love my unit. Fantastic layout and closet space, amazing prewar details, super tall ceilings. Building is very quiet, hardly ever hear neighbors. Very few rodent or bugs. Trash collection very prompt. Really friendly building, only 10 units and neighbors all super nice. Management changed last year and was a HUGE improvement. Very responsive to requests. I had a gas leak and within a week I had a brand new stove, fully initiated by them. I didn’t even have to pester! Have been here 5 years and would love another 5

Cons

If you have medium-to-large furniture pieces they will not fit. Tried two different sofas and a loveseat, all rejected (finally found a modular option) Also note this is an old nyc building, so radiators do make noise. Not the outrageous metal on metal clanging I have experienced at other buildings, but significant sound. Does not bother me but could be an issue for light sleepers.

Advice to the owners

Appreciate the new online system and how responsive you are. Hallway and stairwells could definitely use a facelift, makes the building appear lower quality than it really is

Overall good experience

Pros

This building is in a great location and was a good first apartment in NYC.

Cons

We had a mice problem that the management company could not resolve by the time we moved out. Unsure if it's since been resolved.
