    Review Summary for 301 E 91 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant feedback for 301 E 91 St reveals a building with an excellent location and good apartment space, ideal for newcomers to the city. However, persistent issues such as poor building maintenance, pest infestations (mice and cockroaches), broken infrastructure, and slow or unresponsive landlord communication overshadow these benefits. Residents report harassment and problematic rent practices by management, notably the landlord and agents, causing distrust. Noise from nearby nightlife also affects living quality. Garbage management and cleanliness ratings are low, and water pressure and heating can be unreliable. Overall, while neighborhood convenience is notable, serious management and upkeep concerns detract significantly from tenant satisfaction.

    Beware of NYC landlord Massud "Mike" Rahbar and David Warner of Blackwater
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location is wonderful
    Cons:
    the landlord is a legit criminal. repairs are never fixed unless you call 311 then the landlord and super, "Jerry", will harass you and try to intimidate you into moving out. The landlord owes over $100,000, his building is under foreclosure, he has changed his company name 3 times as well as address. He will delay cashing your check then send fake eviction notices stating you are to move out for not paying rent.
    Advice to owner:
    Show up to court. There are several appearances you have avoided and more to come.

    Mouse and cockroach o fested
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    First apartment didn't know any better
    Cons:
    In the span of two weeks I trapped 9 different mice. When I told the owner about didn't care, nor helped me with the problem. The super nowhere to be found. A few months later had to fight an infestation of cockroaches. At the end the landlord sent fraudulent checks with my security deposit. Took him to small claims court
    Advice to owner:
    Care about your building.
