Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Marvin Basch show a mixed management experience. Tenants appreciate spacious units, convenient locations near subway stops, and some friendly superintendents. However, recurring issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, pest problems, and inconsistent heating—especially during winter. Responsiveness from management is often criticized as slow or insufficient, with maintenance delays and unaddressed complaints about building conditions. Noise and loitering around some properties add to tenant concerns. While some buildings are rent stabilized and offer affordable rent, there is a clear call for better upkeep, updated appliances, and more proactive communication from management to improve residents' living conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Spacious for Price

Pros

Spacious living room and bedroom tons of closet space right next to subway stop

Cons

Old furnishings walk up no laundry garbage around the corner rat problem cold in winters

Advice to the owners

Heat the building in winter even off peak

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

Goldmont does not make it a joy to live here

Pros

Rent stabilized in a pleasant neighborhood.

Cons

The laundry room has been out of service for a year, and the machines require replacement. Management has taken no significant action to address this vital amenity, only sending a repairman who has been unable to resolve the ongoing issues. The hallways are quite dirty, and management tends to do just the bare minimum to keep the building up. Furthermore, the noise from children playing in the hallways can be quite disruptive.

Advice to the owners

Replace the laundry machines in the basement.
