Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Umesh Diwan consistently point to serious maintenance and management issues. Common grievances include inadequate heating, frequent pest infestations, poor cleanliness, and garbage management problems, especially in some Brooklyn and Queens properties. Many renters find the landlord and superintendents unresponsive or difficult to reach, with repair requests often delayed or ignored. Safety concerns such as blocked fire escapes and deteriorating building conditions are reported. Despite some buildings having friendly neighbors and good-sized apartments, the overall experience is marred by these persistent operational deficiencies. Renters advise management to improve communication, hire competent staff, and address critical maintenance swiftly.

Nice Apartments... Meh Building...

Pros

The newer units in the building have nice upgrades so when you are inside your apartment it feels good and comfortable. Recent super has been good. Attentive and decent job of trash take out. Neighbors in building are friendly and pleasant.

Cons

... the rest of the building can be better. The hallways and lobby feel old and outdated. A fresh coat of paint would do a great job of brightening the building. Still waiting on the laundry room that was promised upon moving in. Neutral on owner. A lot of noise and activity at neighboring buildings over last 2 years.

Advice to the owners

The lobby is a huge, maybe incorporating a bike rake for tenants would be helpful. Also partnering with Amazon for lockers would be great amenity. More focus on the building would be great.
