Review Summary for Kraus Management Inc

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for KRAUS MANAGEMENT INC properties reflects a mixed management performance. Residents commend the presence of friendly neighbors and appreciate efforts to maintain clean lobbies in some buildings. However, frequent issues include slow response times to maintenance requests, persistent heating problems, pest infestations, and inadequate garbage management. Complaints also highlight ongoing infrastructure concerns, such as long-standing scaffolding and insufficient pest control. Communication and responsiveness from management are often seen as lacking, leaving tenants frustrated. While some buildings are recommended for their safer environments and neighborly community, overall, renters advise improvements in timely maintenance, pest eradication, and clearer communication to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Building needs improvement

Former Tenant

Pros:

Neighbors are kind and respect each other.

Cons:

Maintenance workers are never quick to resolve issues within your apartment, tends to take 1-2 weeks before they come and fix necessary repairs. Management office is also terrible, they usually never respond back to you and I've been waiting on a wait list for a parking spot for 6 years. Every time I call it's either no answer or they tell me, I'm still on the waiting list but refuse to tell me what number I am on the waiting list.

Advice to owner:

Better enforcement on covid-19 rules. People jam pack the elevator and no one wears mask. (not even maintenance workers) At least put up signs requiring people to wear mask and limit the amount of people in the elevator.

Horrible!!!!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Overall drama free. Friendly neighbors only in this division. Only three apartments per floor. Super tries his best to maintain.

Cons:

Oh man... NO HEAT In the 7yrs there!. They can’t find professional painters, handyman’s and carpenters. They spend more money making it look nice outside when they need to fix the rodent and smelly problem and heat! Worse part is they pick and choose who to upgrade an apartment to meanwhile the waiting list will go on for years. LOTS OF GUYS SMOKING DRUGS. Right in front of the building where there are “cameras”.

Advice to owner:

If you will fix the the apartments correctly the first time then maybe you will have less complaints. Or if you treat the building like you treat the building with the Jews and whites we wouldn’t mind paying for a better and safer living. Had a whole baby and had to sleep in the living room so my baby doesn’t freeze to death. That’s sad.
