Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by STEPHEN KRAUS frequently commend friendly neighbors and appreciate some locations for good value and spacious apartments. However, there are consistent concerns about aging infrastructure, such as elevators, heating, and water pressure issues, often compounded by slow or unresponsive management. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, with some buildings scoring well and others facing pest and sanitation issues. Safety and security, particularly in certain Manhattan and Bronx properties, are significant concerns. Several reviews highlight a need for better upkeep, more timely repairs, and improved communication from management to foster a safer and more comfortable living environment.
