Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Diane Gipstein reflects a generally well-kept living environment with clean common areas and efficient garbage management. Residents often highlight helpful and responsive staff, especially supers and backup supers, though some report slower response times from key personnel. Heating systems can be inconsistent, sometimes too hot or insufficient, and some buildings require cosmetic updates or better maintenance of exterior and common areas. Noise levels vary due to thin walls and street noise. A notable concern is persistent smoke and chemical odors in select buildings, indicating a need for stricter smoking policies and improved ventilation. Overall, management is seen as approachable but could improve timely repairs and building upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·8 months ago

Small spaces, nice place

Pros

Location is great, multiple trains near by. Love the neighborhood. The supers are pretty helpful but overall take a while to get to things.

Cons

Thin walls, you can hear if neighbors get loud. No laundry.

Advice to the owners

Open garbage chute.

Great UWS apartment and building

Pros

Love our apartment and the location. Clean building and friendly respectful neighbors

Cons

Landlords are not responsive and don’t want to update the building

Advice to the owners

Make small updates throughout the building - replace light outside the building, add an additional washer dryer, put in a new intercom
