Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by 538 W 50 LLC reveal a mix of positives and areas needing improvement. Tenants appreciate responsive management, calm neighbors overall, and resolved past pest issues. Garbage is regularly removed, and heating generally works well. However, cleanliness in common areas like lobbies and basements often falls short, and occasional pests still emerge. Water pressure and laundry maintenance receive mixed feedback, with machines sometimes broken. Noise complaints are minimal except in rare cases. Communication during maintenance could be more proactive. Overall, management shows responsiveness but would benefit from enhanced cleaning routines and more vigilant issue handling to elevate tenant satisfaction.

Decent Building for Price

Pros

Pest problems have seemingly disappeared in recent years and owners are responsive. Garbage is taken out regularly

Cons

There have been several water pressure issues over the years though the building usually fixes within a couple days. Communication when this happens is often delayed. Serious rat problem in basement a few years ago but haven’t seen any in about 2 years. Entryway and basement always pretty dirty but improved from recent years.

Advice to the owners

More proactive communication to tenants when maintenance (planned or emergency ) occurs. More thorough cleaning of the lobby, basement, and roof common areas would go a long way
