Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants under Michael Kessler's management generally experience well-maintained, clean buildings with attentive and friendly staff, especially doormen and maintenance teams. Many praise quick responses to service requests and appreciate amenities, though some note fees for gym and package services. Quiet neighborhoods and great views are common highlights. However, there are recurring issues with elevator maintenance, occasional pest concerns, and building wear in high-use areas. Some buildings suffer from unresponsive management with security and noise problems, particularly in Bronx locations, leading to dissatisfaction and safety concerns. Overall, management tends to excel in upscale Brooklyn properties but struggles with consistency and tenant communication in other buildings.
