Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on properties managed by Joel Goldstein reveals significant management challenges. Common issues include poor responsiveness to maintenance and repair requests, persistent pest problems, and inadequate garbage management. Many report unclean building conditions and unreliable heating or water pressure. Security concerns such as package theft and thin apartment walls contribute to dissatisfaction. While some tenants praise good locations, neighborhood vibe, and occasional attentive staff or building features, overall communication and management effectiveness are frequently criticized. Prospective renters should anticipate delays in repairs, limited pest control, and generally lackluster management involvement despite some decent amenities and neighborhood benefits.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Review, 1 year tenant

Pros

Price, location, pet friendly

Cons

pests- roaches and mice, neighbors (loud at times), package safety (or lack thereof, had x1 package stolen)

Advice to the owners

Decent deal, but all the cons didn't make it worth it to me

Former tenant·9 hours ago

Looks great from the outside, rotten from the inside

Pros

Quiet block, close to the LIRR

Cons

Management is the definition of a slumlord. They also have a track record of hiring thugs for superintendents, the latest installment thinking he's Scarface. Most of the tenants are great and there's a bit of a community feeling. But the building is painfully neglected and mismanaged. There's never a doorman even though they charge you for it. Boxes get stolen constantly. Pest control doesn't handle the mice/roach issues. The building also smells moldy. The gym is a joke and half the time they lock the doors so tenants can't access, yet get charged for the "amenity".

Advice to the owners

Sell to someone who actually cares.
