Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Barry Gottehrer reveal consistent issues with management responsiveness and building maintenance. Common complaints include unaddressed pest infestations, recurring heat outages during winter, overflowing garbage areas, and frequent package theft. Although some units are spacious and rent-stabilized, tenants report poor communication from management and a lack of timely repairs, often forcing residents to escalate issues legally. Neighbors are generally described as friendly, and some buildings feature decent water pressure and laundry facilities. Overall, renters should be prepared for challenges with upkeep and management engagement in these properties.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Lots of problems

Pros

Rent stabilized units

Cons

Horrible pest management. Years ago when there were several bed bug cases they hired the worst possible pest control company. Heat went out in the winter for weeks at a time. You can hear rats running through the walls. Super is incredibly unresponsive. Garbage area is often overflowing. Packages always stolen. Hallways are not kept clean.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

The owners are terrible

Pros

My apartment was spacious - heat was ample and the water pressure was good

Cons

Management did not reply to complaints - we had several litigations. The elevator broke down frequently and would not be repaired for weeks. There were tenants that created huge issues and the owners did nothing about it

Advice to the owners

Stop being a slumlord
