Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Dwayne Townsend show a mix of strong points and concerns. Tenants commend the cleanliness, well-maintained common areas, and helpful super/staff, highlighting responsive management in some cases. Amenities like in-building laundry, fitness centers, and good water pressure are appreciated. However, persistent issues include roof repairs dragging on, ineffective pest control (especially mice), package theft, and noisy neighbors. Some residents feel management’s responsiveness varies, with calls for better security measures, empathy, and facility upkeep, especially regarding the rooftop terrace and gym closures. Overall, expect a generally well-maintained property but with some management and amenity challenges.

Reviews

beautiful, well-maintained building

Pros

— clean and well-maintained building — responsive management — great super and staff

Cons

— roof renovations have been on and off for 2 years — roof leakage had resulted in mold (management dealt with remediation efforts)

Mixed feelings here

Pros

The building is fairly new and well-maintained. Centralized AC and strong water pressure. Spacious apartments with plenty of closet space. In-building washer and dryer, package room, fitness center, dog-washing room, storage space, and parking. The super, Dwayne, is amazing—always available and very helpful.

Cons

The rooftop terrace, which was once a great amenity, has been destroyed and has never been repaired. Persistent mouse issue for over a year. While management has sent disinfestation services whenever requested, the problem was never resolved. Tenants are not allowed to hire outside pest control without building approval. The building used to be rent-stabilized, but units are now going out of rent stabilization—contrary to what is written on StreetEasy. This means rents can spike significantly whenever tenants change.

Advice to the owners

Invest in restoring the rooftop terrace and implementing a more effective, building-wide pest control plan
