Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Melvin Gershon reflects mixed experiences. Many appreciate friendly, responsive supers and well-located quiet buildings. Maintenance is generally good, with clean common areas and prompt pest control in some buildings. However, pest infestations, occasional slow owner responsiveness, and outdated amenities, like slow elevators and inconsistent heat, appear as recurring issues. Garbage management is adequate but sometimes lacks efficiency. Tenants suggest better communication channels, faster issue resolution, and building upgrades such as improved security and elevator systems. Despite these concerns, several tenants recommend living here due to community feel and reasonable rents, especially in rent-stabilized units.
