Review Summary for Executive Towers LLC

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenants of EXECUTIVE TOWERS LLC frequently commend the convenient locations and reasonable rents of their buildings. Positive notes include friendly neighbors and some attentive supers and management staff. However, persistent issues overshadow these benefits: many reviews highlight ongoing roach infestations, unclean common areas, and unreliable heat, especially in winter. Management responsiveness is often described as slow or dismissive, leading to frustration over prolonged repair delays and poor communication. Additionally, several buildings suffer from dated infrastructure and noise disturbances. Overall, renters can expect affordability and decent community but should be prepared for maintenance challenges and pest control shortcomings.

Something is always breaking, roaches are really bad.

Former Tenant

Pros:

Convenient location close to train and grocery stores

Cons:

Building has a really bad roach infestation!!! Management takes forever to send technicians to fix things….its been a month of me calling for my fridge to be fixed. I’ve had to get my bedroom radiator replaced because it was spitting out hot water (dangerous!). Cannot wait to get out of here.

Advice to owner:

Hire better management and please communicate effectively.

Rent stabilized but crumbling infrastructure

Former Tenant

Pros:

Rent stabilized, great neighbors, amazing neighborhood, nearby subway

Cons:

Not clean, things not fixed properly, everything gets plastered over, have to chase management for repairs. Super is sloppy

Advice to owner:

Pay attention to what’s happening in the building and how the leaks are all being plastered so ceilings fall in. You’re not addressing the issue just plastering decades of leaks weakening the infrastructure . It could be such a nice building.

Ideal place for young twenty something

Former Tenant

Pros:

Friendly neighbors, dead center in Inwood so access to everything is amazing

Cons:

Heat during the winter is close to nonexistent and has been worse during my second year of the lease

Loud and dirty building, but kind staff and good price!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Very reasonable rent! Kind and helpful staff.

Cons:

Incredibly loud building music always coming from right outside doorway. Trash littering stairways and people smoking in lobby and stairwells. Loud people in hallways as well.

Advice to owner:

Clean up and update the stairwells and crack down on smoking.

Functional but not the best

Former Tenant

Pros:

Close to A train subway, near back side of building is pretty quiet for the area.

Cons:

Issues with bugs and layout/finishing; unit was converted from studio to a 2BR and done rather quickly, so rooms were small and doors did not hang flush and were installed backwards.

Over 2 years ago

Cheap and equally miserable

Former Tenant

Pros:

Affordable. Cheap. An apartment.

Cons:

Roaches everywhere. Feces on the stairs for weeks. Mailboxes get broken into. You can hear the rats in the walls. Street is NOT safe. Gang HQ across the street and all the junkies line up.

Advice to owner:

Invest money into cleaning up the stairs and installing proper lighting and cameras, this will discourage people from being sloppy.

Great super but they area is hell!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Super and management’s responsiveness, nice neighbors.

Cons:

the whole Sherman avenue is loud from June to October due to the ongoing partying on the streets, dirt bikes and drag racing. You will not sleep until 5am.

Okayish building, could be so much better!

Former Tenant

Pros:

The whole apartment was renovated, spacious and quiet, since it was at the back of the building.

Cons:

People just sitting on the front entrance, having loud speakers, children running up and down the stairs, sitting on the stairs

You get what you pay for, but it should be better

Former Tenant

Pros:

- When the heat comes on, it get’s hot so you probably won’t get cold ever
- Management was pretty chill about security deposits, said you’d really have to do something drastic to not get it back
- Super lives downstairs, super sweet guy and readily available which is so nice instead of waiting forever for someone to come
- Now a parcel locker downstairs to somewhat help with stolen packages

Cons:

- Roaches (big ones) They spray monthly if you sign up, but it makes them all start to come out and then you see how many are actually still living in the walls of the building
- Said super plays loud music and some kids play in the backyard. If you have a window facing the backyard you will hear them even from a few floors up
- No laundry in building
- Mailbox locks are pretty old and get stuck

Advice to owner:

Renovate all the old units and do a solid deep clean. It doesn’t have to be the nicest place but people will surprisingly pay more to live in halfway decent, pest free space.

Bang for your buck

Former Tenant

Pros:

Rent was cheap (~2300 for 3 BR/1 Bath), rooms were relatively large

Cons:

Roaches, ceiling leaked and was difficult to get fixed, water sometimes stopped running or had really low pressure

Advice to owner:

Notify people when pest control was coming, more communications about water pressure and heat when it wasn’t optimal, etc.
