Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Francine Lefrak reveals significant management challenges. Renters consistently report poor responsiveness from management, inadequate heating, pest issues, and outdated infrastructure requiring urgent renovation. Despite being in quiet neighborhoods, tenants face thin walls, noisy old flooring, and small elevators. Garbage management receives mixed reviews, but cleanliness and maintenance are commonly criticized. Rent hikes in supposedly rent-stabilized buildings cause concern, and unhelpful superintendents add to tenant frustrations. Overall, renters do not recommend these buildings, urging for better affordability, improved repairs, heating, and tenant protections to enhance livability under current management.
