Brighton Realty

The apartments at 48 Brighton Ave are typical College level apartments. They are overpriced, and the Landlord is not responsive to tenants issues. Also, kiss your Security deposit away immediately after you give it to them. They charge flat rates for clearning, trash, paint regardless of whether you leave the apt clean and neat. more

The actions of this realty group suggest they have zero interest in the tenant's safety, satisfaction, or even existence, as long as that check comes in. They don't respond to calls or emails, my residence was unlivable when I first moved in, CO2 sensors go off all the time, with no response from Brighton managment, and there are literally holes in the walls of the unit. Through-holes. My recommendation would be to avoid the risk of their ""services"" and go elsewhere. more

In order of events - lost hot water for a week this winter. Had to call Boston Mayor's office to get THEM to send an inspector out, because Brighton Realty people are never in the office and their phone number and email doesn't work. CO2 alarms went off, so Boston Fire Department shut off our heat for the night to stop the flow so we wouldn't DIE IN OUR SLEEP. The BPD Chief was irate because most of the CO2 and fire alarms in the building/apartments were not working and didn't have batteries. This week, they're installing fire water sprinklers in our apartment, probably at the mandate of Boston -- why didn't we have these before? Finest safety measures! Lastly, they never plow the snow from the parking spots beside the apartment, even on weekdays when the spots are empty and can be plowed. Oh, and the dryers constantly break down and generally require two full dries to fully dry clothes (so plan on spending double on your laundry). The mail in my mailbox is almost always ripped open. Unsafe, overpriced, and DIRTY. more
