Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by 493 AMSTERDAM LLC reflect a mixed tenant experience. While management is noted to be fairly responsive and consistent, serious issues persist with heating inefficiency and high costs due to poor insulation and electric heat. Cleanliness and garbage removal are often criticized, with reports of persistent odors and pests. Security concerns arise due to minimal surveillance and building entry security. Tenants praise the excellent location and spacious units but express frustration over noise, outdated features, and insufficient maintenance. Overall, management engagement is uneven, revealing room for improvement in maintenance and tenant communication to enhance livability.

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Location, not luxury

Pros

Fairly responsive management, excellent location, updated appliances

Cons

Heating and cooling issues, high Con Ed bills, lack of sunlight

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Big space, older building

Pros

- rail road style rooming, felt large due to the separation of rooms - superintendent comes at a reasonable time when there’s an issue - quiet neighborhood

Cons

- rent increases by $400-$500 dollars - heard that there were mice issues, applied for pest control but no one followed up - packages have recently gone missing in the lobby

Advice to the owners

Follow up on tenants for the pest control, install security cameras in the front foyer to prevent theft
