Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by BIRCHWOOD PROPERTIES LLC reveal a mixed tenant experience. While locations are often praised for convenience and apartments offer decent space and natural light, management responsiveness is consistently criticized as slow or uncommunicative. Maintenance issues like heating, pest control, and building safety are recurring problems, with many tenants reporting unresolved repairs and poor upkeep. Garbage management and cleanliness vary widely across properties. Noise disturbances and outdated facilities, including common areas, are also mentioned. Despite some positive interactions with supers, overall, renters advise significant improvements in communication, timely maintenance, and building investment to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Classic Building that’s okay to live in

Pros

Great Location and manageable rent

Cons

The stairs are very steep and old; there clearly is not very regular upkeep on them. It can be loud if street facing because of sirens

Advice to the owners

Do not be assholes when rent negotiations come up

Former tenant·2 months ago

Overpriced and gross

Pros

Great location and great kitchen

Cons

Disgusting air shaft apartment. Can hear the rats fighting all night
