Fordham Realty Trust

If I could give Mrs. Kaufman and Fordham Realty Trust half a star, I would. Too bad the rating system on Unilocal does not allow me to do so.
I have had nothing but grief and stress with the apartment at 64 Brighton Ave. Within a few days of moving in, I had a holy trinity (mouse-​roach-​fly) infestation even though every month or so, they would supposedly exterminate the building. The mice live in the walls and crawl in through the heating pipe holes. Roaches scuttle through the gap between the door and the floor. My neighbors reported having sewage in their apartment — a problem which remained unsolved until they told the health inspectors. They moved out several weeks later, leaving behind their security deposit, in a desperate attempt to find better housing.
The super has a habit of drinking so Friday and Saturdays are not good times to call on him and his wife. Be wary of living below the super since I am told that you can hear them arguing constantly. If you have issues with the laundry, they cannot help you because Mrs. Kaufman doesn’t entrust them with the keys to the laundry machines. I lost quarters to a broken machine and was told that there was nothing the super could do. Power outages happen often and in the winter, there is little, if any, heat.
Appliances are never repaired or upgraded unless you can prove that it is really broken. Mrs. Kaufman does not answer the phones, does not have email and does not listen to her voicemail. It is best if you travel to downtown Boston in person if you want something done. Also, take note of when rent is paid since they have been known to «forget» that you paid and you will need to prove it to them in order to get your security deposit back.
Don’t live here if you can afford to get a better place — unless you enjoy being frustrated with a landlady and super who just don’t care.
