Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for Fairstead Management LLC's buildings reveals consistent issues with unresponsive and disorganized management. Many complain of delayed or ignored maintenance requests, poor communication, and difficult access to management staff. Pest problems (cockroaches, mice, bedbugs) and insufficient building upkeep, including garbage management and security system failures, are frequent concerns. Some tenants note safety worries and noise issues, along with disproportionate rent increases. Despite this, residents appreciate good neighbors, pet-friendly units, and certain attractive amenities like in-unit laundry and renovated apartments. Overall, management responsiveness is a major drawback, often detracting from otherwise decent living environments.

Reviews

You get what you pay for

Pros

Great location, vibrant community, lots of space for Manhattan/NYC generally, in-unit washer/dryer

Cons

Terrible and unresponsive management. Emails go months unanswered and you cannot reach them by phone. Problem with some tenants leaving trash outside the trash chute, including food items out in the open. Issues with cockroaches and mice.

Great neighbors, unresponsive management

Pros

Neighbors are quiet and respectful, many have lived here for decades.

Cons

The management company is very hard to get ahold of, they seem to call from a different phone number each time we need to reach them.
