Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Renters of Ben Kabashi's buildings note a mix of experiences. Positive aspects include clean and renovated apartments, friendly neighbors, and responsive management—especially in newer units. The building is generally quiet and family-oriented with good water pressure and pest control in upgraded units. However, recurring issues include inconsistent heating, slow or inadequate maintenance responses, security lapses, and a lack of amenities despite premium pricing. Concerns about management favoritism and poor treatment of rent-stabilized tenants also surfaced. While some tenants recommend the buildings for location and design, frustrations with maintenance, safety, and rent hikes suggest room for improved responsiveness and tenant appreciation.

Reviews

Former tenant·39 minutes ago

Good building and great location

Pros

Very clean and newly renovated

Cons

One elevator makes it tough for a move

Former tenant·1 month ago

Very costly for such inattentive service

Pros

The initial look-and-feel of building's design features is very attractive. The neighborhood is a huge plus. The neighbors are mostly wonderful. The building is quiet and family-oriented.

Cons

Many of the appealing high-end appliances work intermittently or partially, and management is extremely slow get things serviced, follow up on results, etc. As other reviewers note, there is no reliable super, and those assigned to either fix things or schedule repairs are often not responsive. Or worse, they minimize tenant experiences. Heating regularly fails throughout much of the building on especially cold days and nights. This occurs year after year, despite widespread tenant complaints. No amends are made through rent reduction. Further, security is a problem since cameras evidently don't work, a front door is often broken for periods of time, and the basement door is sometimes left unlocked. Strangers have been able to prowl the hallways and steal packages from doorsteps as a result of these lapses.

Advice to the owners

Provide the level of service for which you are charging, especially with respect to basics like safety and heating.
