Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for RIPEL LLC-managed buildings at 77 St Marks Place highlights a mostly negative experience with management. Renters consistently report poor responsiveness, often only via email with no direct contact number, leading to frustration and unresolved maintenance issues, especially heating failures during winter. Pest problems and unclean common areas are common complaints. Tenants mention numerous unexpected fees and fines, and reports of withheld security deposits. While the location is praised and neighbors sometimes considered decent, tenants warn that management prioritizes cost-saving over tenant comfort and communication. Prospective renters should expect challenges in maintenance, pest control, and management accessibility.
