Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for Benjamin Werber’s buildings reveals a mix of experiences. While some appreciate the prime locations, good neighbors, and clean, well-maintained apartments, many highlight serious management shortcomings, such as slow or unresponsive maintenance, especially regarding elevator repairs and pest control. Garbage management and cleanliness vary widely between buildings. There are recurring issues with deferred maintenance, aging infrastructure, and occasional safety concerns. Though some staff like doormen and supers receive praise, overall tenant satisfaction is marred by management’s inadequate communication and delayed problem resolution. Prospective renters should expect management challenges despite desirable locations and amenities.

Run down building

Pros

- doorman - gym - views - location to train

Cons

- break ins from street - lack of common space upkeep - maintenance is deferred until situation is dire Look up reviews on Yelp and Google for Werber Management. The elevator went out of service with no warning. Due to their maintenance neglect, it will take months to fix. The super left the same day the elevator went out. There was no notice given for either event. There are pregnant women, elderly being forced to walk up 12 flights of stairs. The views, neighbors, design are great, but they come with a price. Think twice about moving into this building. There is a reason turnover is so high. *** update *** The elevator was down from April to October. A new management company has taken over. They’re retroactively charging tenants an increase that previous management neglected to charge. They’re ignoring maintenance requests to upkeep common areas, gym, etc. They delist then list apartments under a new apartment #. This avoids showing price and availability history. They’ll charge you the maximum amount (watch out for ‘free’ months) while maintaining the least.
