Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant experiences with RONY KRAVEL's buildings show a stark contrast between locations. Several Brooklyn buildings in the Sterling Place area suffer from poor management, characterized by unresponsiveness, neglected repairs such as persistent leaks and heat outages, inefficient garbage handling, pest problems, and upkeep issues. Rent increases are often seen as disproportionate, leading to tenant dissatisfaction. However, the building at 801 Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn is noted for good maintenance, friendly neighbors, and a responsive super living on-site, despite occasional maintenance request delays. Overall, renters can expect management challenges in some buildings, while others offer a more stable and community-oriented living environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 hour ago

Terrible super, terrible management company, ongoing leak, bad bad bad

Pros

The building is in a good area, but that's about it.

Cons

It's just not a nice building, very old, clearly no one involved cares about maintaining it. There's cracks in the stairwells, trash management is awful, laundry machines are often broken. There's been a leak in my bathroom ceiling for at least 6 months, whenever it rains hard enough, and they've done nothing to fix it. They've ignored emails and calls, and now there's a big crack in my wall, obviously from water damage. The floor is sinking in one corner. Terrible building, worse management. Truly awful. The super blames the property manager, the property manager blames the super. They're both useless.

Advice to the owners

Sell the building, stop being landlords. Or, have a sense of empathy and idk maybe like pride in your work? Grow up and fix the problems.

Terrible management, great location

Pros

Great location Apartment has nice finishes (crown molding, updated kitchen, nice light) Affordable rent

Cons

Unresponsive super and management company Extended heat outages every winter for weeks Ceiling leaks / wet electrical appliance is unsafe Poor insulation, very drafty

Advice to the owners

Shame on you for not meeting basic needs of tenants, get a management company that cares
