Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Jacob Hirsch reveals a mixed management experience. Some properties are praised for cleanliness, quietness, pet-friendliness, and responsive maintenance, with residents appreciating amenities like rooftop access and in-unit laundry. However, pest control remains inconsistent, with notable rat and cockroach issues reported in certain locations. Garbage management varies significantly between buildings. Responsiveness fluctuates from timely in some places to unresponsive in others, especially during off-hours. Noise levels and neighbor interactions differ widely, with some tenants facing noisy and poorly behaved neighbors. Overall, management appears uneven, suggesting a need for improved communication, pest control, and tenant support to elevate resident satisfaction.
