Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Terrible management company

Pros

Location, great neighborhood and plenty of things close by

Cons

Building manager (Jordan) is extremely rude, harasses tenants verbally, takes no action on issues affecting building such as pests, water damage, heat. Super does bare minimum.

Advice to the owners

If your managers are going to harass tenants, maybe tell them not do it in writing. Fire Jordan.

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.
