Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Reviews of buildings managed by Birchwood Properties LLC reveal a mixed and often problematic management record. Tenants frequently report poor responsiveness from the landlord and management, with delayed or ignored maintenance and communication issues being common complaints. Pest control and heating are recurring concerns, while cleanliness and garbage management vary widely across buildings. Some residents note building safety issues and questionable rent practices, including large rent hikes and confusion over rent stabilization status. While location and neighbor relations are generally seen as positive, many renters caution about outdated infrastructure and unprofessional owner behavior, signaling that tenants should prepare for management challenges and inconsistencies.

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
