Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of Lawrence Andelsman's buildings report mixed experiences with management responsiveness and maintenance. Positives include generally clean and updated apartments with good heating and water pressure, alongside attentive landlord communication. However, pest issues—especially bed bugs, cockroaches, rats, and mice—pose significant problems in some buildings, impacting tenant satisfaction. Garbage management and noise levels vary, though some locations are praised for quietness and neighborly atmospheres. Rent stabilization status is inconsistent. Tenants advise more proactive pest control efforts and better upkeep of problem areas like ceilings and heating systems. Overall, management shows willingness to respond but must enhance pest mitigation and maintenance follow-through.

Former tenant·10 months ago

Low Rent and Bed Bugs

Pros

My apartment was beautiful! Hard wood floors, brand new kitchen appliances, great windows. The landlord was quick to respond to issues. I was given my full security deposit back.

Cons

Bed bugs! I was not told before moving in about bed bug history. The person who lived there before me had bed bugs and multiple others in the building and next door had/have them, too. There were also a lot of cockroaches in the whole building, termites on the ground floor, rats in the basement, laundry machines were always broken, and landlord refused to turn up the heat. My apartment was regularly around 58 degrees in the winter.

Advice to the owners

Please help the older gentlemen who live in the building with cleaning. This might deter pests.
