Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Isaac Jacobs reveal a mixed management experience. While some tenants appreciate spacious floorplans, convenient location, and good amenities, many express frustration with management's responsiveness and treatment of renters. Common issues include noise disturbances, disrespectful neighbors, insufficient soundproofing, pest complaints, and maintenance challenges. Garbage management and cleanliness receive varied ratings, with some noting poor upkeep. Although a few tenants commend the building super and certain features, others criticize strict building rules and feel management prioritizes profits over tenant welfare. Prospective renters should be aware of these management inconsistencies and community challenges before committing.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Nice floorplans - crooked management

Pros

Unique and spacious layouts. Some nice amenities.

Cons

The management company are a bunch of thieves and difficult to deal with. Soundproofing of the apartments to the interior hallways and between apartments is not sufficient. Several tenants are disrespectful: playing loud music, constantly smoking weed, overloading garbage rooms and not managing their pets appropriately. We had to ultimately take the landlord/management company to court to recoup our security deposit which they had no right to keep.

Advice to the owners

Develop a conscience and stop treating your tenants so poorly.

Nice but cost utilities

Pros

Washer dryer hookup option in some units, lots of amenities

Cons

Expensive utility Bill, packages tend to not get delivered bc access to building in evening is not regulated as during say, $200/month fee for all building amenities

Advice to the owners

Great building just wish utilities would get straightened out
