Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Jeffrey Grunstein reveal significant management challenges. Many residents report poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and unresolved pest infestations. Heating and water pressure issues are frequently mentioned, often coupled with slow or dishonest landlord responsiveness. Security deposit disputes and unexpected fees are common complaints, creating distrust among renters. Despite some appreciating apartment size and quiet location, the overall sentiment highlights frustration over landlord behavior and building upkeep. Prospective tenants should anticipate management that can be uncommunicative and inconsistent, making these properties less appealing for those prioritizing responsive and transparent management.

237 E 2nd Street Building Review

Pros

Big bedrooms, and thick walls.

Cons

Everything. Whatever you do, DO NOT LIVE HERE. THE LANDLORD JEFFREY GRUINSTEIN WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A YOUNG FEMALE RENTOR. HE WILL LIE ABOUT FIXING APPLIANCES AND CHARGE UNJUST FEES FOR THEIR REPAIRS (COMPLETELY ILLEGAL). NOT EVEN INCLUDING THE PEST ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. DO NOT LIVE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT MICE, ROACHES, AND YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT ILLEGALLY WITHHELD
