Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Reviews for buildings managed by Robert Seiden reveal a mixed management experience. Some tenants appreciate good locations, spacious units, and generally friendly neighbors, especially in student-heavy buildings. Positive remarks cite well-kept common areas and decent water pressure. However, consistent issues include pest infestations, particularly rats and roaches, poor cleanliness, and frequent maintenance delays. Heating problems and package theft are common complaints, alongside management's sometimes slow or dismissive responsiveness. Several reviews note sketchy loitering and security concerns. While certain buildings may suit students or those valuing affordability, overall management responsiveness and infrastructure upkeep require improvement for better tenant satisfaction.
