Review Summary for Macdougal & Sixth Realty LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by MACDOUGAL & SIXTH REALTY LLC reveal a generally responsive and professional management team, with specific praise for staff like Ricardo and superintendents who handle maintenance promptly. Buildings tend to be well-maintained and clean in many cases, though some properties show issues with pests, particularly mice and occasional roaches, which are sometimes slow to be resolved. Noise from busy city streets and subways is a common concern, affecting residents' comfort but is unrelated to management performance. Tenants note occasional challenges such as outdated heating systems, water pressure inconsistencies, and difficulty in transferring units, yet many appreciate the management’s attentiveness and overall upkeep.

Great building but..
Former Tenant
Pros:
Excellent management team, with Ricardo being one of the most attentive and professional supervisors I’ve worked with. The building is well-maintained and issues are addressed promptly.
Cons:
Nothing to do with the management, but the place can get extremely noisy. The rumble from the subway line right beneath the building is constant and can affect your peace of mind. In addition, frequent fire and emergency sirens from 6th Avenue add to the overall noise level. The building sits above one of the busiest subway stations near W 4th St, so expect consistent background noise throughout the day and night.

Great place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean, great super, very responsive management
Cons:
Hard to transfer units (wanted to move to a 2bd and they ignored me) Dante is very crowded and loud. Rats were a problem, but they took aggressive action to fix and no recent issues

Great apartment location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cute apartments, location, price, heat/hot water
Cons:
Noisy neighbors, not all, but there are college kids and younger millennials. Ongoing door slamming, and occasional parties with loud music and staircase area noise. Not the most clean general areas. The management tram has stained my dress during painting job and they did not reimburse the damage. Since it took me a while to notice to report, they have implied that the damage could have happened during another job. Crazy!!!
Advice to owner:
Get email, no one likes to call land line in 2022

Great Location, No Complaints
Former Tenant
Pros:
The 6th Ave sidewalk is extra wide on the building's block - this is nice as you feel set back from traffic / noise. There's a nice brick/garden seating area outside (NYC parks property). Rent paid via automatic wire (super easy). Super, Ricardo, is responsive and helpful and always around (he lives in a building next door). He does a great job managing the garbage regularly. We have video intercoms which are nice. Not sure if all are, but my unit is rent stabilized.
Cons:
Management group/landlord is not very responsive but I've had few reasons to reach out to them. Twice they overcharge me on rent but rectified both times (with a lot of following up from me). Hallway sounds can be heard really clearly inside units, but the building isn't too busy. I've had a few pest problems (mice) but Ricardo has always heled and the building does have an exterminator. I've had a few packages stolen which can be frustrating but overall not a major issue here.
Advice to owner:
Whatever you pay Ricardo, pay him more!

Good Building in Loud Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
The management team did a good job of being responsive. The super is usually available within ~1 hour of a request being made. Building is clean and tenants are generally very kind and considerate. Never had issues with water, heat, gas, power, etc. Trash is well organized.
Cons:
The only con is the noise on Avenue of the Americas. It has nothing to do with the building or management team, just is a very busy street.
Advice to owner:
Keep it up, y'all! Enjoyed my time here.

Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is in a good location and has good windows and high ceilings
