Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Solomon Jacobs points to a consistent pattern of management shortcomings. Residents note poor cleanliness and garbage management, coupled with frequent pest issues and inconsistent maintenance, including recurring leaks and delayed repairs. Responsiveness from the owner is often slow, requiring tenants to persistently follow up for resolution. While units may offer spacious layouts and good locations near transit and nightlife, high rents and lack of amenities diminish value. Noise from surrounding bars can be disruptive, and package theft has been reported. Overall, management is viewed as unresponsive and maintenance as reactive rather than proactive.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Overpriced unless you love nightlife

Pros

This apartment building is conveniently located near the L train and close to many nightlife venues.

Cons

The building is generally poorly maintained and the management is pretty unresponsive. The front facing apartments are loud with multiple bars across the street. Package theft is relatively common. Rent is high for what you are getting and there are NO amenities in the units, laundry, dishwashers, storage space, etc.

Repeated Pest Problems and 5 major ceiling Leaks

Pros

Good location, unit well priced for size, no problems with neighbors largely

Cons

You must pester management to have anything dealt with here. I had mice problems for 4+ weeks and they kept sending the super in until I demanded real pest control. Then I had a series of leaks a year later--rusted out pipes in the ceiling burst 5 times in 3 different locations, soaking my things in bathwater from the upstairs tenant. Again had to harass management to get cleaning and replacements paid for, $ off rent, an actual plumber in. They also kept stiffing supers so the super changed 3+ times. DO NOT LIVE IN THIS BUILDING.
