Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Richard Barsky reveal a mixed management experience. Positives include attentive management and superintendents at some properties, well-maintained common areas, secure mailrooms, and reliable heating and water services. Residents appreciate the friendly neighbors and convenient locations, notably in Queens. However, significant complaints arise regarding pest infestations, particularly mice, roaches, and flies, often linked to poor garbage management and inadequate extermination efforts. Noise disturbances and outdated facilities also surface as concerns. Multiple reviewers mention slow or unresponsive management, lack of electronic rent payment options, and insufficient maintenance, suggesting that pest control and management responsiveness need urgent improvement for a consistently positive tenant experience.

Reviews

Former tenant·15 minutes ago

Great building to live in.

Pros

Friendly people and neighborhood. Responsive super.

Cons

So far not too many cons.

Advice to the owners

It would be much more convenient to be able to pay rent electronically. They only accept a mailed check.

Former tenant·6 minutes ago

Bad management and so many bugs

Pros

Good space and layout, laundry in building

Cons

So many flies as they put the garbage in the center courtyard. Can’t open windows or else flies will come in. Bed bugs, roaches, poor maintenance of the building.

Advice to the owners

Have the exterminator come in more often. Move the garbage away from the courtyard.
