Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Martin Baumrind reveals a mixed management experience. Positives include responsive and professional management teams, attentive supers living onsite, and decent upkeep in some well-located buildings. Many residents note good heat, quiet neighbors, and reasonable rents for Manhattan and Brooklyn areas. However, there are recurring issues with pests, particularly roaches and mice, in several older buildings. Complaints also mention inconsistent garbage management, aging infrastructure, noise insulation problems, and occasional slow or unhelpful responses, especially in rent-stabilized units. Overall, expect attentive management in some properties, but persistent pest and maintenance challenges in others, suggesting variable tenant experiences across Baumrind’s portfolio.

Reviews

Former tenant·14 minutes ago

Great location, great price, bad sound insulation between floors.

Pros

Perfect location on the most idyllic street, and at a great price. Management is nice and responsive, and super is incredible. Neighbors are all quiet and respectful, not loud at all.

Cons

The main con is that there is poor sound insulation between floors. Every footstep is heard.
