Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Steve Gross reveal chronic issues with management responsiveness and property maintenance. Many residents report unaddressed pest infestations, frequent heating failures especially in winter, and poor garbage management leading to unsanitary conditions. Package theft and building security are common concerns, with inadequate surveillance and unsecured laundry and mail areas noted. While some tenants mention the presence of friendly supers and decent apartment sizes, management often fails to respond to repair requests or legal obligations, causing frustration and safety worries. Despite rent-stabilized units and generally good locations, the landlord’s neglect significantly detracts from tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Lots of problems

Pros

Rent stabilized units

Cons

Horrible pest management. Years ago when there were several bed bug cases they hired the worst possible pest control company. Heat went out in the winter for weeks at a time. You can hear rats running through the walls. Super is incredibly unresponsive. Garbage area is often overflowing. Packages always stolen. Hallways are not kept clean.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

The owners are terrible

Pros

My apartment was spacious - heat was ample and the water pressure was good

Cons

Management did not reply to complaints - we had several litigations. The elevator broke down frequently and would not be repaired for weeks. There were tenants that created huge issues and the owners did nothing about it

Advice to the owners

Stop being a slumlord
