Review Summary for Riverton Square, LLC

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for RIVERTON SQUARE, LLC buildings portrays a mixed management experience. Residents appreciate the well-maintained outdoor spaces, including courtyards and playgrounds, plus responsive heat and water systems. Courteous neighbors and clean, pest-free conditions are noted in some buildings, contributing to a quieter environment. However, ongoing concerns include inconsistent garbage management, occasional security issues with building access doors, and pest control challenges, specifically roach problems. Tenants report variability in management responsiveness, with some citing slow follow-ups and unaddressed maintenance such as broken laundry units. While many recommend these buildings for their community amenities, management could improve in maintenance reliability and enhanced safety measures.

Comfortable apartments with courtyard garden oasis

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building is clean enough (no pests!); elevator; clean laundry room in basement; comfortable apartments; quiet for the most part; plenty of heat in winter; friendly/kind neighbors. The highlight is the large courtyard with seating, tables, trees, and flowers - a gem in the middle of Harlem.

Cons:

Some rowdy visitors; sometimes the building doors don't lock properly and there have been thefts of packages in the building.

Building needs attention

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building is centrally located I. Manhattan

Cons:

Locking Gates leading to the building constantly broken and open. Access doors to the main building are broken as well. There’s always garbage in the basement

Advice to owner:

Make repairs regarding access to keep unwanted people out

Actually the worst

Former Tenant

Pros:

They take out the trash multiple times per day and make sure the lobby is well kept.

Cons:

Update: Besides the water being turned off at random (they place notices up RIGHT BEFORE they turn it off); not reprimanding people for allowing their dogs to poop and not pick it up all around the outside of the complex, AND not bothering to clean it for sometimes a full week; allowing people to make noise in the courtyard at various hours of the night during the summer (regardless of people’s complaints); the laundry units are ALWAYS broken. Not exaggerating in the slightest. It’s bad enough that most buildings split one wash room (containing 5 washers and 5 dryers) between TWO buildings. More than half of the washers will be down one week and the dryers the next but this time half of the dryers have been down for over a month. The leasing office doesn’t respond to calls, emails or in person questions.

Advice to owner:

Get better property managers, leasing office representatives and actually take your tenants complaints seriously.

Not too bad

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building is owned by Riverton which has a few other surround building which are all gated and taken care of ie. Courtyard area that’s maintained and there’s a 24 security.

Cons:

Had an issue with roaches, the most they could do was periodically spray but that didn’t really help toward the end of my stay i was thankful I was moving I have a really low tolerance for pests. Units are not renovated and for the rent price I think they should be.

Advice to owner:

Make sure the units are thoroughly cleaned and do not have roach issues, renovate some of the applicants for the price.

Great building

Former Tenant

Pros:

Quiet, neighbors are friendly most are older and don’t bother. Garbage bins in the service entrance very well kept.

Cons:

Not much saw one bug and never one again.

Riverton square Harlem

Former Tenant

Pros:

Laundry
Elavator
Gated
Good outdoor space

Cons:

Poor pest management

Over 4 years ago

Lived here for 17 years

Former Tenant

Pros:

Riverton is a set of old buildings but there are newer, renovated apartments. The building service crew is nice, the grounds are well maintained, there is laundry in the building, and a new package holding area. There is also a tenant association that holds several events a year, senior center, community garden for the kids as well as a playground and basketball court.

Cons:

The NYC roaches, people are stealing packages now, close to Harlem Hospital so a lot of ambulance noise, and sometimes noisy neighbors.

Advice to owner:

The hallways could be kept cleaner and there can be so more pest control.
