Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for Edward Friedman’s buildings reveal a mixed management experience. Tenants appreciate thoughtful apartment layouts, clean common areas, and added security with virtual doormen—features that enhance living comfort. However, a common concern is the landlord’s unresponsiveness, making maintenance and communication frustrating. Cleanliness is generally well-maintained, though some feel it has declined over time. Issues like poor window insulation contribute to high noise levels, and water pressure is often subpar. Additionally, rent prices appear high relative to the amenities offered. Overall, prospective renters should expect decent accommodations but may face challenges with management responsiveness and building upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

It’s fine, but is getting worse

Pros

Thoughtful layout for a 1 bedroom with a large kitchen and bathroom. Real hardwood floors. Virtual doorman.

Cons

Windows are not well insulated. Some units have better upgrades than other. Super and building management are not super responsive. Common areas used to be clean weekly, but now it’s lucky to be once-a-month. No amenities in the building.

Advice to the owners

Don’t overburden the superintendent and don’t overcharge your tenants.
