Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by 105 W 55TH STREET ASSOCIATES LLC reveals a highly mixed and polarized experience. Positive comments frequently mention responsive, helpful superintendents, friendly neighbors, and pet-friendly policies that create a welcoming community. The location is also valued by many residents. However, significant concerns persist regarding building maintenance, including chronic elevator malfunctions, poor heating and water pressure, pest issues, and garbage management problems. Some tenants describe management as unresponsive, difficult, or even unpleasant. Ongoing construction and infrastructure deficiencies exacerbate tenant frustrations, leading to calls for improved communication, respectful treatment, modernization, and overall better upkeep to enhance living conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Constant problems in the building like elevator door fails to open etc

Pros

Rooms are large

Cons

The owner Gideon Platt and Brandon Valentin. They're dishonest, rude, condescending and unpleasant people to be around.

Advice to the owners

Lose the arrogance and treat people with respect.

Former tenant·2 months ago

Dilapidated old bldg with possible lead pipes

Pros

Proximity to Central Park

Cons

The owner, mgmt style, bldg elevators get stuck, rodents in basement, pricing way too high for all that plus low water pressure and heat and hot water weren't good. Luckily gone now and in a much nicer place with better landlord/manager who isn't so difficult to deal with.

Advice to the owners

Sell the bldg to a better person who cares about people and knows how to manage a building.
