Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews reveal that Alan Garfield's buildings often feature supportive neighbors and decent living spaces in good locations. However, a recurring issue is poor owner responsiveness, with many complaints about slow or unaddressed repairs, especially heating, plumbing, and pest control. Several residents report pest problems, particularly during summer, and some note cleanliness and garbage management concerns. While a few buildings have well-maintained amenities and responsive supers, overall management is frequently criticized as unresponsive and neglectful, causing frustration among tenants and leading several to advise management to improve communication and maintenance efforts to better serve residents.
