Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of SHLOMO KARPEN-owned buildings generally experience well-maintained apartments with responsive superintendents and management, especially in newer or renovated buildings. Common praises include cleanliness, good pest control, rent stabilization, and attractive amenities like gyms, laundries, and rooftops. However, recurring issues include inconsistent maintenance of amenities (notably laundry rooms), noise disturbance due to thin walls or lively neighbors, occasional cleanliness lapses in common areas, package theft, and high utility costs in some properties. Management is often seen as responsive but sometimes lacking proactive upkeep, security enhancements, and clearer communication, suggesting a focus for improvement to elevate tenant satisfaction across the portfolio.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Small but nice

Pros

No pests, great location, little trouble with stolen packages.

Cons

Bit too small for its price. Laundry room has issues at times, but nothing too extreme. Electric bill can get very expensive in the winter.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Reasonable for the price

Pros

The price is reasonable for how new the building is an the amenities, new updated appliances, dishwasher, decent sized bedrooms, rent stabilized

Cons

Common areas aren’t always clean/well respected by other tenants. There always seems to be a washer/dryer out of service, the gym can get dirty, the roof while large does not seem to have been updated/cleaned since the building opened.
