Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Buildings managed by Edward Kalikow show a mixed tenant experience. While many tenants praise the cleanliness, well-maintained common areas, friendly on-site supers, and helpful porters, recurring issues include poor heat provision, thin walls causing noise disturbances, and pest problems. Management responsiveness varies widely; some tenants report timely fixes and friendly staff, whereas others highlight slow repair responses, perceived neglect, and unhelpful or dismissive management attitudes—particularly criticism focused on specific managers like Jordan Platt. Rent stabilization is common, but arbitrary changes and fears of unjust charges persist. Overall, tenants value the community and amenities yet often face frustrations with management consistency and building upkeep.

Avoid Jordan Platt

Pros

I have lived in this building my entire life and it is safe, our Super and Porter are excellent, responsive and efficient.

Cons

The following reflects my personal opinions based on my experience. Kaled Management does the absolute bare minimum for their tenants. Jordan Platt, one of their managers, was handed his position by way of nepotism from my understanding and as always with nepo babies you get the worst possible blend of entitlement and ineffectiveness. His laziness, miserliness, callousness, sadism, and duplicitousness are only eclipsed by what I found to be functionally incompetent management. His consistently supercilious bearing underscores this arrogant incompetence. In my experience, he has a habit of implementing arbitrary changes without warning tenants, leaving them to deal with the resulting inconvenience, confusion, and expense. If you're thinking about moving into a building managed by Jordan Platt it is my opinion that you look elsewhere. Save yourself the trouble of having to deal with this nepo nightmare.

Great building with an excellent super

Pros

Location is perfect, neighbors are friendly, many long-term residents, super is very responsive, building is relatively well maintained

Cons

Floors aren't soundproofed whatsoever, so if your upstairs neighbor has heavy feet, you'll hear it. Laundry and trash room closes at 9PM (8PM Sundays). Certain minor cleanliness things that are to be expected in a rent stabilized building
