Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by LANCASTER STUDIO ASSOCIATES LLC reveals a mixed to largely negative experience focused on one primary location, 936 West End Avenue. While the location is praised for its convenience and affordability, highlighted by some timely lease approvals, renters commonly report serious issues with building maintenance. Persistent pest infestations, unclean hallways, and unreliable heat or water features frustrate residents. Many criticize the superintendent as unresponsive or rude, compounding the perception of inadequate management responsiveness. Several renters advise comprehensive renovations and a change in management to address safety and upkeep concerns, indicating that overall property care and tenant communication require significant improvement.

Pros

Former tenant·4 months ago

Decent for the price but not the best

Pros

Good location; near shops along Broadway. Relatively affordable and great for students. Some units are fully furnished, which is great for short-term stays / internationals.

Cons

No in-building laundry. The unit could use some major renovation, as you can see, with small details like cracks and peeling floor varnish. The building access machine could be upgraded to allow packages to be dropped off even when the no one is in.

Advice to the owners

Major renovations to the building and the units.
