Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback indicates buildings managed by Sol Knopf offer great locations and spacious apartments with generally friendly neighbors and quiet environments. However, tenants consistently report significant management shortcomings, including slow or ineffective responses to maintenance requests and chronic pest problems, especially with rodents and roaches. Cleanliness and heating are often rated below expectations, and tenants express frustration over attempts to circumvent rent stabilization protections. Garbage management varies, but overall upkeep struggles undermine the tenant experience. Prospective renters should be prepared for potential delays in maintenance, pest control challenges, and problematic landlord interactions despite the desirable settings and neighborly atmosphere.
