Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings under Jerry Edelman show a mixed management reputation. Several residents praise responsive management, secure premises, and well-maintained apartments, especially at 553 West 144 Street and 343 Saint Nicholas Avenue, where pest control and heating are often cited positively. However, some tenants report issues like poor front desk service, pest problems, inconsistent garbage management, and occasional dismissive or rude interactions from staff. Certain buildings have noise fluctuations and maintenance delays. Notable complaints include unfair rent practices, lack of warmth from management, and strict, unusual building rules at some locations. Overall, expect generally attentive management but prepare for variability depending on the building.

the ugly truth

Pros

close to train

Cons

pest issue, poor managemeny, cheap landlord, and unless you are white and willing to pay upwards of 3k for an apartment in Harlem they will not treat you right or give you respectable living conditions. has been harrassing rent stabalized tenants to make space for nyc transplants

Former tenant·10 months ago

biggest kitchen I've ever seen in a nyc apartment in my budget

Pros

Superintendent is the sweetest, super helpful & responsive, and always has eyes on the cameras. Apartment is so nice for the price, had brand new appliances when we moved in and craaaazy amount of counter space. Like 10 feet of counter. It's crazy. Pest control comes every month. Water pressure is great, radiators make the classic white noise and keep it warm. Building is mostly folks whose families have been here for years, which makes us want to be one of those families.

Cons

I love everything about it honestly, but wouldn't recommend it to a college freshman who grew up in the suburbs and has never encountered block parties or a diversity of cultural backgrounds (which is a pro for me but might be a con for you)
