Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Ben Hakimian reflects a mixed experience with strong points in superintendents' commitment and building location. Residents consistently praise the attentive and helpful supers, particularly Eddie, who is described as dependable and integral to maintenance. Management responsiveness is variable—some tenants report timely issue resolution, while others face delays, especially concerning heating and pest control. Pest infestations (mice and roaches) and dated apartments are recurring concerns, with some renters expressing frustration over landlord indifference. Noise levels and neighbor relations vary by building, but overall cleanliness and garbage management are generally rated positively. Prospective tenants should anticipate a good super but prepare for some management challenges.
