Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Yossel Lichtman reveal a mixed management experience. Positive aspects include generally clean buildings, responsive management in some locations, and secure package handling. Central heating works well and neighbors are often friendly. However, issues persist with flooding in lower-level units, occasional pest problems, and poor maintenance follow-through, especially regarding leaks, mold, and appliance breakdowns. Noise levels and neighbor quality vary, with some buildings having thin walls and problematic neighbors. Some tenants cite unavailability or unresponsiveness of building managers and concerns about safety and security. Prospective renters should expect variable management quality across properties and remain proactive in addressing issues.

Reviews

Former tenant·3 hours ago

easy to live

Pros

easy to communicate to management any problems

Cons

some hardware poor quality, squeaky doors

Former tenant·1 week ago

Unit 1A and 1B lower level floods during heavy rain…

Pros

Renovated, hallway kept clean, packages safe.

Cons

Unit 1A and 1B lower level floods during heavy rain!!! Like 2-3 times in less than 2 yrs. Total mess. Former tenant said something about the draining level can’t handle >5in rain/hr, so those Summer heavy rain storms for a few hours water floods in from the backyard door. Moved out. Management just paints over the damage. TBD if there’s mold behind the walls. Water attracts pests so after flooding have seen a few German cockroaches, but management sent pest control and they seemed to be gone (that we know of…)

Advice to the owners

Figure out a water pump system to pump out water if the water level rises in the backyard drain…
