Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Herman Rubin reveal significant concerns about maintenance and management responsiveness. Issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate heating, pest problems, and weak water pressure. Garbage management and neighbor relations vary, but safety and security are questioned due to uncontrolled access and package theft incidents. Many tenants report slow or absent repairs and general neglect of building infrastructure, such as moldy flooring and dirty common areas. While some appreciate the local amenities and quieter neighbors, the overall sentiment warns potential renters of management’s lack of timely intervention and inadequate building upkeep, suggesting these properties may not meet expected living standards.

Reviews

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

It's just fine

Pros

the neighbors are all chill

Cons

6 floor walk up should be illegal, and there's no ADA access

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

RUN AWAY! STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE!

Pros

Absolutely nothing good to say.

Cons

Do not consider this building at all. Neighbors steal you packages, then knock on your door claiming that they “found them all opened” then ask money in return. Management knows about this and does absolutely nothing. Also, they do not care about the structure. Flooring is moldy and disgusting and they do not want to repair it.
