Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Steven Hoffman reveal a consistently positive tenant experience with highly praised doormen and friendly, attentive staff who foster a welcoming community atmosphere. Management is noted for being responsive to maintenance issues, with prompt repairs and helpful online services. However, renters express recurring concerns regarding pest control effectiveness, occasional heating and cooling system limitations, and small trash chute capacity. Noise levels vary depending on apartment location, reflecting the urban setting. While rent increases and infrastructure aging receive some criticism, tenants generally appreciate the cleanliness, security, and overall management, making it a desirable living option.

love it here

Pros

spacious units, huge windows, laundry room and elevator are always working without issue, super responsive building management, the coolest doormen, heat and cold air come on at reasonable times, no pests or bedbugs, been 2 years here and i've loved it

Cons

i wish the trash chute was bigger so we didn't have to go around to the back of the building to take out the trash. otherwise truly zero issues

Good Building & Friendly Staff

Pros

Convenient location. I face the back of the building so it's not as noisy as 8th Ave but I can still hear honking/sirens and garbage trucks. Large windows with sunlight. Good water pressure. Laundry in basement ($3.15 for wash & dry, paid by laundry card or app). 24/7 doormen are friendly and receive packages. Repairs are addressed quickly. Online portal for reserving the elevator, maintenance requests, and building bulletin board. Heat & hot water included in rent. Online portal for rent.

Cons

Management is somewhat unresponsive. The building controls when to switch from heat to A/C. It's May and my room is reaching 85+ and the building refuses to turn on A/C. No temperature control for the heater so you must turn it on/off manually. Tiny trash chute on each floor and people leave large bags of trash in the trash room which attracts pests. All 3 elevators are slow and one is often used as a service elevator. Building often shuts off water for repairs. Shower drainage is poor and often gets clogged. Moving is only allowed M-F 9-5.
