Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Sam Rubin reveal a mixed experience. While some praise the management’s responsiveness, timely repairs, and overall affordability in great locations, there are recurring issues with cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance quality. Common complaints include garbage buildup attracting rats, noisy and inefficient heating systems, structural wear such as cracked floors and mold, and occasional security concerns. Some units have questionable or illegal renovations adding complexity. Though newer management efforts have improved conditions and tenant relations, persistent problems with deep cleaning, pest control, and infrastructure upkeep suggest room for significant improvement in management consistency and building maintenance.

Affordable pre-war w/ flaws

Pros

• cheap rent for the area (off Franklin av) • pre war details in unit & lobby • amazing roof w/ view of Manhattan

Cons

• poor building management • building falling apart: floor cracking, cracking in staircase, mold, wobbly stair railings • management keeps radiator water & steam pressure high so upper floors have horrible water hammer (worse than other pre war buildings) • roaches, mice (you have to exterminate yourself)
