Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by 493 2ND LLC reveals significant management deficiencies. Residents consistently report unresponsive and inattentive management and superintendents, leading to unresolved maintenance issues and delayed service. Cleanliness and pest control are major concerns, with frequent rat and roach infestations and poor garbage management. Noise levels are high due to thin walls and disruptive neighbors, contributing to an uncomfortable living environment. Safety worries are also noted, with reports of drug activity and homelessness around the building. Overall, renters do not recommend these buildings, citing neglectful management and a lack of accountability.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Terrible management, smelly, unsafe, revolving door of supers

Pros

There is a target across the street

Cons

Management will never answer you. I’ve had 6 superintendents within my one year of living here. The walls are paper-thin and the Jamaican place next door is SO loud — you will think you moved into a nightclub. 80% of the time you exit the building there will be a homeless person sleeping on the step or someone selling drugs

Advice to the owners

Do better

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Bad management + rats + roaches + garbage + noise

Pros

decent looking building. washer/dryer and dishwasher.

Cons

thin thin thin walls - can hear everything. roaches and rats. Big and small roaches. Rats galore in the backyard and sometimes they venture inside. They are all over in the basement. Mice in some units too. management is non responsive and generally just downright crook. They will never fix anything. Management will also try to raise your rent an unreasonable amount upon lease expiration. We are talking $1100 additional on a glorified studio apartment.

Advice to the owners

sell to a real landlord.
