Review Summary for Leon Farhi
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback on LEON FARHI's buildings reveals a mixed experience with management. Many praise the responsive and helpful building superintendents and appreciate reasonable rents, central heating/AC, and well-maintained amenities like rooftops, elevators, and balconies. The buildings are generally clean with good pest control and water pressure. However, several reviews note landlord unavailability or limited responsiveness, occasional harsh deposit practices, and concerns about neighborhood safety and noise. Security issues like broken door locks leading to package theft are frequently mentioned. Tenants value the polite management staff but advise improvements in communication, safety, and building upkeep for a better living experience overall.

Feel like it needs some work
Former Tenant
Pros:
Prime location to the train. Ac and heat worked well.
Cons:
Feel like some tenants or people off the street would catch the door and abuse the roof leaving trash behind. Missing packages was always annoying too.

Good transition apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is quite central and the apartment allows pets, even though they say they don't, and the rooftop has been seriously so stunning. The Super is the best part of the apartment, he is always around and always so cheerful and willing to help and even goes the extra mile to help you out.
Cons:
The laundry on top of an expensive rent is so pricey, the neighbors inside the building aren't the most friendly and do not abide by quiet hours, the two shelters on the same block make the commute pretty dangerous and uncomfortable as well as the bar within the shelter that blasts horrible DJ sets until 4am. The landlord is never around and very hands-off.
Advice to owner:
I would try to be around more and discuss safety concerns with the other owners on this block and establish connections in order to better your tenants concerns and safety.

Easy and homey
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super’s response time and time to address problem is amazing. He will come to help almost always immediately. Management is hands off other than that which is nice.
Cons:
Front door is sometimes broken on a main road and so my packages have a been stolen from time to time. Camera footage can only be seen by contacting police which seems silly.

As expected
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building super and landlord are all nice. Prices reasonable. Central heat and air. Elevator mostly works. Stairways are just below average on cleanliness. Definitely seen way worse.
Cons:
The same subpar recent construction dumb cabinets that never shut right and bathroom sinks that aren’t level and the standard Nyc subway tile and crappy white paint from last tenant
Advice to owner:
Get better kitchen and bathroom furniture

Great building, great landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Landlord is equally responsive and responsible. He is generous and helpful and the best landlord I’ve had in nyc. If i move out I’ll be looking for apartments in his other buildings.
Cons:
It’s near the subway and the J is loud af but it’s cheaper bc of that so just listen to it pass a few times while viewing the apt to make sure you’re cool with it.
Advice to owner:
Nada, thanks for being a good dude.
