Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Richard Rubel reveal a mix of strengths and challenges. Tenants appreciate the excellent locations, spacious apartments, and generally responsive supers and management teams. Heating and pest control are often praised. However, many express concerns over cleanliness, especially in common areas and garbage management, with trash piling up in lobbies and occasional pest issues. Package thefts and security lapses, such as unsecured doors, are recurring problems. Noise levels vary widely, and some buildings show signs of aging and lack of timely maintenance. Overall, management is responsive but could improve in maintaining shared spaces and enhancing building security.

Good but Smelly Building

Apartment was pretty large, great location, elevator. Super is super nice.

Cons

Trash is stored in the lobby so it smells so bad. Homeless people would buzz in. Packages stolen.
