Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for Esther Kohen's buildings reveal consistent tenant concerns about cleanliness, pest control, and garbage management, often rated poorly. Residents appreciate the neighborhood location and sometimes the quietness or friendly neighbors, but frequently mention noise issues and problematic superintendents who impact the living experience negatively. Maintenance and repair responsiveness from management is often slow or inadequate, with infrastructure problems like leaks being superficially addressed. Several renters report harassment issues related to building staff. While rents tend to be reasonable and some buildings are rent stabilized, renters advise improved management responsiveness, stricter building supervision, and enhanced pest control to significantly improve tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·3 minutes ago

Advice to the owners

To change the super

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Rent stabilized but crumbling infrastructure

Pros

Rent stabilized, great neighbors, amazing neighborhood, nearby subway

Cons

Not clean, things not fixed properly, everything gets plastered over, have to chase management for repairs. Super is sloppy

Advice to the owners

Pay attention to what’s happening in the building and how the leaks are all being plastered so ceilings fall in. You’re not addressing the issue just plastering decades of leaks weakening the infrastructure . It could be such a nice building.
