Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Esther Herman reveal a mixed management experience. Some residents praise responsive maintenance and pest control efforts, highlighting improvements and helpful staff. Many appreciate spacious apartments with desirable amenities like dishwashers and balconies. However, issues include occasional delays in maintenance response and problems with security deposit returns, leading to distrust by some tenants. Garbage disposal is generally well handled, though cleanliness of common areas varies. Neighborhood safety and location concerns are noted but beyond management’s control. Overall, renters advise caution and suggest improved communication to enhance tenant satisfaction and trust in management.

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
