Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by TOPAZ REALTY MANAGEMENT LLC points to inconsistent management across properties. While some locations offer good amenities like laundry, rooftop access, and spacious units, many suffer from poor cleanliness, pest infestations, and inadequate maintenance. Responding to tenant concerns, particularly about heating, pest control, and repairs, is often delayed or insufficient. Common complaints include unclean common areas, package theft, and thin walls leading to noise issues. Some supers are helpful, but others are unresponsive. Overall, management is perceived as profit-driven with slow issue resolution, leading to divided tenant approval and mixed recommendations.

Noisy, Young, Overpriced

Pros

Laundry in building. The Super is somewhat responsive to maintenance requests (although his attitude is pretty crappy). Great neighborhood. Shared rooftop with nice views. Overall safe building.

Cons

I think the median age in this building is around 24/25. It’s insane how young and inconsiderate a lot of residents are - and I’ve lived all over Brooklyn (and elsewhere) so I was shocked when I moved in here. Lots of parties and generally loud, immature neighbors. Apartments are small and walls are thin. Most apartments do not have great views or natural light. Some package thief problems and the Super will NOT help. Topaz Management is generally incompetent and I get the sense that the landlord is just another greedy tri-state dweller looking to squeeze whatever they can out of the building every year without thought to the residents. We’ve had mice and other apartments have had issues with other pests. Leaks were a huuuuge issue last year - some apartments had to go without their entire bathrooms for days on end without proper compensation. Absolutely a joke of a building for what they charge us. Edit: I had to update this because I can currently hear everything going on in the two units near me. Walls are PAPER THIN and everyone is LOUD.

Advice to the owners

Make sure apartments are properly and professionally cleaned and painted between tenants; the Super and his wife doing a half-ass job with Windex is not cutting it for the amount us residents are charged. Cut down on the rent if you’re not going to improve the building! I hate that people are so desperate to live in Williamsburg because, unfortunately, these mediocre apartments will keep being rented in a day to suckers who don’t know any better.

Horrible Management, Whole Building Falling Apart

Pros

Great location, nice rooftop.

Cons

We experienced just about everything living there for 2 years. We got out right before they got a bed bug infestation. They claim to have rent stabilized units, but removed them because of "major renovations." Every year multiple things go wrong with this housing. They have had huge leaks, the stairs are constantly disintegrating, packages are constantly stolen. We didn't have a working fridge for 2 weeks and they did not provide any solution. We had mice, roaches, you name it and we lived on the top floor. They do not care about tenants, and the whole building is a massive hazard. Tenants constantly call 311 about various issues, nothing happens. Even when we first moved in, there were paint buckets everywhere, pee in our toilet, paint splatters and beer bottles laying around. They recently switched supers but doesn't seem like that has resolved anything. We had broken windows that wouldn't fully close and would fly off the hinges for months.
