Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Alvin Wittlin presents a mixed picture. While some residents praise the good location, natural light, and timely responsiveness of the super, others express serious concerns such as inconsistent management communication, poor building upkeep, and pest problems. Notably, there are multiple severe complaints regarding a live-in superintendent with a criminal background and inadequate maintenance responses. Noise from nearby hospital traffic and garbage management issues are recurring drawbacks. Rent increases and delayed security deposit returns frustrate some tenants. Overall, renters suggest that management needs to improve transparency, maintenance standards, and tenant care to foster a better living environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·12 hours ago

Loved and will miss it!

Pros

Tons of natural light and in a lively area of the neighborhood. Rarely issues with bugs. Heat and AC work great. Super is quick and responsive.

Cons

Occasionally higher management can be hard to get a hold of but needing to contact them is rare.

Former tenant·8 months ago

Think twice before renting

Pros

Several subway stations and lines nearby for commuting to Manhattan. Convenient location near Park Slope.

Cons

The agent gave vague answers and pressured me with fake deadlines, even though I was the only applicant. After approval, I was switched to a different address without clear explanation. Advertising and lease paperwork listed different building numbers, making it hard to verify reviews. The building itself has issues: narrow hallways with a strange smell, missing bedbug filings, and a former super who, according to official records, is still connected to the property.
