Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Yakov Gelb reveals a mixed management experience. Many appreciate the responsive, friendly on-site superintendents and the general affordability, with good neighborhoods and rent stabilization as positives. However, significant issues persist with cleanliness, pest control—especially rodents and bed bugs—and maintenance responsiveness, which is often described as slow or inadequate. Garbage management and heating sporadically cause resident frustration alongside old building infrastructure challenges. Tenants frequently urge improved pest control, better maintenance upkeep, and more attentive management to enhance tenant satisfaction. Overall, expect responsive supers but ongoing struggles with cleanliness and repairs in these buildings.
