Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Abraham Karpen depict a mix of experiences. Tenants commonly appreciate the newer construction, spacious units, and amenities such as gyms, rooftop lounges, and daily cleaning crews. Pest control is generally effective, and heating works well. However, some renters express dissatisfaction with management’s responsiveness, particularly regarding maintenance issues and laundry room upkeep. Garbage areas and cleanliness standards vary, with concerns about occasional neglect and package theft. Residents also report occasional noise problems and some concerns over security deposit handling. Overall, the management shows potential but could improve preventative maintenance and tenant communication to enhance resident satisfaction.

Small but nice

Pros

No pests, great location, little trouble with stolen packages.

Cons

Bit too small for its price. Laundry room has issues at times, but nothing too extreme. Electric bill can get very expensive in the winter.

Looks nice but they don’t really care

Pros

This building is pretty new, the heat and air conditioning are controlled in each room, there’s a finished rooftop, laundry room and a lounge/workspace. There’s also a sister building around the corner that has a gym, another finished rooftop and lounge spaces you can use.

Cons

The building management doesn’t really care. So far this year I’ve put in 16 tickets alone because either a washer or dryer doesn’t work. They don’t seem to do any preventative maintenance when it comes to amenities just waits for tickets. The cleaning standards have gone down significantly this year. I think they vacuum once a week at most. The garbage rooms are constantly filled with trash. The laundry room is always dirty. I’ve had two packages stolen and all they’ve done about it is tell me “we’ve reviewed the footage and somebody came in and took it. file a police report”. I could keep going with more things but the bottom line is this place is fine, not great. Not terrible just fine; but definitely not the quality of what it should be for what you pay to be here

Advice to the owners

Care about every part of your space more, not just the part new tenants see. Care about your tenants more we pay a good amount to be here
