Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Donald Hastings reveal pervasive issues with cleanliness, pest control, and garbage management, particularly in Queens and parts of Manhattan. Tenants frequently cite roach and rodent infestations and slow or no responses to maintenance requests. Heating and water pressure vary, sometimes inconsistent or insufficient. While some appreciate the spacious apartments and neighbors, many complain about noisy environments and unsafe conditions. Management is commonly described as unresponsive and ineffective, with multiple reports of unresolved problems and poor communication. Overall, renters can expect challenges with upkeep and management responsiveness in these buildings.

Make the roaches disappear

Pros

Location, relatively quiet neighborhood, easy to access MTA transport into the city.

Cons

UPDATE: super & management STILL DON’T respond properly. Took them to court, still have issues within my unit and repairs the need to be done in the building itself. Roaches! They do have a company that comes twice a month to provide pest control, but you have to be home. Working a Monday-Friday it’s kinda hard to just leave or not go into work to wait all day for pest control to come. I’ve emailed management & the super about some things that need to be addressed in my unit, it’s been almost 3 months now and NO RESPONSE!

Advice to the owners

Respond to your tenets when we call/email/text. Tent the building, the roach issue is NOT normal.

Research before you rent from A&E

Pros

All tenants are treated the same…. Terribly

Cons

A&E is harassing its tenants by neglecting their properties which are being overrun by rats, pests and mold.
