Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Joel Fekete consistently highlight issues with management responsiveness and building upkeep. Many renters report persistent pest problems, especially rats and roaches, and frequent maintenance delays including heating, plumbing, and structural repairs. Security concerns and poor garbage management are common, alongside inconsistent cleanliness and noise control. While some buildings have appealing locations, character, and responsive maintenance staff, overall management is criticized for unprofessionalism, slow or ineffective problem resolution, and disputes over security deposits. Prospective renters should expect landlord challenges and ongoing infrastructure issues despite some tenants appreciating the spacious units and community aspects.

Reviews

Former tenant·59 minutes ago

Good bones, below average landlord

Pros

Building itself is great, well loved with a lot of character.

Cons

Landlord. Price. Rooftop access was revoked.

Advice to the owners

Stop being bullies.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Fine but not great

Pros

Elevator access, close proximity to C trains, lots of restaurants and bodegas within walking distance.

Cons

Terrible pest control - all apartments have roaches. Noisy neighbors, issues with neighbors' friends, and dogs assaulting tenants and damaging property.
