Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Elliot Frankel paint a mixed picture. While some appreciate the convenient locations and spacious apartments, many point to inconsistent maintenance and responsiveness. Cleanliness and pest control often fall short, with issues like roaches, mice, and dirty entryways reported. Heating problems and noise disturbances, including from nearby event spaces, are common complaints. Garbage management tends to be better rated, but residents frequently mention a lack of timely repairs for critical issues like heat and roof leaks. Overall, renters should expect occasional neglect in upkeep and varying responsiveness from management.
