Review Summary for Larry Hirschfield

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight buildings managed by Larry Hirschfield. Residents have expressed dissatisfaction with poor cleanliness, garbage management, and unresponsive owners. Issues include ongoing repairs being ignored, water leakage, pest problems, and lack of maintenance. Despite some positive aspects like spacious apartments and good water pressure, management's inefficiency and neglect of tenant concerns overshadow these. Many renters do not recommend staying in these buildings due to the management's inability to address critical issues promptly. Improving owner responsiveness and overall building maintenance are crucial for enhancing the living experience for tenants.

The apartments would be more suitable if management actually did something!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Large apartments, high ceilings, a lot of light!

Cons:

The cameras in the building are spray painted so black, the walls are falling apart and dirty, The apartments are big and spacious but made with cheep alliances, the ceilings are constantly caving in due to water damage, the walls are sheet rock so they damage easily, the floors are wood threw out the apartment and are always peeling from cheep wood primer, the kitchen tiles are chipped, the cabinets are old and damaged and off the hinges, the sinks are uplifting, calling management is useless they do don’t fix any issues they don’t respond to emails, there is a huge issue with mice threw out the apartments and especially infront of the building because of trash that overflows in front and will be there for days bagged up in the corner! People live here with children and it’s not right! When you first see the apartments you think like wow this is really nice but it’s like they just threw paint and primer on old appliances to make it look new and it’s wearing and tearing nothing in the apartment was brand new everything is old and refurbished.

Advice to owner:

The property owner does not respond to tenants issues, it be better if repairs were made accordingly. No one returns phone calls or emails.

Violations galore... management does not care!

Former Tenant

Pros:

The apartment itself is very nice, spacious, and homey. Great space for the price.

Cons:

Years and years of ongoing repairs that get ignored. Water leaking through walls and ceilings. Have to harass property management to get a response. Regular notices posted by ConEd & National Grid that mgmt owes them money. Violations posted from department of sanitation. The list goes on. ELH runs a shady business and seems to have little interest in helping their tenants. But they love taking our money.

Advice to owner:

Maybe property management isn't the right business for you if you don't actually know how to manage properties. Lol

Rent Stabilized

Former Tenant

Pros:

They clean the building regularly. Cheap and great location.

Cons:

They have a monthly exterminator, but with some problem tenants roaches have been a SERIOUS problem in the past. The management company ignores you unless you make repeated requests when there are issues.

Advice to owner:

Get a better property manager. Make sure you are actually following local law 55, ensure problem tenants don't negatively impact others in the building.
