Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by Danny Zada reveals mixed experiences. Positively, many tenants praise the convenient locations, respectful neighbors, and some manageably responsive management staff. Facilities like laundry and rooftop access are appreciated, albeit often older or requiring renovation. However, issues frequently arise with cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance responsiveness, particularly in certain buildings where pest infestations and slow, patchwork fixes are common complaints. Garbage management and building upkeep tend to be inconsistent, and some report safety and security concerns, including package theft and poor door lock maintenance. Rent hikes and communication gaps also contribute to tenant dissatisfaction, suggesting a need for more proactive and tenant-focused management practices.

Great until its not building

Pros

great location, laundry in basement, good size rooms and living spaces.

Cons

management was shady, problems with maintenance of building, lived here for 4 years, loved it when it was running smoothly, but ever so often there would be an infestation of something, roaches/mice. Once you found the issue it was okay. Location is great and block has a neighborhood vibe. first 3 years here the maintenance was awful, very dirty lobby and trash management. Roaches (only really one at a time every few months and dead at least) would stay in the lobby for days, clearly not being cleaned. Up until last year when they hired a new maintenance guy are i have now relied on him and he is fantastic!

Advice to the owners

Upgrade the laundry machines- run down and you have to run them multiple times to get your clothes dry even if its a normal size load. Packages get stolen all the time- need better security.
