Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants under Michele Bengelsdorf's management consistently praise the cleanliness, quietness, and responsive staff of the buildings, particularly valuing friendly doormen and well-kept amenities. The properties are noted for excellent garbage management and robust pest control. However, some renters report occasional issues with aging HVAC systems, noisy or difficult neighbors, and heavy-handed management styles. Several reviews call for upgrading outdated appliances, windows without screens, and gym equipment. While many recommend the buildings due to attentive service and solid maintenance, a few caution about isolated staff attitude problems and suggest improved professionalism for guest interactions.

Bad experience with the staff

Pros

It’s a well done building.

Cons

RUN if you ever consider moving/visiting here, there’s many other good service LIC apts out there. I live in central LIC (court square area) and visited my area apts staff are all very nice and warm welcoming me as a visitor. However, I had TWO out of my three visits very disappointing experiences while visiting a resident on Christmas Eve. I was leaving around 4:30 pm, I took a quick mirror selfie in the lobby, only to be aggressively approached by a staff member. He first claimed I was taken pic of him, and I proved I didn’t. Then he asked me why I’m here who I am for. I answered them all. He then demanded I delete the video immediately, claiming it was 'private property'. The delivery was incredibly rude and disrespectful. If this is how they treat guests during the holidays, I can’t imagine what residents have to deal with daily. More to follow up 🥲, extremely disappointed with the staff attitude here (Jacqueline). While cat-sitting for a friend, I was met with screaming and hostility when I asked for help with the keys. Even though she admitted to remembering me from my previous visit, she was incredibly rude and difficult. When I mentioned the importance of getting in to feed the residents’ cats, she told me she 'didn't care about the residents cat getting feed.' I am shocked by this lack of professionalism.

Advice to the owners

Please improve your staff mannerism.
