Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by Steven Goldschmeid consistently report poor management responsiveness and neglect of maintenance issues. Common complaints include unaddressed pest problems, poor cleanliness, malfunctioning appliances, and frequent delays in repairs. Safety concerns arise from unresolved water leaks, security lapses, and inadequate fire alarm maintenance. Many tenants feel dismissed, especially younger renters, citing poor communication and lack of respect. Although some buildings offer good locations and decent amenities, management's negligence and unprofessionalism heavily impact tenant satisfaction. Prospective renters should expect unresponsive management, ongoing maintenance problems, and a generally unsupportive living environment.

Reviews

Fine building but management is useless

Pros

The building is in a good location, on the corner so gets a lot of sunlight, renovated, neighbors are nice

Cons

YHT MANAGEMENT IS EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT !! Water heater was replaced recently and caused a gas leak, building had no hot water for 5 days and management was completely useless in fixing it. Also basement units have flooded multiple times!

Advice to the owners

Please hire staff who are actually responsive and care about the tenants in the building. Your staff is extremely dismissive and treat tenants like a nuisance when we reach out about the (many) maintenance requests needed in the building.

Only when you’re fresh out of College

Pros

Central AC, control your own heat, close to several subway lines

Cons

Washer dryers never worked, had mice problems and it took several phone calls to have management take it seriously. I also HATE the kitchen cabinets with hinges at the top. They broke often and I had to balance the door on my head to get anything out of them.

Advice to the owners

Listen to tenets that come with problems and take them seriously even if they are young.
