Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Israel Gluck-owned buildings reveals consistent issues with cleanliness, pest infestations, and maintenance responsiveness. Multiple reviews highlight severe roach and rodent problems, mold presence, and neglected repairs, including heating and plumbing. Management is often described as unresponsive or slow, with communication difficulties and unreliable superintendents. Garbage disposal and overall building upkeep are frequently criticized. While some appreciate convenient locations and occasionally friendly superintendents, these positives are overshadowed by frustration over neglect and unsafe conditions. Prospective renters should expect ongoing challenges with maintenance, pest control, and management attentiveness in these properties.

Reviews

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!

Beware at your own risk

Pros

Laundry Literally half of block from apartment building. Rent stabilize units 3& 4 express trains 7 minute walk -Good Transportation

Cons

-Roaches -Small Roaches Crawling Everywhere. -Big cockroaches in building hallways & stairs. -A Dead cockroach killed on steps but not pick up or move in 8+ days but everyone sees it. -Flying roaches aka “Water bugs”. -Big Cockroaches crawling out of your heater. -Yes Ik I said roaches 6 times it is THAT bad unless you clean everyday. - Plumbing Issues -Be Prepared to catch at least 9 mice randomly one night in the summer time. -Catch your own mice -Keep your fire escape window close a rat can come inside your unit. -Make sure to culk your own stuff. (Ex: bathroom, floors, cracks,door, window) -Mostly cracks everywhere be prepared to do it all yourself even move in. -Door knobs besides the front apartment door will fall off all.*just grab it and twist it back on it’s old * -Exterminator doesn’t come regularly. -If your package is stolen be prepared to not get it. *You could ask your super to see if they have it* -Prepare to do your OWN extermination. -Prepare for the buzzer to not work or the door lock to be twisted up so bad that it doesn’t turn. -Sometimes the lock door that tenets use a key to enter the building is sometimes open. -Prepare to not get SERIOUS issues you may have in your unit NOT fixed. (Ex: A Fire Escape Window Not Opening At All for 5+ Months) -Can’t use kitchen to full capacity, to store food because of roach infestation.(Ex:Kitchen cabinets,drawers etc.) -Serious Mold in the bathroom that tenets complained about to management (before they switched management companies in 2022). Now In our lease agreement (since March 2022) we are require to clean up our own SERIOUS BLACK mold. -Management doesn’t care about his Tenants -No direct address to send a letter to management -Superintendent is never punctual to fix any issues. (Ex: I need my super to fix my sink we make an appointment with him via text at 3pm, he doesn’t show up until 5:30pm that day OR doesn’t Pick up any calls or text until the very NEXT day.) -Superintendent doesn’t respect people time and randomly text a tenant at 8 or 9pm to come fix an issue the super was suppose to fix at an already schedule time earlier in the day.
