Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Barbara Sackman reveal a mixed management experience. Several properties, notably at 605 West 112 Street and 906 Amsterdam Avenue, are praised for cleanliness, responsive management, well-maintained common areas, and attentive supers. However, some buildings, especially 525 West 49 Street, suffer from severe pest infestations, poor security, broken ventilation, and unaddressed maintenance issues, with management being unresponsive and rent increases frequent. Noise and neighbor disturbances vary widely, sometimes affecting tenant satisfaction. Laundry facilities often face equipment problems and high costs. Overall, management shows strength in maintenance and responsiveness in some buildings, but inconsistent handling of safety and pest control in others.

Great experience living here

Pros

Most stuff was great, I loved our super and the building was nicely maintained.

Cons

My neighbor was unpleasant, but the building was responsive and did their best to manage the situation.

AVOID THIS BUILDING

Pros

large units and what seems like affordable rent until they jack it up insane prices upon your renewal. Hook line and sinker The super is really great.

Cons

The building has a drug ring operating out of a unit on the 1st floor. You will have meth addicts trying to get their fix from the dealer and when they’re turned away because they don’t have enough money they steal your packages from the lobby to sell for cash to buy drugs. The building is NOT SAFE. We moved out because we feared for our safety. The Managment does nothing about it. There is black mold in the bathrooms that gets painted over and no ventilation for the units. The exhaust vents do not work. The rent increases insane amounts and we struggled to pay. STAY AWAY. While we lived here the building had a HORRIBLE roach infestation as well the pest management company that was supposed to come never did. Avoid this building for your health and safety.

Advice to the owners

Fix the safety issue of the building. Install security cameras and a new video intercom system. It is 2026 there is no reason you can’t have these simple features in your building. Replace the ventilation and get proper exhaust fan duct work done to address the black mold.
