Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Ralph Westerhoff reveals a mixed management experience. While some properties, like the one on West 82 Street, are praised for good location, decent neighbors, and adequate amenities such as washer/dryers and effective heating, there are recurring issues with pest control and occasional cleanliness concerns. Garbage management and noise levels vary notably across buildings. Several tenants report unresponsive management and maintenance delays, especially in older buildings with infrastructure challenges. Rent stabilization statuses are inconsistent, influencing tenant satisfaction. Overall, renters should expect some well-maintained buildings alongside others struggling with upkeep and management responsiveness under Ralph Westerhoff's portfolio.

Reviews

Former tenant·15 minutes ago

This building is okay

Pros

Location, mostly great neighbors

Cons

Hard to control mice situation

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Avoid this terribly managed building!

Pros

Location in Chelsea. Decent sized apartment

Cons

Terribly managed building. Hallways and stairs are dirty, smell like trash and falling apart. Across the street from police precinct which means noise at all hours and you cant walk on the sidewalks because police park on them. Whole building is infested with roaches. Neighbors are all grumpy elderly people who complain about literally everything and border on harassment. Don’t take this apartment unless you’re into roaches, smells and rotten neighbors.

Advice to the owners

Do your job, and be nicer.
