Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by FRED-DOUG 117 LLC reveal a mixed tenant experience. Many appreciate the friendly and helpful doormen and staff, responsive maintenance, spacious rent-stabilized units, and a strong community atmosphere. Common praise is given for cleanliness in public areas and pest control efforts, though some note occasional pest infestations and issues with trash management. Heating and noise insulation receive varied feedback, and some common areas like gyms and laundry rooms could use upgrades and better upkeep. Tenant concerns also highlight occasional unresponsiveness and problematic staff behavior. Overall, expect a generally well-managed building with room for improvement in maintenance consistency and management responsiveness.

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Great building, friendly staff

Pros

Great apartments, staff is friendly and helpful, responsive maintenance and pest control (some years better than others). Highly recommend

Cons

Building mostly stays on top of cockroach extermination, but occasionally exterminator has been a no show and infestations would get bad in those times
