Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Arben Kodra commonly experience well-located apartments with modern finishes and quiet, generally friendly neighbors. However, management responsiveness is inconsistent, with many complaints about slow or insufficient handling of maintenance issues, including pest control, heating problems, and package theft. Pest infestation, specifically roaches, remains a frequent concern despite occasional treatments. Rent increases are seen as steep relative to apartment size and quality. Additionally, ongoing construction noise and poor communication add to tenant frustrations. While some residents appreciate the attentive super and proximity to amenities, others advise improvements in pest control, management communication, and building upkeep to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Cockroach infestation, unresponsive management, temperamental heat this winter

Pros

The building’s location is nice. I love being across from the botanical gardens. I used to live a few blocks down and wanted to come back to this neighborhood.

Cons

Oh, you name it. The landlord is unresponsive. Spending over 4K on an apartment COVERED in cockroaches that no one is taking care of the way you need to, management company does absolutely nothing but take your rent. I have 311 on speed dial because of this place. In the winter, the heat was always out. First few months living here there was a NYHA meeting because of all the complaints they were getting. Steer clear.
