Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Raizy Knopfler indicate serious management challenges. Common issues include poor responsiveness to maintenance requests, inadequate garbage management, and unresolved health hazards like mold and sewage backups. Heating systems are often ineffective, and communication from management is slow or dismissive. Despite some tenants noting positive aspects such as quiet neighbors and occasional responsiveness, these are overshadowed by consistent safety and upkeep concerns. Rent increases appear steep and frequent, contributing to tenant dissatisfaction and high turnover. Overall, renters can expect ongoing maintenance neglect, poor landlord communication, and hygiene issues under this management.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 hour ago

Building is a health hazard

Pros

None. absolutely none.

Cons

The landlord does not respond to requests for maintenance. we have had multiple floods with sewage backup, there was stagnant dookie water in the communal laundry room basement for days- the whole building has been uninhabitable multiple times because of the gas coming from the sewage water. management is incredible at the “we took care of it”- aka they’ve hired cleaning people that were unqualified and unequipped to clean up the flood and hire painters to paint over the lack mold that’s embedded in the drywall. they raise the rent by $600 when your lease is up in order to keep a high turnover rate of tenants. steer clear of this building

Advice to the owners

DO BETTER

Former tenant·1 week ago

Below the Bare Minimum

Pros

The neighborhood, central heating and air, pet policy.

Cons

You have to beg management to do the bare minimum. They have jeopardized the health and safety of their tenants in favor of pinching pennies, definition of the landlord special.

Advice to the owners

Listen to your tenants, take care of the building or it will get condemned.
