Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Jacob Hager's buildings show a wide spectrum of tenant experiences but tend to struggle with consistent maintenance and pest control issues. While some tenants praise responsive supers and a generally affordable living environment with good neighbors and cleanliness in select buildings, many report chronic problems such as roach and rodent infestations, heating failures, poor garbage management, and slow or unresponsive management communication. Security concerns like package theft and occasional neglect of repairs, including water leaks and unsafe conditions, are notable. Overall, management often appears reactive rather than proactive, leading to frustration. Prospective renters should weigh the trade-offs carefully, expecting variability in upkeep and responsiveness across properties.

Updated Review after years

Pros

We have stayed here for years because the rent has been very cheap.

Cons

Beyond the cosmetic issues the overall management of the building has gotten worse over the years. It was pretty bad initially, ownership was difficult to contact and we kept having leaks and issues with extreme pest control. The heat has gotten much worse, this had been the only plus but now this is no longer a factor and there are still major leaks and pest issues. Management just does not care, they know its cheap and will only improve the bare minimum.

Advice to the owners

Your decision to stop appropriately heating the unit is negatively affecting tenants

Well maintained building

Pros

- Awesome super who is very helpful, friendly, and personable - Awesome trash maintenance - Conveniently located - Great neighbors (long time residents) - Elevator building (when working)

Cons

- Dealt with some roaches (never an infestation) - Had a mouse once - Someunits in the building were not as well maintained (leaks, cracks in the plaster, sink issues, etc.) - Dealt with some persistent mold due to poor bathroom ventilation - Elevator was often broken

Advice to the owners

Management is very hands off - never interfaced with landlord (slumlord type). Only interfaced with awesome supers. Not very attentive unless complaint is made if it is a big repair that is needed.
