Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Joseph Forzano reveals a consistent theme of unresponsiveness and slow maintenance despite decent neighborhood locations. Renters appreciate proximity to local amenities and quiet surroundings but note cleanliness issues, pest problems, heating failures, and poor garbage management. The absence of a live-in super and reliance on unreliable contractors frustrate tenants, leading to prolonged unresolved repairs. While the landlord may be friendly, there is a clear need for more timely and effective attention to core building maintenance and tenant concerns to improve living conditions and tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

MIA landlord, great neighborhood

Pros

Amazing location right by the park in a great neighborhood. Rent never went up.

Cons

Landlord was unresponsive/SO slow to make essential repairs

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

You get what you pay for –– Cheap and poorly maintained apartment

Pros

The neighborhood is great! Really cute and close to lots of popular restaurants and bars. The best part is the proximity to Nighthawk and Prospect Park. Short walk to the subway. Cheap

Cons

Not clean, garbage piles up, always some new issue (water damage, floors, leaks, superficial wear). Apartments are narrow and have VERY little space. No live-in super. Landlord never hires companies just flakey "contractors." Landlord doesn't even live in Brooklyn.

Advice to the owners

Care about your tenants and respond when there are issues! Take pride in the building because the neighbors hate you.
