Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Gail Rubel reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. Many appreciate the prime Upper East Side locations, responsive supers, and well-secured entry doors. Cleanliness, especially in common areas, varies significantly, with some pointing out persistent dirtiness and pest issues. Management responsiveness receives mixed reviews—some find it timely, while others describe it as slow or unhelpful, relying heavily on the super for communication. Noise from external sources and occasional package thefts are concerns. Rent prices are considered reasonable for the area, yet several recommend updates and better maintenance to address aging infrastructure and improve tenant experience.

Former tenant·1 month ago

Decent starter apartment

Pros

The rent was pretty cheap when I first moved in ($2400 for 2 bed). Also the location is fantastic. Super close to the park, stores, and subway lines.

Cons

Building wasn’t well maintained. Pests in the hallways. Workers from nearby stores would sit on the stoop and smoke for long periods of time.

Advice to the owners

Keep the hallway cleaner
