Review summary

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.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

My home for 8 years

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 the owners

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

Advice to the owners

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