Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Urban Associates LLC manages buildings with varied tenant experiences. Positively, staff are frequently described as friendly, responsive, and helpful, offering good concierge and maintenance services. Several buildings are clean with effective garbage management, pet-friendly policies, and well-maintained amenities like gyms and laundry. However, pest control is a recurring issue—tenants report rodents and occasional insects with slow or insufficient remediation. Noise can be a problem, especially near busy streets or ongoing construction. Some older buildings suffer from plumbing, heating inconsistencies, and water pressure issues. Rent increases and management responsiveness in crises show mixed reviews, signaling room for improved tenant communication and maintenance consistency.

Wife & Husband w/ varied opinions

Pros

- unbelievable, unbeatable views -friendly doorman - Pet friendly - in a higher up unit, pretty quiet

Cons

-Occasional pest problems (eventually did get resolved) - near Times Square and Lincoln Tunnel so very busy -LOTS of construction and poor communication from higher ups (not the people who work in the building)

Advice to the owners

I have had an AMAZNG experience living here, and feel thankful everyday as I look out at the view. There are also advantages to be in the middle when it comes to easily getting to other areas of NYC. My husband feels the opposite because of how busy the area is, having to deal with the construction noise for 2 years. This is how most people in the building feel either LOVE it or over the area. You'll need to reflect which camp you think you'd be in.
