Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for Philip Widlanski's buildings reveal a highly mixed living experience. While some appreciate the prime Upper West Side locations, pet-friendly atmosphere, and occasional well-maintained common areas with responsive management, many express strong dissatisfaction. Common issues include poor cleanliness, pest problems, inadequate garbage management, and noisy, poorly maintained apartments. A recurring concern is the landlord’s lack of responsiveness and perceived neglect, leading to tenant frustration. Rent increases also sparked complaints. Prospective tenants should expect variable conditions with potential management unresponsiveness but valued neighbors and proximity to the park in some buildings. Improvements in maintenance and communication are needed for a better rental experience.
