Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Albert Farhi reveal a mix of positives and concerns. Tenants appreciate amenities like rooftops, central heat and air, and responsive supers. Several note the buildings are rent stabilized with reasonable prices. However, management responsiveness is variable; some renters find owner communication brief or dismissive, with occasional deposit disputes. Cleanliness and garbage management are often rated average, while neighborhood safety and noise issues, partly due to nearby nightlife and shelters, cause discomfort. Pest control and maintenance have improved in some units. Overall, expect decent facilities and helpful supers but prepare for challenges with responsiveness and local environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·16 minutes ago

good for a year or two

Pros

nice rooftop, good public transit location, quick turnaround for repairs, rent stabilized

Cons

location was rough

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Good transition apartment

Pros

The location is quite central and the apartment allows pets, even though they say they don't, and the rooftop has been seriously so stunning. The Super is the best part of the apartment, he is always around and always so cheerful and willing to help and even goes the extra mile to help you out.

Cons

The laundry on top of an expensive rent is so pricey, the neighbors inside the building aren't the most friendly and do not abide by quiet hours, the two shelters on the same block make the commute pretty dangerous and uncomfortable as well as the bar within the shelter that blasts horrible DJ sets until 4am. The landlord is never around and very hands-off.

Advice to the owners

I would try to be around more and discuss safety concerns with the other owners on this block and establish connections in order to better your tenants concerns and safety.
