Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Mike Rahbar reveals significant management challenges. Renters frequently cite poor responsiveness to repair requests and pest infestations, with many describing the landlord as absentee and uncommunicative. Maintenance issues such as broken stairs, insufficient heating, and chronic noise from nearby bars persist, negatively impacting living conditions. Package security and garbage management also receive criticism. Although some appreciate the location and apartment layout, nearly all reviews warn about deceptive renovation claims and withheld security deposits. Overall, renters should expect a landlord who is often unresponsive and a property with ongoing maintenance and pest control problems.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 hours ago

I wouldn't live here again even if you paid me.

Pros

The tenants are nice

Cons

There was no secure place to put packages, so having your packages stolen was a common occurrence for some residents. Any "renovations" they make in the ads for apartments are lies, we had a black trash bag around our bathroom sink the whole time we lived there. There was no temperature management, so an indoor heater we well as AC is necessary. One time, our ceiling light in the bathroom overflowed with brown water (someone burst a pipe upstairs) and the super expected us to spend the weekend with the ceiling light like that, right over our toilet. Like the smell of weed and the sound of people leaving the bar? That'll be your 2am-5am! Lastly, just know, you wont get your security deposit back. No matter how well you maintain the apartment, you will NOT get that 2k+ back, and you can't contact the owner either. NEVER AGAIN.

Advice to the owners

Act like you own a building where human beings live.

Former tenant·4 months ago

Beware of NYC landlord Massud "Mike" Rahbar and David Warner of Blackwater

Pros

location is wonderful

Cons

the landlord is a legit criminal. repairs are never fixed unless you call 311 then the landlord and super, "Jerry", will harass you and try to intimidate you into moving out. The landlord owes over $100,000, his building is under foreclosure, he has changed his company name 3 times as well as address. He will delay cashing your check then send fake eviction notices stating you are to move out for not paying rent.

Advice to the owners

Show up to court. There are several appearances you have avoided and more to come.
