Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Amit Attar presents a mixed picture. Some residents praise the favorable locations, responsive management, well-maintained heating, and good neighborly environment, noting clean garbage management and strong water pressure. However, concerns are raised about prolonged and unauthorized construction causing water damage and black mold issues, poor communication about changes, and inconsistent cleanliness in common areas. Pest control efforts appear uneven, with calls for more regular treatment. While many appreciate attentive superintendents and cosmetic upgrades, others urge better permit compliance and more transparency. Prospective renters should expect variability in maintenance responsiveness depending on the building.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Great First Apartment in NYC

Pros

Location and neighborhood, building maintenance, neighbors, responsive super

Cons

Unnecessary cosmetic improvements, occasional pests, packages stolen during construction. During my first year living here there were boiler problems throughout the winter but these have since been resolved and had no issues this year.

Advice to the owners

Go back to regular pest management throughout the building

Former tenant·6 months ago

Illegal construction, unresponsive management

Pros

Good location, generally quiet block, cosmetic improvements (e.g. new paint, light fixtures) to common areas over past year, heat generally well-maintained.

Cons

Ongoing construction for more than a year that converted 8+ rent stabilized studio apartments into 2 bed/2 bath units without any permits nor any communication re: construction to tenants with the exception of frequent water shut-offs. Poorly done/sloppily managed construction caused at least 3 leaks in 2 units (with rent stabilized tenants) during 2023 + 2024. Management refused to have a specialist treat visible black mold resulting from water damage. New amenities (e.g. basement gym) were added to the building in 2023-early 2024 which Livingston did not notify rent stabilized tenants of nor give us access to. Common areas were rarely cleaned (occasionally mopped by construction crews when there were significant amounts of saw dust + debris), hallways and stairs are normally visibily dusty and dirty.

Advice to the owners

Get permits for construction + communicate plans with tenants. Clean common areas on a regular basis. When your contractors cause damage to tenants' apartments, address it promptly and properly.
