Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Leroy Forde reveals a pattern of inconsistent management quality. While some buildings are praised for their great locations, friendly neighbors, and good apartment sizes, many reviews point to serious issues such as poor pest control, especially roach and rodent problems, and slow or ineffective owner responsiveness. Garbage management and cleanliness vary significantly, with some reports describing neglected hallways and theft concerns. Heating and water pressure issues are also recurrent themes. Tenants often highlight the need for better communication, timely maintenance, and security improvements, suggesting management's attention and follow-through are lacking overall.

Reviews

Very unreliable management

Pros

It is a great location

Cons

Unreliable management. Roaches. Rats in walls. Lots of apartments have severe leaks. Have had hot water issues and heat issues. Packages get stolen.

Former tenant·9 hours ago

1655 Union Street could be so much better

Pros

Quiet apartments, clean, friendly neighbors

Cons

on going leak in all top floor apartment ceilings, that have not been addressed adequately. water pressure low and averages at least five minutes before water becomes hot. exterminator scheduled to visit during the week between 10am - 1pm when no one is home. loitering in front of building all hours of day and night by non residents.

Advice to the owners

The entire roof needs to be repaired completely not piece meal. water pressure needs to be addressed. schedule exterminator for weekends. address loitering by non-residents.
