Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Martin Newman reveals a mix of positives and significant challenges. Many praise the great East Village locations and responsive, kind supers who address issues promptly. However, cleanliness and garbage management are often criticized, with several buildings described as dirty, with trash buildup attracting rodents. Heating issues are common, with reports of prolonged outages and poor temperature control. Pest problems, particularly mice and rats, are frequently highlighted, sometimes due to building neglect. Management responsiveness varies, though many report slow or absent communication. Noise levels and neighbor experiences fluctuate by building, but frequent construction and security concerns with package theft are notable. Overall, expect attractive locations with large units but prepare for potential maintenance delays, pest issues, and inconsistent management support.
