Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Joel Herzog indicates significant management challenges. While apartments offer desirable features like en-suite bathrooms, laundry facilities, and good neighborhood locations, renters frequently report unresponsiveness from management, persistent pest and mold problems, and maintenance neglect including water damage and structural issues. Cleanliness and garbage management receive middling scores, and security concerns have been raised. Heating and water pressure vary but are often problematic. Tenants also express dissatisfaction with rent hikes and lack of timely repairs. Overall, prospective renters should expect management that struggles with upkeep and responsiveness, negatively impacting the living experience.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Actively falling apart

Pros

Dishwasher, laundry in basement, each bedroom had a bathroom.

Cons

Rear siding of the building was improperly installed and maintained. The windows are improperly set into the structure and rain leaks in every single time it rains, full streams of water. Management knew of this issue and did nothing. Someone took a blunt object to our front door so it wouldn’t close all the way and stole packages out of the lobby for months before it was fixed. Dead bugs and dead pigeons everywhere.
