Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Reuven Sobel indicate mixed experiences with management. Tenants note some positive aspects such as decent heating, good water pressure, quietness in newer buildings, and friendly neighbors. However, cleanliness and garbage management often fall short, with complaints about poorly maintained hallways, pest issues like spiders, and noise disturbances from nearby businesses. Responsiveness from the owner is seen as inconsistent, with some tenants appreciating timely responses while others feel improvements are needed. Rent increases upon lease renewal have caused dissatisfaction. Overall, management attention to maintenance, pest control, and fair rental practices would enhance tenant satisfaction.
