Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Hagai Barlev reveal mixed experiences. Positives include rent stabilization, convenient locations near parks and transit, and generally quiet, friendly neighbors. However, significant issues are reported with building management, including inconsistent hot water, poor heating in winter, and inadequate pest control leading to rodent problems. Garbage management quality varies, sometimes contributing to infestations. Responsiveness from the owner and superintendents is inconsistent; some tenants appreciate timely fixes, while others report feeling unsafe and ignored after raising concerns. Overall, while some appreciate the affordability and location, management and maintenance shortcomings impact tenant satisfaction, suggesting room for improving responsiveness and building upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Love this place!

Pros

Lived here for a few years and haven’t had any major issues that haven’t been fixed. Rent stabilized, nice neighbors and haven’t had any rodents or bugs move in. On a quiet street across from the park

Cons

Have had some issues with hot water and water pressure but management usually addresses anything you bring to them

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

violent retaliation to complaints about lack of hot water

Pros

location was right next to a good park, and close to CUNY and the subway; the rent was a bit less expensive than comparable units in other buildings

Cons

regularly did not have hot water (or would take between 2-15 minutes after turning on the faucet); neighbors had heat issues that led at least one to go a whole winter without working heat; super (Eric) was incompetent and threatened violence from himself and his friends when we kept complaining about the lack of hot water; property owner supported the super after these interactions. We were ready to take them to housing court, but we decided that it wasn't worth continuing to feel unsafe, so we broke our lease and moved out. By the way, it's definitely a red flag that the owners use many business names to obscure where their money comes from, including Duna Real Estate, Orion Investments, PGLB LLC, and PGLB I LLC, even though it all seemed to tie back to Hagai Barlev, Lee Baum, and Uzy & Amit Evron
