Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Laurence Beame reveal a generally quiet and well-located Upper West Side experience with charming prewar details. Tenants appreciate the safe, clean common areas and responsive owner communications, though some report delays in maintenance and pest control issues, especially with mice and roaches. Heating is inconsistent in certain units, and package theft remains a recurring problem. Management tends to be less responsive to non-urgent issues, leading to tenant frustrations. Despite some complaints about outdated apartments and small unit sizes, many residents recommend these buildings due to their location and neighborhood ambiance but urge improvements in pest management and maintenance responsiveness.
