Review Summary for Jerry Zakowicz
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants praise Jerry Zakowicz’s buildings for excellent cleanliness, well-managed garbage disposal, and friendly, attentive doormen. Management and maintenance are generally responsive and effective, ensuring safety and convenience with amenities like package rooms and gyms. However, some tenants report persistent noise issues due to location and occasional elevator outages. Heating performance varies, with a few complaints about uneven temperature control and noisy radiators.

Loved living here
Former Tenant
Pros:
You get an incredible building for decently affordable prices, especially for those living with roommates. The doormen and staff in the building are so wonderful - I’m extremely sad to leave.
Cons:
Third Avenue and 33rd can be a bit dangerous and loud, so if you’re on a low floor, expect that commotion.

Elevators have gone through many ups and downs of repairs and being out of service.

Decent location, poor building management
Former Tenant
Pros:
I was in a large unit for a very affordable price. There is a gym in the building, a door man, and a portal for all apartment-related issues. Unit was renovated prior to move in. Central AC, dishwasher, laundry in building.
Cons:
We had a massive pest issue in our unit and it took months of requests and badgering management to receive any resolution and compensation. The pipes bang for 10+ minutes when the heat turns on, so you will be woken up in the middle of the night by them. This is also on a busy corner, so if you are on a low floor, it will be loud. There is no control over the heat, and the heat radiates out, especially if you are near the boiler, which causes the rooms to be extremely warm when transitioning from fall to winter and winter to spring.
Advice to owner:
control the pests

Building is kind of Falling Apart
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very nice porters and building staff
Cons:
Building has a pest control problem- had a mouse in our very high-floor apartment. Also, lobby smells like trash over the summer since the trash room is on the main level. Building in general is old and is kind of falling apart- regular water outages with super aerated pipes
