Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Richard Scarf highlights prime locations and quiet, respectful neighbors as key positives. Apartments often feature charming details and convenient access to amenities. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or inadequate, with many maintenance issues poorly addressed or superficially fixed. Pest problems and occasional security concerns, such as package theft, have been noted. While some tenants approve of the on-site staff, overall upkeep and landlord communication leave room for improvement. Prospective renters should weigh the great location against management challenges when considering these buildings.

Not bad for the price

Advice to the owners

Take better care of your building

Former tenant·4 months ago

lovely building, nice neighbors!

Pros

beautiful windows, beautiful floors, great neighborhood, easy walk to the park

Cons

Maintenance is a little slow & often just puts band-aids on issues rather than actually fixing things. Heat will sometimes come on when it’s 60 degrees out but not when it’s 20 degrees out.
