Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Simply Better Apartment Homes reveals persistent issues with management responsiveness and maintenance, particularly with heating systems and pest control. Many residents report neglected repairs, rodent infestations, and poor garbage management. Noise disturbances and security concerns, such as package thefts and unauthorized entry, exacerbate tenant dissatisfaction. However, some appreciate the cleanliness of common areas and the friendliness of neighbors. While a few buildings benefit from a responsive super and decent location, overall management is perceived as unprofessional and indifferent to tenant concerns, leading many renters to advise significant improvements in maintenance staff training and building upkeep.

do NOT rent from Arya Management

Pros

The neighbors of this building are wonderful -- we have a group chat for shared issues that we're having in the building, which largely revolve around how horrible building management is.

Cons

Arya Management is potentially one of the worst building management groups of NYC. They will intentionally not service maintenance requests, and are silently encourage package thefts from the building.

terrible experience here

Pros

parking lot is convenient for an area with not a lot of parking. the super is great.

Cons

extremely stingy with the heat. my con ed bill came out to $240 just so i can keep the home warm enough with a space heater for my baby. small elevator that’s consistently going out of order , AND the laundry room doesn’t work.. just overall a very awful experience not worth it at all. floors are creaky, and you can hear your upstairs neighbors RUNNING, stomping, walking, whatever- and it shakes the ceiling fan. lack of outlets, and walls have lead paint. nothing good store wise in the area and the neighborhood is a very long commute. overall a very disappointing, uncomfortable and frustrating experience living here with an unresponsive mgmt company that overall doesn’t seem to care at all about making anything better.

Advice to the owners
