Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Doctor Elahi reveals significant management challenges. Many renters express frustration over unresponsiveness to maintenance requests, with persistent issues such as heating malfunctions, pest infestations, faulty intercoms, and inadequate garbage management. Safety concerns, including past fire hazards and gas leaks, further compound tenant dissatisfaction. While the location is consistently praised for convenience and affordability, the upkeep and communication from management are frequently criticized. Tenants advise investing in professional maintenance staff, improving responsiveness, and addressing core building issues proactively to enhance living conditions and tenant trust. Overall, expect management here to be sluggish and insufficiently attentive to residents' needs.

Reviews

Former tenant·12 hours ago

Stay Away - it is a nightmare living here

Pros

Location is ideal. Very convenient and close to Museum Mile. Easy access to Central Park and subways.

Cons

The building is horrible. Not properly maintained, lack of sunlight, dirty and management very unresponsive. Building manager, Mark Massey is very uncouth and uncivilized.

Advice to the owners

Keep the building clean. Mark, Instead of trying to do everything yourself, hire people with the proper expertise to get things done. Fix the intercom system so that tenants do not have to come down how many flights of stairs to let a visitor in. Be responsive to tenants when they reach out to you. And do not sit on tenants security deposit for 6 months before you return it
