Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Seth Schochet reveals a mixed experience. While some properties boast spacious apartments, energy-efficient designs, and quiet environments, a recurring theme is poor management responsiveness and inadequate maintenance. Issues such as persistent pest infestations, garbage disposal problems, and unresolved HVAC or water pressure complaints are commonly cited. Some neighborhoods are noisy or suffer from cleanliness problems. Though a few tenants praise helpful staff and good neighbors, many warn about unaddressed building disrepair and lack of timely communication. Overall, renters should expect variability in management quality with an emphasis on slow issue resolution.

Slumlords - Don’t Rent Here

Pros

The building should be great. Big apartments, nice layout.

Cons

The landlords do not maintain the building and it is falling into disrepair. They also don’t fix issues that are repeatedly brought to their attention. There is black mold in the building and the water quality is poor.

Advice to the owners

Take care of the building and your tenants.
