Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback concerning Barry Gottehrer's managed buildings reveals significant dissatisfaction primarily around poor cleanliness and pest issues, including frequent mouse infestations and mold problems. Heating systems are unreliable, with tenants often needing to repeatedly request service during winter. Garbage management varies but often feels inadequate. Noise disturbances and unauthorized smoking in hallways contribute to discomfort, and security concerns such as package theft are reported. Owner responsiveness is generally slow, leaving many repair and maintenance issues insufficiently addressed. While locations may be convenient and some buildings are pet-friendly and rent-stabilized, tenants express frustration with management’s lack of proactive engagement and inefficacy in addressing core living conditions.

Horrible apartment building
Pros
Rent stabilization, pet friendly

There is always a party outside, and young men smoking on the steps to the building every day, and keeping the door open. Not clean at all. It says non smoking building but that's a joke.
