Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Abe Stein reveals persistent issues including poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage and pest control, and insufficient heating, especially in colder months. Many tenants highlight disturbances from noise and problematic neighbors, with occasionally inconsistent water pressure. Management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or unhelpful, with some tenants reporting unfair financial practices and harassment. Security concerns such as package theft and lack of proper building supervision are common. While some appreciate features like pet allowance and secure entry, the overall sentiment suggests a need for improved maintenance, transparency, and professional management to create a safer and more comfortable living environment.

Scammy Landlord Uses Alias

Pros

It has nice light. Good water pressure. Liked the hardwood floors.

Cons

Landlord charged me extra on my first month (he prorated from date of signing, not when I received my keys). He’s using an alias to rent because he was previously convicted for harassing tenants and trying to illegally evict them. Harassed me, even though I paid my rent on time every month. Building has a roach problem that the landlord won’t do anything about. Packages are consistently stolen and there was no doorbell/buzzer to know when deliveries were downstairs. Walls are so thin you can hear your neighbor fart. Nightmare of a building that was extremely overpriced.

Advice to the owners

Stop renting, sell your properties

Not responsible owner

Pros

Only like roommates, they were cool.

Cons

The owner who initially ask for the deposit then went ahead and kept it without letting me know that it’s a not refundable. The place is trash if they don’t like you. They aren’t very trustworthy people.

Advice to the owners

Be a grown up and refund people who you cheat money deposit off.
