Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for SMGB BROOME LLC / DDCM BROOME properties reveals a mix of experiences, largely hinging on building condition and management responsiveness. While some tenants praise the historic charm and desirable locations, many highlight severe issues: poor heating, persistent pest infestations (notably cockroaches and rodents), and unreliable garbage management. Responsiveness varies but tends toward slow or inadequate, with several reports of maintenance delays and safety concerns like broken locks. A few renovated units and cleaner lobbies receive approval, but overall, tenants advise the landlord to prioritize pest control, timely repairs, and improved communication to enhance living conditions.

Reviews

Notorious Landlord of the LES (DNA info article)

Pros

Such a beautiful 1890-1920 building with wrought iron staircases and old tiled floors amidst such a beautiful neighborhood

Cons

Consistent no heat and hot water in winter. Rats in the trash. Reports of pests in other apartments. Leaks. These are old apartments that are lovely but have had only minor cosmetic renovations.

Advice to the owners

No advice. I am scared of them
