Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants under Helen Spitzer's management find buildings generally clean and well-kept, with responsive and helpful supers who quickly address maintenance issues. Many appreciate the quiet, friendly neighbors and the comfort of rent-stabilized units. However, some experience challenges such as occasional noise, water damage, pest issues, and aging infrastructure like weaker water pressure and heating in certain properties. Concerns include inconsistent owner responsiveness and management transparency around rent stabilization. Suggestions for improvement include better oversight of disruptive tenants, enhanced building upkeep, and added amenities such as laundry facilities. Overall, management is viewed as attentive but could benefit from increased consistency and infrastructure upgrades.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Practical and comfy

Pros

Super in building, hes very nice and responsive. A lot of people in building been here many years and very friendly. Any work that needs done they come right away to fix! Pretty quiet building for the most part, once and a while people being loud. Building is old so sometimes heat is not too powerful nor is water pressure. But for rent stabilized it is comfortable

Cons

There are a few strange neighbors that make noise

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

So far so good

Pros

Water is good, Heating is proper, Garbage is taken out on time, Washing Machine on building

Cons

The elevator could be a little bit cleaner. From time to time, there is water on the floor in the basement where the washing machines are due to rain.
