Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Reviews for buildings managed by Jacob Sacks indicate significant management issues across the board, with many tenants expressing dissatisfaction regarding maintenance responsiveness and building conditions. Common complaints include substantial pest problems, ineffective heating systems leading to exorbitant electric bills, and inadequate overall cleanliness. Tenants frequently note the lack of urgency in addressing maintenance requests, and several report feeling unsafe due to issues like broken locks and security concerns.

Pretty cool building with some huge problems

Pros

Great location, pretty quiet building itself. The 1st floor tenants have backyard space and the top floor has roof access with a great view. Convenient laundry in the basement. Nice, young neighbors.

Cons

The electricity bills are absolutely insane. There is no gas heat for the building so electricity bills have been well over $600 PER MONTH in the winter. Major issues on this block including drug dealers and users that hang out openly in front of this building and the abandoned building directly across the street. The app to submit issues with the building is super buggy and they're not very responsive.

Advice to the owners

Do something to address the absolutely absurd electricity bills.
