Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Reviews of buildings managed by Robert Cohen reflect a mixed tenant experience. While several newer or renovated properties like 42 Grove Street and 325 West 93rd Street receive praise for cleanliness, location, and responsive management, chronic issues persist in others. Multiple reviews cite severe pest problems, especially rats, poor heating or inconsistent heat provision, and neglected maintenance particularly in older or rent-stabilized buildings such as 247 Broome Street and 135 Eldridge Street. Tenants frequently report unresponsive management, inadequate security, and accumulation of garbage contributing to unpleasant conditions. Although some tenants approve the owner and recommend the buildings, others strongly advise against moving in, attributing dissatisfaction to slow repairs and insufficient basic services. Overall, management shows responsiveness primarily in renovated units, but ongoing upkeep and tenant relations need improvement to ensure consistent living quality across all properties.
