Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback regarding buildings managed by Bob Kam reveals a mixed experience. Tenants commonly praise the attentive doormen, pleasant neighbors, and cleanliness in some units. However, significant concerns have been voiced about poor ventilation issues causing mold and pests, unresponsive and slow maintenance, particularly regarding heating and air conditioning repairs, and occasional management unprofessionalism such as delayed security deposit returns. Noise levels and outdated common areas are noted but vary by apartment. While many appreciate the building locations and some landlord responsiveness, prospective renters should be cautious about management’s repair timeliness and thoroughness in addressing tenant concerns.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Great location, large bedrooms that are separate in exchange for small kitchen /living area

Pros

Huge rooms with lovely original parquet floors. Decent light. Doorman. Laundry in building. Close to the lovely Sutton Pl Park on E 57th for some respite from Midtown craziness. Very lovely and responsive landlord.

Cons

Very small kitchen, and cosy living room. But in exchange you had larger rooms. Rent increased as the weight of Covid lifted. The process of going through a condominium approval is arduous and pricy, but the doormen were very lovely and noise levels were very very low. Price did increase too high for us to stay, but I suppose that's to be expected for this neighborhood.
