Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by BIRCHWOOD PROPERTIES LLC reveal a mixed experience with a trend toward management issues. While locations and some apartments receive praise for size and light, many report persistent problems with unresponsiveness, especially regarding heating, pest control, and urgent repairs. Garbage management and cleanliness vary significantly among properties, with some buildings suffering from debris and odors, and inefficient communication further frustrating residents. Rent increases without corresponding improvements and questionable handling of rent-stabilized units are key concerns. Tenants appreciate friendly supers but often find management difficult or hostile to engage with, advising more transparency, responsiveness, and investment in upkeep.

beware new owners

Pros

this has been such a lovely place to live (with its downsides for sure) until new management recently took over

Cons

the new landlords fired our super of 10 years, got rid of our front door keypad with no warning, let trash pile up until it spills into the halls, stopped sending regular pest control, are unresponsive and hostile to tenants, and are now trying to increase rent exponentially. definitely check building rental history because they’re listing apartments with made up unit numbers so that you can’t see the apartment was listed previously for 50% less. this landlord has a terrible reputation so just beware, i think it will only get worse.

Advice to the owners

be decent people

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

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
