Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for AVI STERN's buildings reveals a mixed management experience. Some residents praise the landlord for timely responsiveness, especially in addressing maintenance issues like pest control and maintaining a quiet, family-friendly environment. Others express significant frustration with poor communication methods, slow or ineffective responses to pest infestations, and unhelpful building staff, notably the live-in super. Cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent across units, and heating systems vary in reliability. Rent stabilization is a noted benefit in some locations, but persistent concerns about unresolved repairs and management accessibility suggest room for improvement in tenant relations and building upkeep.

Too good to be true

Pros

Rent stabilized, good value. Spacious.

Cons

Management hard to reach - landline only. Impossible to get ahold of. There is an ongoing roach infestation in one of the units that they have yet to resolve. Impacting units below and next to it. One unit has a permanent smoke smell - multiple tenants moved out within the year. Another unit got flooded 11 times - they’ve done nothing to warn / fix the issue with the problem t

Great Pre war, needs some upgrades

Pros

Our recently updated kitchen had lots of gaps behind the cabinets which led to us having a mouse problem. However, the management was very responsive and fixed it soon after. Super also lives in building and is very nice and accessible.

Cons

No air conditioning, but hey, it’s new york
