Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Benzion Morgenstern generally find the management responsive and kind, particularly praising timely handling of maintenance and pest control in several locations. Buildings are often conveniently located with good transportation access and modern amenities like laundry facilities, rooftop access, and updated appliances. However, some residents report inconsistent garbage management, occasional maintenance delays, and communication lapses. Noise from neighbors and street can be present but is often balanced by a friendly community atmosphere. While some units lack advertised features such as central AC or in-unit laundry, overall residents recommend the buildings, appreciating attentive management and improvements over time.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

new building but not taken care of

Pros

new appliances. lots of natural light, huge windows. central A/C. bathtub and kitchen sink were extra deep. electric stove and built in microwave. rooftop access. pet friendly.

Cons

studio apartments are ridiculously small and overpriced. fridge started leaking within first month of living there. video intercom stopped working and no one was able to fix it. heat fixture in bathroom broke and almost started a fire. A/C had to be repaired multiple times. Had to replace the smoke detectors multiple times. Didn't have hot water for over 1 month, department of health had to come and do an inspection. after that, water was scalding hot for next 6 months. non-responsive management. super changed twice in the year I was there. garbage management is horrendous and department of sanitation was writing tickets every week. blood and feces on staircases/hallway walls for weeks on end. packages stolen constantly. laundry machines were never installed on the 4th floor even though it was advertised as having laundry on every floor. I would avoid at all costs.
