Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Buildings managed by Reuven Ben Shabat show mixed tenant experiences. Many residents find apartments spacious and appreciate responsive management and pet-friendly, family-oriented environments. Several buildings feature good heat, water pressure, and reasonable pest control. However, noise issues are a recurring complaint, particularly near bars or highways, affecting sleep quality. Garbage management and cleanliness vary, with some locations reported poorly maintained. While some residents praise the landlord’s responsiveness, others feel maintenance could be more thorough. Overall, prospective renters should expect attentive but inconsistent management, with notable challenges in noise control and building upkeep depending on the location.

Advice to the owners

Fix the noise issue

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Great apartment terrible noise

Pros

Landlord is very easy to deal with, responsive, apartment was cheap backyard is great.

Cons

The bar downstairs is louder than anything you have experienced. If you are in the smaller room or living room, the bass from the bar downstairs will shake the room from 11 pm to 4:30 am. You will not be able to sleep without earplugs. I am a very heavy sleeper, grew up in nyc and some nights were still too loud. The owner of the bar is nice, but won’t do anything to make the noise better. The room facing the highway is not too bad with noise but you get truck passing vibrations.
