Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by 495 ESTATES indicates a mixed experience. Many appreciate the responsive and attentive superintendent and porter staff, highlighting good neighborliness and a quiet atmosphere. The buildings are often rent stabilized and well-located in nice neighborhoods. However, persistent pest control issues and some dated apartment features are common concerns. Additionally, there are significant complaints about management delays, poor garbage handling, and unresolved maintenance requests. Security deposit returns and rent increases during the pandemic have also caused tenant dissatisfaction. Prospective renters should weigh the responsive onsite staff against management challenges before deciding.
