Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Jacob Teitelbaum appreciate his responsiveness and timely attention to maintenance issues, especially in older properties located in desirable areas. The buildings tend to offer affordable rent with decent communal spaces and good neighbors, making them suitable for groups or starter apartments. However, several reviews cite the need for renovations, particularly in bathrooms and plumbing systems, and improvements in garbage management. Older building features such as narrow staircases and delivery accessibility present challenges. Overall, management shows a willingness to address concerns, though updating infrastructure and enhancing cleanliness would greatly improve tenant satisfaction.

standard nyc apt

Pros

rent was affordable in a prime location! landlord was very responsive and quick to fix any issues

Cons

older building, narrow staircase, mail and packages can't be delivered if no-one is home to let the mail/amazon/fedex person inside, outdated mini appliances

Former tenant·2 months ago

Great starter apartment for a group of friends, but please renovate

Pros

I liked the communal space. Very ideal for a landing pad for a group of friends to live together.

Cons

I wish the bathrooms were renovated and that there was a better system for taking out the trash, such as providing bins. Also, there were frequent leak incidents.

Advice to the owners

Renovate bathrooms and water pipe system
