Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews suggest that the buildings managed by Joel Fekete are characterized by poor management and maintenance issues. Many tenants report serious pest problems, including roaches and rats, coupled with slow or unresponsive maintenance for urgent repairs. While some appreciate the apartment sizes and favorable locations, rampant pest infestations, structural issues, and inadequate communication from management overshadow these benefits. Rent hikes remain a concern, often without corresponding improvements in living conditions. Overall, prospective renters should be cautious when considering the properties managed by this landlord due to the frequent complaints regarding management's accountability and responsiveness.

Good building, but ruined by the stoop

Pros

Clean, never had pests despiting not always doing dishes right away. Modernly updated inside. Responsive management, they come quickly when you report an issue.

Cons

Unhoused people are often passed out in the door way and live/camp in the stoop area by the trash and entrance. I have had to walk over passed out people many times. And the noise is very loud if you're street facing. it's not the buildings fault, but when complaining, they said they cant do anything about the people. Simply adding a gate would fix the issue but IDK how it works. Price asked for is not is not worth it with that in mind.

Advice to the owners

fInd a way to close the stoop/trash/entrance area. Maybe Double walled glass for street facing apartments windows

Not Worth the Price

Pros

As it goes, fairly large apartment.

Cons

This apartment is not worth the price. Roaches, mice, water leaks, grime that is too old to clean, just generally not a building that has been well maintained. When you make a request for maintenance they take a long time to get back, and take the cheapest route to fix. One time there was blood on the walls in the hallway and it took them a week to clean up. And they still raise the rent every year.

Advice to the owners

Take care of the building and stop raising the rent.
