Review Summary for Bruce Walker

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Bruce Walker reveal a mixed experience. Positive comments highlight some buildings' cleanliness, friendly neighbors, and occasional timely responses from management. However, many renters express frustration over inconsistent and slow owner responsiveness, inadequate maintenance, poor garbage management, and pest issues. Heating and water pressure vary widely by building, with some units lacking sufficient heat. Several tenants urge for better upkeep, renovations, and more attentive management, criticizing neglect especially in older buildings. While some recommend living there due to community or location, overall, expect sluggish management and maintenance challenges across properties.

My home for 8 years

Former Tenant

Pros:

I love my room have a lot natural lights!! I can watch the sunrise !

Cons:

The owner is irresponsible and the building is old and they never fix anything in the building. I've been asking to fix the ceiling and change the old fridge and they never reply.

Advice to owner:

You should listen to your tenant's requests and with all the money that you get every single month, you should start remodeling the building!! Thanks

Over 4 years ago

Building has only 10 units

Pros:

Most tenants have lived there long

Management has never done anything to upgrade the building or apts

Advice to owner:

Don’t be a slumlord. Provide sufficient heat and upgrade appliances

Over 4 years ago

Former Tenant

Pros:

The people who live in the building are very friendly.

Cons:

It can get very noisy outside on warm days.

Respond a little faster when it comes to complaints inside homes.

Building takes forever to do repairs

Former Tenant

Pros:

It’s close to public transportation

Cons:

Management is lazy
Super is lazy
Some of the tenants are drug addicts
Building isn’t cleaned every day more like 1 every 4 months

Advice to owner:

Why own a building , and not properly maintain it . Just because it’s a poor neighborhood should not justify why it’s neglected.
