Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants praise MICHAEL ZERKA-managed buildings for their cleanliness, well-maintained amenities, and responsive management. The doormen and staff receive consistent compliments for friendliness and attentiveness. Residents enjoy facilities like gyms and rooftop views, noting the convenient location near subways. However, some critiques include slow renovation progress, occasional water pressure issues, and cumbersome application or move policies. Garbage management, specifically recycling space, has room for improvement. Overall, the management is viewed as proactive and communicative, making these buildings appealing despite minor inconveniences such as ongoing construction and occasional noise from the surroundings.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Amazingly run building

Pros

Great amenities, very clean and well run and still a bargain in comparison with rest of neighborhood

Cons

A lot of old people who bought at the first build and always have something to complain about. Also right on Broadway so can be noisy depending on unit

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Big building, fancy, good vibe

Pros

Really great group of doormen. Neighbors were nice and unpretentious despite it being a fancy building

Cons

Water pressure was meh *for a big building*
