Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by John Warren reveals consistent struggles with cleanliness and garbage management, with many buildings facing pest problems and poorly maintained common areas. Heat and water pressure are generally adequate, but noise disturbances from neighbors, especially late at night, are frequently reported alongside concerns about building security and unauthorized activities. Ownership responsiveness is often described as slow or lacking, leading to unresolved maintenance and safety issues. While some tenants appreciate friendly maintenance staff and community aspects, the prevailing sentiment highlights a pressing need for improved management oversight, timely repairs, enhanced pest control, and stricter enforcement of building rules to foster a safer, cleaner living environment.

Building needs better super

Pros

Excellent heat and water

Cons

Noise from other tenants after 11p while others trying to sleep playing music at 2a Trash is disgusting not kept well no organization between boxes and trash Family owned nothing gets corrected

Advice to the owners

Put a stop to the tenants making noise after 11p. NY State law is no noise after 11pm. In the building or i will be getting the police involved in person
