Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Positive aspects include responsive supers and attentive doormen in several buildings, with some tenants appreciating well-maintained amenities and convenient locations. However, there are consistent complaints about poor pest control, occasional heating issues, and slow or unhelpful management responses.

Overall, prospective renters should expect decent core services but remain cautious about responsiveness and pest issues in Hakim-managed properties.

Building has gone downhill

Pros

This building was great for a while. Doormen are really kind and super is responsive and always fixes issues quickly. Laundry room is convenient.

Cons

Building has really declined in quality in the past year. This winter, I had a lot of issues with heat and my apartment was freezing until I got them to replace my HVAC unit. There has also been an influx of mice and pests in the building. I have seen mice in my apartment. Not sure what happened as this was never an issue previously. Definitely a huge bummer considering the consistent 8-10% rent hikes every year.
