Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback about buildings managed by Ellen Hakim highlights well-maintained and clean properties with generally responsive superintendents and management, contributing to a positive living experience. Residents appreciate spacious units, good water pressure, and attentive issue resolution, especially concerning maintenance and pest control. Neighborhoods are praised for convenience, and neighbors tend to be friendly. However, some mention noise from neighbors or street, occasional minor pest problems typical of NYC, and concerns about rent hikes, which some tenants find unsustainable. Overall, Ellen Hakim’s buildings offer a reliable, well-managed residence with a focus on tenant care, though rent stability and noise can be points to consider.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

New rent hikes

Pros

Love this apartment. Location is great. Super is kind and responsive. Never wanted to leave.

Cons

Rent increases for the first few years were <4%. When Salon took over management, the increases ranged from 5-8%. We’ve been priced out and have to leave.

Advice to the owners

Take care of your long-term, responsible tenants. The rent increases are unsustainable.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

lovely home past few years

Pros

VERY reasonable rent increases year over year. Live-in super keeps the hallway very clean. Everything in the building works. Break-fix is generally fast.

Cons

No laundry : (
