Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Menachem Halberstam indicate a mixed experience with management. While buildings often feature spacious apartments, good structural qualities, and friendly neighbors, there are recurring issues with maintenance responsiveness, pest control, and aging infrastructure in some properties. Garbage management is generally decent, but heating and water pressure can vary. Tenants appreciate attentive supers when present but cite slow or insufficient landlord engagement in addressing repairs and tenant concerns. Rent increases have caused dissatisfaction, especially when conditions have not been improved. Overall, expect a decent living space with some management delays and ongoing need for infrastructure upgrades.
