Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Susan Ben reflects a mixture of functional amenities like elevators, laundry rooms, and bike storage, coupled with recurring issues in management and upkeep. While some tenants appreciate the neighborhood and building features, many express frustration over slow or dismissive responses to maintenance requests, inadequate garbage management, and persistent pest problems. Noise due to thin walls and subpar insulation is often noted. Management's communication is frequently described as unprofessional or even hostile, with several tenants reporting delays in deposit returns and feeling misled during leasing. Overall, expect some building conveniences but prepare for management challenges and maintenance delays.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Well designed but poorly maintained

Pros

-Trash chute/recycling/laundry on each floor -Elevator -Good number of outlets in unit and well sized closets

Cons

-Management is slow to fix issues and says they are not responsible for some of the appliances in the apartment -Apartments are not well insulated so noise between units is typical and rooms can get very hot in the summer -Paint used in units is flat and shows scuffs/marks easily and is impossible to clean

Advice to the owners

Fire Susan (current manager) and pay for real cleaners/super to take out trash regularly and maintain common spaces

Former tenant·5 months ago

Rude and unresponsive management!

Pros

The neighbors are lovely, both inside and outside the building itself. The building is rent-stabilized and has an elevator, which is great. I've never had any issues with pests, but I think people who live on lower floors have at times.

Cons

The laundry (esp. washing) machines are almost always broken, and management is rude and dismissive about it. Getting this and other problems fixed is always a huge hassle, as they always take forever to reply, even if you follow up multiple times.
