Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting from AKIVA EMERGI find management generally responsive and quick to address maintenance issues, with positive notes on recent renovations and amenities like updated appliances and good transit access. However, some buildings suffer from inconsistent maintenance, with recurring problems in heating, laundry facilities, and pest control, especially roaches. Noise from thin walls and neighborhood dynamics, such as student tenants, can impact comfort. Garbage management varies, with occasional concerns about security and cleanliness. Communication with superintendents and maintenance could be improved for timely and clear resolution. Overall, expect attentive management offset by some building upkeep and noise challenges.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

It was fine

Pros

Management is very responsive

Cons

AC doesn’t work on top floors

Advice to the owners

If you’re going to have central heat and air make sure it works

Former tenant·8 minutes ago

Pretty good apartment and area

Pros

The owner was very responsive. It was near a lot of transit, but still very quiet. Great for that area of Queens

Cons

The heat was set way too high and we had no way to adjust it since it was water based board style.

Advice to the owners

Have heat a bit lower
