Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Martin Kirzner indicates inconsistent management quality across properties. While some appreciate spacious, rent-stabilized units and friendly neighbors, many report pervasive issues like poor cleanliness, pest infestations, and inadequate garbage management. Heating and water pressure reliability vary, often worsening during winter. Several tenants highlight unresponsiveness or delayed communication from management, with some stating urgent repairs require tenant persistence or legal threats. Safety concerns and outdated infrastructure are common, especially in older buildings.
