Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Martin Blum indicate generally responsive and attentive management teams and well-maintained buildings, especially praised for their excellent locations in Manhattan. Residents often commend the building supers for addressing issues promptly and appreciate a generally quiet and safe atmosphere. However, recurring concerns include aging infrastructure with occasional plumbing and heating inconsistencies, pest problems especially in older buildings, and occasional delays in management responsiveness requiring follow-ups. Some tenants note challenges like package theft, noise from neighbors or street traffic, and limitations such as small unit sizes and absence of modern amenities. Overall, the management appears committed but could improve pest control, heating systems, and communication accessibility.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Good area, rent stabilized

Pros

Amazing location, rent stabilized apartment.

Cons

Small, old, has bugs from time to time. Frequent plumbing issues. Occasional package thieves

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Generally good and helpful

Pros

Great location, building generally good, landlords responsive as long as you chase

Cons

Building is slanted so the floor is uneven. Have to chase management to get things done (though they are responsive after you follow up).
