Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by EMPIRE MANAGEMENT AMERICA CORP. reveal a mixed experience, with a significant divide between buildings. While some tenants praise responsive supers, cleanliness, and well-maintained units in certain locations, others report severe issues at buildings like 282 Cabrini Boulevard, including prolonged scaffolding, poor garbage management, pest infestations, and security concerns. A common complaint is the management’s slow or non-responsive customer service, contributing to tenant frustration. Noise and maintenance problems, along with neglected infrastructure and safety hazards, are also frequently noted. Prospective renters should be aware of potential maintenance challenges and management responsiveness varies widely across properties.

Terrible management.they installed this scaffolding five years ago and it’s still up, with loud noises and garbage every day. Huge dogs, and each neighbor has three to four dogs. I can’t wait to move out by February 1.
