Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by URBAN ASSOCIATES LLC present a mixed picture. Many residents praise the cleanliness, responsiveness of the staff, and well-maintained amenities, while numerous reviews express dissatisfaction with management's communication and ongoing maintenance issues. Some highlight concerns regarding harsh rent increases, noise disruptions from neighbors, and pest control problems. While several tenants appreciate the location and great neighbors, recurring complaints about management's strict rules and poor handling of issues raise red flags. Overall, while the buildings may offer desirable living conditions, potential renters should carefully consider management practices and their impact on the living experience.

Stop raising the rent

Former tenant·1 month ago

Overall great experience

Pros

The building is impeccably maintained, and the facilities and amenities are top-notch.  It's always clean and is a great place to come home to.

Cons

Some of the management rules are unnecessarily strict, and the management is generally pretty difficult to deal with. The doormen are amazing.

Advice to the owners

Great job with the cleanliness and upkeep of the building.  Please keep the amenity areas open a little longer, and please do not charge such exorbitant fees for the party rooms.
