Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by Robert Kantor experience a stark contrast in management quality. Some properties, such as those on Amsterdam Avenue and West 10th Street, receive praise for responsive superintendents, friendly neighbors, cleanliness, and quiet environments, often highlighted for good community and pet-friendliness. However, several buildings, notably on Thompson Street and Hudson Street, suffer from persistent pest infestations (bed bugs, rats, roaches), noise issues, poor garbage management, and outdated or poorly maintained infrastructure. Complaints frequently mention unresponsive or negligent building management and slow owner response, particularly regarding urgent repairs. Overall, expect mixed management experiences with notable improvements needed in pest control, noise abatement, and consistent maintenance.

Trauma first apartment

Pros

Location & windows

Cons

Bed bugs, negligent super, mice/rats, mold. I wouldn’t wish my experiences here on my worst enemy. Lobby was flooding for 4+ months - BUCKETS of water and ceiling was nearly caved in. If there is an emergency within the overpriced apartment you’re paying for, forget it, especially if it’s not within their business hours.
