Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by PINCUS SCHWIMMER reveal a mixed management experience. Positive notes include generally clean buildings, timely garbage removal, affordable rent-stabilized units, and friendly neighbors with responsive on-site superintendents in some locations. However, recurrent issues include inconsistent heating, frequent pest infestations (rats, roaches, bedbugs), poor communication, slow or inadequate maintenance responses, and building disrepair. Several tenants report harassment, security concerns, and unclean common areas. Management often appears detached or unresponsive, with complaints about rent hikes and unit renovations. Prospective renters should be cautious and expect variability in maintenance and management quality across different buildings.
