Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Richard Kessler reveals a mix of positive amenities and management challenges. Residents consistently praise the friendly and attentive staff, responsive management, and convenient locations with excellent transit access. Buildings feature modern appliances, gyms, rooftop spaces, and secure entries, contributing to a generally comfortable living experience. However, concerns persist around noise due to thin walls, occasional pest issues, and security lapses, with some tenants reporting ineffective enforcement of no-smoking policies and noisy or disruptive neighbors. While many appreciate management’s efforts, a notable portion call for improved pest control, better security staffing, and greater responsiveness to tenant complaints.

Reviews

Former tenant·6 minutes ago

Convenient location, good amenities, thin walls

Pros

Apartments have nice new appliances, great natural light, decent layouts. Building staff is fantastic across the board, and they do a great job keeping the building in great shape. Gym and rooftop are fantastic. Access to transit can’t be beat

Cons

Thin walls, can hear neighbors at times. Lots of construction happening in downtown Brooklyn as well.

Former tenant·9 months ago

Avoid at all costs

Pros

The building staff are super friendly and try their best, but management is horrible!

Cons

Management is horrible! Building had roach infestation and people smoking cigarettes despite it being a non smoking building and management was unable to address either problem.

Advice to the owners
