Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for Joel Rubin's buildings reveal a mixed management experience. Positive notes include convenient locations, generally clean common areas, effective pest control in some buildings, laundry amenities, and responsive management in certain cases. However, many express frustration with slow owner responsiveness, poor garbage management, noise issues due to inadequate sound insulation, pest infestations, and occasional neglect of maintenance tasks. Some tenants report feeling ignored or gaslit when raising concerns, with issues like construction disturbances, mold, and malfunctioning appliances persisting. Security and safety concerns such as faulty locks and lack of a super have also been cited. Overall, expect varied management quality with room for improvement in communication and upkeep.

Good deal for the area, nice apartment, no real issues with neighbors

Stingy management, takes a long time to respond and is a bit disorganized with their dispatch of repair people.

Pros

great neighborhood, close to everything! close to the L train and M train.

Cons

management is terrible will ignore you until you continually ask them. Anytime you ask them for anything beware they will make you feel completely stupid over the phone and make it seem like you’re asking them for a favor when HELLO it’s your job that’s why I’m paying you $!! The laundry room is disgusting and is the same price as the MTA for wash and dry… that’s crazy and they give you these laundry cards that never work but besides the point the noise level in the building is terrible, you can hear people stomping down the stairs and it’s like they’re in your walls. There’s an annoying obnoxious typical bushwick dj that lives in the building and constantly plays music at every hour of the day, never stops no matter how many times you knock on the door. There is no real light coming into your apt except for the window facing the street and the window facing the backyard in a separate bedroom, other than that it’s completely dull and the lighting in the apt is so depressing. People walk down the street and look through your trash constantly and it feels like an invasion of privacy. Every now and then there will be a complete stranger that will do there business in the staircase leading to the laundry basement so don’t be so surprised when you walk downstairs and see a giant turd. Management ignores your every request if i could rate it 1 star I would.
