Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Salvatore Galofaro reveal a mixed management experience. Positive remarks often mention cleanliness, pest control, and generally responsive staff, especially at buildings like 306 78 Street in Brooklyn. Tenants value quiet surroundings and friendly neighbors. However, multiple severe complaints arise from the 172 East 89 Street property in Manhattan, highlighting pest infestations, poor garbage management, weak water pressure, insufficient heat, and unresponsive or dismissive landlord behavior including alleged harassment. Some tenants warn about rent stabilization issues that were misrepresented. Prospective renters should expect variability in management quality depending on the building, with significant concerns to consider at certain Manhattan locations.
