Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Joan Cohen reflect a mix of well-maintained and clean properties with generally responsive supers and management, especially notable at locations on Amsterdam and West 56 Streets. Tenants appreciate spacious units, quiet neighborhoods, and effective pest control in many buildings. However, challenges persist in certain older buildings like 370 East 69 Street, where issues such as noisy surroundings, heating problems, aging infrastructure, and sometimes unprofessional super behavior have been noted. Rent increases and leasing transparency have also been points of concern. Overall, management is responsive but could improve tenant relations, maintenance speed, and infrastructure upgrades to enhance living experiences.
