Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants under BARRY KIRSHENBAUM report inconsistent experiences across buildings. While some apartments offer spaciousness, affordable rent, and attentive supers, common issues include noise disturbances from problematic neighbors, pest infestations (notably mice), heating failures in winter, and frequent leaks. Garbage management is generally moderate to poor with occasional complaints about cleanliness. Responsiveness varies widely; some tenants praise timely management, while others face slow or minimal repairs. Overall, renters advise enhancing noise enforcement, hiring reliable supers, and improving maintenance and pest control to provide better living conditions. Prospective tenants should expect mixed management quality depending on the specific building.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Worst neighbors I've ever had

Pros

The apartment itself was nice and spacious, a few problems but nothing unexpected. The Super is very good.

Cons

The loudest, most horrible neighbors I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. From 6am-10pm. If it isn't music blasting from somewhere constantly, it's someone's child stomping non-stop, literally shaking your apartment from above. Don't hang any pictures up, the shaking will cause them to fall!

Advice to the owners

Figure out how to enforce noise ordinances!

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

I was an idiot

Pros

Cheap rent. Close to subway lines.

Cons

The neighbors are soooo loud. They party all day and night on the warm days. Mice run like crazy and you can't have pets. Things break and they don't get fixed. The super is never around and calling him achieves nothing. I've had at least one ceiling leak every year.

Advice to the owners

Hire a new super. Fix your property.
