Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Avi Baranes reveal a mixed management experience. While some buildings offer spacious, clean apartments with low noise levels and good neighbor relations, there are recurring issues with pest control and garbage management in certain properties. Responsiveness from management varies, with some tenants praising timely responses and others reporting delays. Heating systems sometimes malfunction, and a few buildings show signs of deferred maintenance and construction inconveniences. Rent can be on the higher side compared to amenities provided. Overall, tenants should expect a range from well-kept to poorly maintained buildings, emphasizing the need for improved upkeep and pest management in select locations.

Nice building on a chill block.
