Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants report the buildings managed by Ricardo Vonputtkammer have clean lobbies, good locations, and functional amenities like elevators and laundry facilities. The superintendents are experienced but often busy and sometimes difficult to reach. Persistent pest issues, especially with mice and rats in basements and apartments, are frequently cited, with pest control efforts viewed as inadequate. Noise can be a problem, both from neighbors and external sources. Owner responsiveness is inconsistent, with some tenants experiencing delays or unresponsiveness, while others praise timely management. Overall, renters recommend the buildings but advise high maintenance tolerance and urge improvements in pest control and communication.
