Review Summary for Victor Fein

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenants at buildings managed by Victor Fein often note friendly neighbors and attentive superintendents, contributing to a welcoming community atmosphere. However, pest control remains a persistent issue, especially with roaches and occasional mice, with calls for more frequent fumigation. Heating systems can be problematic or inconsistent, sometimes requiring tenant adaptations like opening windows or using AC in winter. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, and maintenance responsiveness varies, sometimes leading to frustrations over delays. Package security is another concern raised. Overall, while some appreciate ongoing improvements and a good location, many suggest stronger management focus on maintenance, pest control, and tenant communication for an improved living experience.

Great building, pest issue

Former Tenant

Pest problem can't be escaped, even with multiple exterminator treatments

8 months ago

great building, but some roach issues

Former Tenant

Pros:

generous apartment layout, amazing super, great neighbors, quiet, wired for fios, laundry in building

Cons:

sadly, roaches. it varies by apartment, but mine has a severe infestation I can never get rid of. like, severe. with every type of cockroach. they even come up my bathtub and kitchen sinks

packages have 50/50 shot in getting stolen

like many new york apartments, the heating system demands your windows to be open in the winter / put the AC on, otherwise it's way too hot (and you can't control it)

Advice to owner:

fumigate the entire building to solve the coach problem

BROOKLYN RENTERS BEWARE

Former Tenant

Pros:

Apt is in a great location, Laundry and Elevator but often needs maintenance

Cons:

This building is a co-op & unless you're dealing with a truthfully responsive unit owner, it's going to be miserable. The management over this building (Morris Rokowsky/Solomon Rokowsky) are incredibly unprofessional, and if it ever comes to dealing with them be careful. Money-hounding management, only looking for their next cent. Really check out who you're working with before you take the plunge!

Advice to owner:

Offer your tenants basic decency

Arden House review

Former Tenant

Pros:

Has doorman at night. Spacious. Great light from outside. Quiet street. Neighbors are very nice

Cons:

BUGS(lots of them). Thin walls. People can be loud sometimes maybe it’s because of the thin walls though.

Advice to owner:

Have pest control come in way more frequently.

Over 3 years ago

Don’t live on the first floor

Former Tenant

Pros:

secure lobby, friendly neighbors, the superintendent is very kind and attentive

Cons:

Living on the first floor there is lots of noise, you can hear people talking outside your window as late as 3am. It’s an old building with a major roach problem.

Advice to owner:

Every unit on the first floor probably needs to be properly fumigated in order for the issue to be resolved

Roaches and mice

Former Tenant

Pros:

Super is nice
The laundry is mostly empty
You can find parking in front of the building most of the time

Cons:

In the winter the heat is so high in my apartment i have to use the AC
There are roaches in the summer
There are mice

Advice to owner:

Get better pest control

Over 4 years ago

Has a lot of charm but also roaches

Former Tenant

Pros:

Most neighbors are very friendly
Parking garage
Elevator
Many closets
Big bright windows

Laundry machines use an app

Cons:

So.many.roaches. and if you don’t run downstairs as soon as your packages arrive there’s a 50/50 chance you will actually get it.

Advice to owner:

Get a package cage or a camera buzzer system. And get the exterminator in here on a regular basis. Also, you should let the tenants know when there are going to be repair people on the roof. We’ve had break-ins and it’s super stressful to see someone outside my window and not know whether they are supposed to be there or not!

Over 4 years ago

Cons:

Loving all the changes lately and I hope they continue.
