Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants in buildings managed by Howard Lev note generally clean and well-maintained apartments with good pest control and strong water pressure. Management responsiveness varies—some residents praise prompt action and a helpful super, while others find owner response slow and maintenance delays frustrating. Noise issues are recurring, especially near a popular bar generating loud late-night disturbances that management struggles to mitigate. Heating performance is inconsistent across properties, and occasional concerns about security and storage exist. Overall, renters appreciate the convenient locations and community atmosphere but recommend improvements in noise control and faster management responses for a better living experience.

Good bye bugs

Pros

Have seen only two roaches & have lived here for a year.

Cons

Unresponsive super, complains a lot. Will make you want to not request anything.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Nice, but worth it??

Pros

Lovely location. High ceilings. Nice natural light

Cons

Almost no storage. Mice. Slow to address maintenance.

Advice to the owners

Get a management company that actually responds to residents.
