Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Carl Finger reveals a pattern of poor maintenance and management responsiveness, particularly at the 246 East 53 Street property. Issues include persistent pest infestations, inadequate garbage management leading to rodent problems, and prolonged construction noise. Several tenants report unresponsiveness to repair requests and heating failures. Tenant relations seem strained due to troubling incidents with an elderly resident and shared private information. While some locations like 223 East 21 Street and 210 East 95 Street have occasional positive remarks for environment and neighbors, overall management is criticized for neglecting timely repairs and maintaining building conditions, resulting in tenant dissatisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·13 hours ago

Decent building under construction

Pros

The building is quiet and functional. My unit is pretty nice, despite needing repairs fairly frequently. No laundry on site but some units may have it.

Cons

A lot of upkeep is needed but I’d you put work into your unit it’s a great spot. The common areas were pretty dodgy but they are currently redoing the common areas and slowly updating the units.

Advice to the owners

Thank you for updating the common areas!

Beware, the owners do not return security deposits. No reasons given.

Pros

It is very close to major subway hubs.

Cons

The owners finger & finger are non responsive. They do not take care to clean the building or respond to any requests, i.e. a broken stove for 3 months. Garbage area is riddled with rats and mice. Constant hallway obstructions act as fire hazards.
