Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Jacob Lichtman reveal a mixed tenant experience. While some appreciate the convenient location, spacious apartments, and generally responsive management, there are recurring concerns about maintenance quality, particularly regarding heating, pests, and mold issues. Garbage management is frequently criticized for being inadequate. Several tenants report aging infrastructure with leaks and noise from thin walls. A few tenants note challenges with the landlord's communication and long-term problem resolution, urging improvements in repair thoroughness. Despite these issues, some still find value in the apartments and recommend staying, highlighting a need for better upkeep and more consistent responsiveness.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

worst landlord i've ever had

Pros

close to subway nightlife and parks

Cons

lived here 5 years. the worst landlord i've ever had. ac breaks in the summer, it's 100 degrees in the apartment and they don't fix it for a week. the system is so broken and old. it leaks into the ceilings which causes the ceilings to collapse every couple years. mice mold roaches you name it. the garbage management is non existent. the whole building was also illegally destabilized and the landlord will lie to and intimidate anyone who tries to be treated according to their rights. he left our neighbors without heat with a gas leak in the middle of january. they were sleeping with the windows open with an infant and had no choice but to accept being forced out. this guy is evil. this building has a crazy number of violations but hpd sucks at their jobs so they don't get properly recorded.

Advice to the owners

unfortunately none. we tried evrything and they are unremittingly cruel and selfish.

Pros

Location, space, neighbors

Cons

Landlord is responsive most often but does really poor fixes and doesn't last long. Had a mold problem, he just slapped some cock on it and it came back

Advice to the owners
