Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by Shlome Reifer reveals a mixed management performance. Positives include friendly, long-term neighbors in some locations, presence of live-in and responsive supers, occasional cleanliness, and good water pressure and heating in certain buildings. Several properties offer rent stabilization and family-friendly environments with decent amenities. However, a recurring theme is poor garbage management leading to pest infestations, notably rats and cockroaches, along with inadequate pest control efforts.

Overall, buildings may require significant improvements in upkeep, communication, and pest control to meet expectations.

Pros

Neighbors are nice, most have lived here a while. Elevator in building. There is a tenants association which has helped the building get regular cleaning each week

Cons

The trash in the trash section outside builds up a lot. This leads to a lot of rats in the trash. There are cockroaches in the building even though a service comes to spray each month, they leave so quickly if you don’t answer the door right away.
