Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews indicate that buildings managed by SHIRBEN OCEAN 2249 LLC are situated in a nice neighborhood with good proximity to parks. However, the management is lacking, with issues such as poor cleanliness, garbage management, and pest control being recurring problems. Tenants have expressed concerns about ineffective security measures and unsatisfactory maintenance of essential facilities like elevators and laundry rooms. Suggestions include enhancing security systems, improving maintenance practices, and cultivating a more respectful relationship with tenants. Despite some positives like quiet surroundings, prompt super responsiveness, and occasional improvements, there seems to be room for significant enhancement in overall management efficiency.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Nice location and neighborhood, too bad management is not good.

Pros

Near the park, nice neighborhood. UPDATE There seems to be some improvement… the scaffolding is down and we got new washers. There’s a new super so maybe that will help too. Would increase to 3.5.

Cons

Management doesnt give a shit. Elevator breaks all time time, massive roach problem, disgusting laundry room with constantly broken machines. Not enough security. Scaffolding up around building for years.

Advice to the owners

Update to a video intercom for security. Actually fix the elevator so it doesnt break down every month. Renovate the laundry room. Be nice to your tenants and stop leaving nasty letters to is in the common areas about how your cameras will “catch us.”

Dirty smelly old

Pros

Near the park - good size prewar apartment

Cons

The building is very poorly maintained. Garbage is not handled adequately. The halls smell because The garbage shoots reek. Floors are filthy.  The front door was broken for months and anyone could walk in and out. There is no real security just a buzzer that goes to your phone and you’ll hear some guy say “package” - you can’t see him. Heat and hot water are sporadic. Apartment is too cold at night and in the morning - radiators do not go on when they are supposed to.

Advice to the owners

You need to hire more people. A lot more people to keep the building sanitary and clean. The garbage situation is a nightmare. You need to renovate the lobby because it is disgusting.
