Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by 204-206 W 106TH ST LLC indicates inconsistent management quality. While some appreciate helpful superintendents and relatively quiet neighborhoods, there are recurring issues withbuilding cleanliness, pest control, and security, particularly concerning package theft and unaddressed tenant complaints. Management responsiveness is often criticized as slow or dismissive, with some tenants reporting threatening behavior from the property manager. Heating and water pressure generally receive moderate ratings, but overall building upkeep and maintenance are frequently described as inadequate. Prospective renters should expect a challenging living experience with limited support from ownership and management.

Major Security Issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Most neighbors are quiet and respectful. We’ve built a community in the absence of proper building management.
Cons:
The owners take zero accountability for the issues in the building. The police have confirmed there is likely a package thief living in the building and yet the owners have not upgraded the security system. Tenants have experienced many package thefts just in the last few months alone. People who don’t live in the building sneak in to smoke in stairwells and the owners still haven’t upgraded security. One tenant has been verbally and physically harassing the superintendent for almost ten years and has had no repercussions for her actions. Many many many complaints have been filed with the building owners and they don’t acknowledge any of them. If you value safety and reliability do not live here.
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants’ feedback.

nasty, threatening landlords and a filthy, decrepit building
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s in a great area.
Cons:
Oh my Lord. Where to begin? The woman who own this building, Isadora Silverman, mostly doesn’t deal with the tenants in her many buildings, though she certainly signs the backs of rent checks quickly enough. Her awful husband, Jesse Hecht, is a property manager from hell. (I don’t call him a landlord from hell since his wife owns everything.) His default mode is simply to threaten tenants whenever they call for any purpose. Have bedbugs? That’s your fault; you brought them in from somewhere. Need a hole in your ceiling fixed? You should have asked your upstairs neighbor to shut the water off before the hole formed. Is the air conditioner from two floors above you in a different apartment dripping on to the street below? That’s your fault, too, and they’ll threaten to sue you to force you to pay to power wash the building’s facade. The secret to dealing with Jesse Hecht is just not to agree to anything he says. He never follows through, since all the things he threatens to do are illegal. And the super in this building, who no doubt is ridden terribly and abused constantly, is lazy and worthless, so expect to have problems in your apartment left untended for months on end. When he does decide to fix things, his work is atrocious. Once he patched a hole in my ceiling with wire mesh. So the hole was still open, but at least there was some mesh over it. He finally plastered it over after I yelled at him on the phone.
