Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants consistently praise the buildings managed by Barbara Gertel Goltzer for their friendly and attentive doormen, spacious apartments, and quiet, neighborly atmosphere, particularly at the West End Avenue addresses. Management is generally responsive and supportive, ensuring clean, pest-controlled environments with well-maintained amenities like laundry rooms. However, some renters note occasional issues with heating irregularities, persistent scaffolding, slow non-emergency maintenance, and policies like fees for AC units and restrictions on lease flexibility. A few tenants report concerns about landlord attitude and upkeep in certain buildings. Overall, expect a well-staffed, professionally managed living experience with room for improvements in building updates and communication.

Reviews

Lovely place to live on the UWS

Pros

Doormen are absolutely incredible, landlord is very kind, living areas are spacious for the price and it’s very close to the red line express, and no noise problems.

Cons

Only issue is that the heat sometimes feels like it’s lacking in the winter, but not to an extreme degree.
