Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Leah Berkovits consistently report severe management shortcomings. Key issues include chronic pest infestations (cockroaches, mice, bedbugs), poor cleanliness, maintenance delays, and insufficient heating. Garbage mismanagement and building security problems lead to unpleasant conditions and tenant safety concerns. Residents describe unresponsive management and negligent supers who fail to address repairs timely and properly, with some alleging unprofessional conduct. While some buildings are in convenient locations and have good neighbors, these positives do not outweigh widespread dissatisfaction. Overall, renters should expect poor upkeep, health code violations, and significant challenges in getting management to respond or resolve issues.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Lead paint, unrepaired leaks & mold, roaches, mice, noise

Pros

elevator, close to subway, pets allowed.

Cons

peeling lead paint, illegal lease without required disclosures, super thin ceilings & In floors so I could hear my neighbors sneeze, music blaring at all hours, constant roach infestation, mice, rude neighbors who throw garbage on the floor, smoke in the hallways, threaten. Encourage tenants with children to AVOID.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Can’t trust Super

Pros

- Good location and access to amenities

Cons

- Super is sleeping with the tenants and covering for crimes like theft and harassment in the building.

Advice to the owners

Get rid of the super! He’s allowing persons who were evicted to live there!
