Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Israel Twerski points to persistent pest issues, particularly roach and rodent infestations, which many find unacceptable despite efforts to clean. Management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or unresponsive, causing frustration among renters. Some appreciate the buildings' convenient locations, laundry facilities, and community feel, though concerns include package theft and inconsistent maintenance. Cleanliness and garbage management ratings vary, with common areas sometimes neglected. Tenants suggest a need for more proactive pest control, timely communication, and building renovations to improve living conditions and satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Roaches and Unresponsive Super

Pros

- great location - kind neighbors - never had an issue with the laundry room - super was helpful whenever we could get in contact with him

Cons

- EXTREME roach infestation that persisted even with us doing deep cleans twice a week - super was often unresponsive and hard to access - the walls are thin & i could hear my upstairs neighbor’s every footstep - packages often got stolen - stairwells often had dead (& sometimes live) roaches, only ever cleaned when someone was touring

Advice to the owners

PLEASE address the roach issue, maintain clean common areas, and address the package stealing issue.
