Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Frank Brusco reveal consistent issues with cleanliness, pest control, and heating. Many residents report rat and bed bug infestations and insufficient heating, sometimes with only one radiator per unit, causing discomfort. Garbage management and overall maintenance are often described as below expectations, and responsiveness from management is frequently seen as slow or lacking. However, the location is praised for convenience and accessibility. Some tenants appreciate quick replies from the super but recommend improvements in pest control, lobby upkeep, and heating systems. Overall, tenants suggest significant management enhancements to address long-standing problems in these aging buildings.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Avoid living in this nightmare building

Pros

Accesible transportation, centric and beautiful area.

Cons

Rat-infested, management had an attitude, no heating, an old kitchen, the moldings were collapsing, so was the staircase to the actual building and the manager and his workers sexually harassed women. Not even mentioning the fact, that the real estate agent was rude and condescending.

Advice to the owners

Don't be a slum lord

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good location poor management

Pros

A good location, nice layout and light in one bedroom

Cons

Unresponsive management and super, dealt with multiple bed bug issues. Unit was not properly heated and the problem was never resolved. As low as 53 degrees at night as there was only one heater in a back bedroom for a 2 bedroom apartment.
