Review Summary for Knickerbocker Plaza, LLC

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by KNICKERBOCKER PLAZA, LLC consistently praises the cleanliness, well-maintained common areas, and the friendly, attentive doormen and maintenance staff who respond quickly to issues. Residents appreciate included utilities and convenient amenities like in-building laundry and package rooms. However, management responsiveness receives mixed reviews, with some tenants finding leasing office communication slow and requesting more attentive problem resolution. Occasional elevator and laundry facility issues were noted. Neighborly environments vary, and noise levels are generally moderate. Overall, management demonstrates commitment to upkeep and tenant care, though improved leasing communication and facility maintenance could enhance the rental experience.

Solid apartments in well-run building

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building staff are excellent. They really take care of the building and tenants. My apartment was in great condition and any issues were resolved quickly, within an hour or two.

Cons:

Leasing office is kind of incompetent. Only two elevators on one side of the building and when building staff put one of them out of service for trash collection or people moving, it can take a while to get an elevator.

Advice to owner:

Hire better leasing office staff

I loved the doorman here. Really personable and safe. The young ones are often irresponsible but can get around that. Elevator speed and place
was always clean. Maintenance responds quick.
