Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Richard Scharf indicates a mixed management experience. Many appreciate the good location, decent pricing, and amenities like doormen and responsive supers. Cleanliness and garbage management are generally satisfactory, though some note occasional pest issues and subpar cleanliness at move-in. Noise levels and thin walls are common complaints, exacerbated by some unruly neighbors and nearby street noise. Owner responsiveness varies, with some tenants praising timely responses, while others report delays or unresponsiveness. Overall, while tenants find the buildings suitable for starter apartments, management could benefit from improving noise control, pest management, and super responsiveness to enhance tenant satisfaction.
