Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by JOHN DEKALB LLC present a mixed impression. Tenants commend responsive maintenance and efficient garbage management, with some praising pest control efforts and building amenities like elevators and laundry. However, consistent criticisms highlight slow owner responsiveness in certain cases and occasional maintenance delays. Cleanliness ratings vary widely, and some renters express concerns about security deposit disputes and neighborhood safety rather than the buildings themselves. Overall, while the properties offer spacious units and functional utilities, potential renters should be prepared for varying management experiences and external neighborhood factors beyond the landlord’s control.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

do not recommend

Pros

living there was fine

Cons

upon moving out, AEH Realty withheld my security deposit AND tried to charge for random repairs. I took them to small claims court and won. Still trying to collect my judgment from them, almost two years after moving out and 6 months after winning my case.

Advice to the owners

AVOID RENTING FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Former tenant·6 months ago

Good management bad area

Pros

Maintenance was responsive and great- we had a baby roach issue that got resolved with my Advion gel bait (I already had) and the maintenance coming in and caulking gaps. Unclogged sink and tub for free. No other pest issues while I was here. Elevator and laundry were great. Neighbors inside building were few and quiet!

Cons

Far from subway and area is fairly dirty, sometimes loud at night. Walking home late at night wasn't bad but scary as a single woman in her 20s.

Advice to the owners

The building itself is fine, I don't think the owner can do anything about the surrounding location haha
