Joseph Bruno Central Realty

Ended up working with Joe after finding a listing on Craigslist; he showed me 3 apartments in the same neighborhood (Ridgewood) in one night, and I moved on one of them that was being worked on when I saw it but is now lovely. He’s professional, responsive, and facilitated the process with my new landlord. From seeing the apartments to moving in was less than two weeks. Recommended if you’re looking for an apartment in the Ridgewood/​Glendale area.

Update: So the landlord of the apartment I ended up moving into by the suggestion of Joe, ended up being a tad bit paranoid and crazy. I was in an unfortunate roommate/​partner situation where she was not paying her rent, and I constantly kept the landlord up to date. The landlord even saw the cops coming to our apartment. The landlord was super angry all the time with his wife, and refused to listen to reason. He told me I needed to move out, within the first month of living their due to my roommates actions. He was VERY paranoid, and always on edge and I could never go to him about problems with the apartment. He even said I was wasting tax dollars by calling the cops on my abusive roommate and that she will quote «kill me». Let’s just say I had to break the lease and move across the country. I got a call from Joe asking what was going on, as if he was talking to a child, I told him the situation and he told me I needed to move out. It was the worst living situation I have ever been through. The landlord was not understanding, and I could have easily gone to small claims court if he refused to break the lease, due to unsafe circumstances with staying in that apartment. Know your rights as a tenant, always have everything in writing.
