Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

The buildings managed by Jacob Stromer tend to be older structures with a desirable location and pleasant neighbors, yet they show significant signs of aging and maintenance challenges. Tenants report issues such as pest infestations, deteriorating building integrity, malfunctioning doors, and occasional water pressure problems. While some maintenance concerns are addressed, overall responsiveness and proactive upkeep appear inconsistent. The management is seen as doing patchwork rather than thorough renovations, which affects tenant satisfaction. Prospective renters should be prepared for the building's dated condition and weigh the trade-off between location and building quality when considering these properties.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Old building, management does not care about the building

Pros

Good location and the neighbors are nice.

Cons

The building's doors do not work. Management only does patchwork on problems in the building. There are pests, roaches, and the building is falling apart.

Advice to the owners

Steer clear of this building. They clearly do not care about maintaining it, and it is not worth the hassle.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Very old building. Incredible location

Pros

Location. This is my favorite block on the upper west side. I never want to leave.

Cons

We have had collapsed ceilings in multiple locations in the apartment. While things were addressed in a timely manner, the integrity of the building is falling apart.
