Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Gila Fischman reveal recurring issues with pest control, notably persistent roach infestations despite tenant efforts and requests. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with some acknowledging improvements but others pointing to ongoing concerns. Communication and responsiveness from management are widely criticized as slow or inadequate, especially during emergencies. Noise levels can be problematic due to location, and promised building amenities and repairs are often delayed or incomplete. Tenants advise reorganizing management practices, improving pest control, and fulfilling amenity commitments to enhance tenant satisfaction and retention.

Roach infested apartment

Pros

It looks modern and cute I guess

Cons

The building is infested with roaches, even if you clean and get the exterminator. That place gave me forever PTSD OCD about NYC roaches. I would avoid at all cost unless they figure that problem out.

Advice to the owners

FIGURE OUT YOUR PEST CONTROL

Former tenant·3 months ago

Unhelpful Weaponized Ignorance

Pros

outside community (irrespective of any help from management)

Cons

Gila is widely inaccessible and avoids emails and phone calls. Our building lost power for 48 hours, and we could not access our homes because the outside door is controlled with electricity with no backup key. We were sent no emails regarding these concerns. The building also has a PERSISTENT pest and roach issue that management is intent on not solving. The water pressure is terrible and I have had a brokens stovetop since move in with no help sign of resolution. This was almost a year ago now. Bad building--worse management. Do your best to avoid

Advice to the owners

do better. fumigate the building. develop better customer service.
