Review Summary for Donald Zucker
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Buildings under Donald Zucker's management generally feature friendly doormen, responsive supers, and well-maintained common areas with desirable amenities like rooftops and gyms. Residents appreciate safety, good water pressure, and convenient locations near transit. However, some buildings struggle with persistent noise due to location and construction, occasional pest issues—especially cockroaches—and aging infrastructure. Management responsiveness varies, with reports of slow or unhelpful handling of repairs and lease inquiries, and some tenants describe a toxic management culture. Rent hikes without negotiation and inconsistent maintenance highlight areas for improvement. Overall, expect professional staff but prepare for occasional property management challenges.

A good facade
Former Tenant
Pros:
Safe Neighborhood, great water pressure in the apartment. Packages are always safe. Doormen are nice.
Cons:
Slow elevators, constant construction in the building, maintnence and management loves to put a bandaid on things that are broken without getting to the true cause so I had to put in a request to fix the same things many times.

Decent building that's poorly taken care of and managed
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments are spacious, the doormen are helpful, and having the package room is nice.
Cons:
The building has a lot of major water issues. The water gets shut off most months with little notice to residents. The kitchen and bathroom sinks often flood with backwash water spewing out. The building management tries to fix the issues themselves rather than hiring professional plumbers.
There are often cockroaches seen in the hallways and stairwells.
The gym equipment is old.
The management company is incredibly unhelpful with questions about your lease.

Amazing Experience at Claridges
Former Tenant
Pros:
This is our third year as tenements and our experience has been superb. Our leasing agent, Debora, went above and beyond for us and insured a positive and timely move-in process. She was so kind and friendly and responsive, totally unlike anyone else we had dealt with. She truly made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. I’ve continued to see Deb around the building and she always puts a smile on my face.
Cons:
None. We are very happy.
Advice to owner:
Hire more people like Debora.

Solid building with a great social environment
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived here for 2 yrs. I enjoyed my experience and wish I could’ve stayed. I had a great introduction to the building by leasing staff Deborah and then my stay in the apt and with the building staff was excellent. The lobby workers all make you feel good to come home. Good sized apts, with very nice interiors. Lots of closets.
Cons:
Rents can get high.
Advice to owner:
Mgmnt doesn’t need to raise the rent so much. instead keep good tenants that pay on time and add to the building in a positive way.

Faux Fancy Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice sized apartment, lovely roof deck and friendly doormen.
Cons:
Noise. Construction starts across the street at 7AM six days a week, tenants are advised to call 311. Also, the building is on Broadway so lots of loud traffic all the time and a firehouse is two blocks away.
The building lacks a service elevator so all moves, maintenance and trash/recycling share the two elevators. It is not unusual to wait extended time for one.
Building address is technically Tribeca but it is more Tribeca/China Town area.

Advice to owner:
Use of the elevator would be best confined to low traffics hours to minimize impact to residents. Laundry room needs maintenance.
