Review Summary for Woods Management CO

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by WOODS MANAGEMENT CO consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, particularly the doormen and superintendents, contributing to a welcoming living environment. The buildings benefit from convenient locations with good transport access. While cleanliness and garbage management are generally acceptable, some complaints about occasional dirtiness and pest issues arise. Heating systems are sometimes reported as either excellent or insufficient, with suggestions for better individual heat controls. Noise levels vary depending on location but can be an issue near busy streets or noisy neighbors. Responsiveness from management is mostly timely but can be inconsistent, with some tenants noting slow or unresponsive behavior. Overall, expect a community-focused, well-located property with room for infrastructure and maintenance improvements.

200 E 15th

Former Tenant

Pros:

Doormen are extremely nice. Great location and overall reliable.

Cons:

Street noise from 3rd ave is constant. Bathroom and kitchen could use updates. Consistent rent increases YoY with no major improvements to the building or any to the unit.

Solid building with excellent doormen and super/facilities

Former Tenant

Pros:

- great, convenient location
- friendly and helpful team of doormen
- maintenance issues are addressed quickly
- great sound insulation between floors as the floors have a very solid, thick weight to them

Cons:

- water pressure is pretty weak on the upper floors
- sound insulation between walls isn’t the greatest but I’ve lucked out in terms of having quieter neighbors

Safe, clean, and responsive....but no frills

Former Tenant

Pros:

Large Apartments.
Responsive Super and building manager.
Clean.

Cons:

Heat: Central computer controlled to ensure your unit is above the LEGAL minimum of habitability....so YOU WILL NEED A SPACE HEATER in every room unless you like it 62-64 F at night in the winter. Heat will turn off for several hours at a time and your unit can drop 12 degrees, so dress in layers
Contractors: Building hires cheap contractors, so the updates are pretty flimsy or poorly done. The Superintendent tries to fix the things he is able to

Advice to owner:

Allow for individual heat control.
Hire better contractors

Has its flaws

Former Tenant

Pros:

Close to restaurants, bars, & pharmacies

Cons:

Thin walls, super is unresponsive, management is very unresponsive, pests (roaches, mice). Before COVID, this building was super clean. But a year and a half later, it’s not as great as it once was. The neighbors on my floor are quiet but the neighbors above me throw parties all the time until 5 am. Please don’t move here.

Advice to owner:

Be available to your residents
