Cons:
Since Dermot took over the (c) openigloo building, the entire community and (c) openigloo quality of living has taken (c) openigloo a massive nosedive.
First of (c) openigloo all, despite rent stabilization, Dermot (c) openigloo has found some clause in (c) openigloo leases so they are jacking (c) openigloo rents 1K+ per month per (c) openigloo unit. No one understands how (c) openigloo they are legally getting away (c) openigloo with this, but C-grade apartments (c) openigloo with finishes that are falling (c) openigloo apart are going well over (c) openigloo market rate and if you (c) openigloo live here 1 year, beware (c) openigloo if you want to renew. (c) openigloo They aren’t playing by the (c) openigloo rent stabilization rules.
They have fired (c) openigloo tons of staff. The garbage (c) openigloo piles up. The gym is (c) openigloo filthy and there have been (c) openigloo incessant roach and bug problems.
Not (c) openigloo to mention the management of (c) openigloo the direct building are super (c) openigloo rude.

(c) openigloo The direct manager of the (c) openigloo building is brutally rude and (c) openigloo will stop responding to emails (c) openigloo whenever she feels like it. (c) openigloo
Building management are uneducated, inept (c) openigloo and driving this place to (c) openigloo the ground. Hiring relatives to (c) openigloo work here- nepotism abound.
It’s (c) openigloo filthy. There’s no value, and (c) openigloo tenants have to call 311 (c) openigloo to get anything done.
Look (c) openigloo at every single other building (c) openigloo in the area before you (c) openigloo look at 316 Bergen while (c) openigloo Dermot is managing.
