Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Herbert Hirsch indicate a mixed experience. Many appreciate the convenient locations and solid heat, but cleanliness and maintenance are recurring concerns, with reports of dirty hallways, pest issues, and slow responses from management. While some tenants mention that the current superintendent is better than previous ones, substantial issues like gas outages for extended periods have marred the experience. Garbage management is another area needing improvement. Overall, residents recommend the properties primarily for their locations but suggest a need for enhanced management practices to significantly improve living conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

good for now

Pros

good location, good size, laundry

Cons

we had a gas leak, the old super was awful, we’d lose heat and water a lot in the winter.

Advice to the owners

the current super is much better than the last one

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Loved our time

Pros

Interior of our apartment was always clean because we kept it that way never saw roaches or pests (except the occasional bug). Honestly pretty responsive from the property managers and low rent. Actually really enjoyed living here for the most part!

Cons

Dead roaches in the hallway, though it’s gotten better and didn’t really affect me since they weren’t in my apartment. Neighbors can be inconsiderate leaving things in the hallway during move out and it won’t get cleaned up unless you ask someone to do it.
