Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Recent reviews for buildings managed by Barry Apfelbaum present a mixed picture. Tenants value the prime locations, responsive supers in some buildings, and pet-friendly policies. However, common issues include inconsistent maintenance, pest infestations, and poorly maintained common areas. Garbage management quality varies widely across properties, as do heating and water pressure standards. Several reviews describe unprofessional or even hostile management behavior, including allegations of neglect and inadequate communication. Safety concerns, such as broken locks, and delays in repairs frustrate residents. While some tenants approve of the management and recommend staying, others strongly advise caution and urge improvements in management professionalism and building upkeep.
