Review Summary for Efstathios Valiotis
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Buildings managed by Efstathios Valiotis present a mixed tenant experience. Positive aspects include spacious, affordable apartments with generally friendly neighbors and quiet environments. Some buildings are well-maintained with responsive supers and decent amenities, especially in rent-stabilized locations. However, management often shows slow or poor responsiveness to repair requests, especially regarding heat, pests, and maintenance issues like broken elevators and leaks. Garbage management and cleanliness vary widely, with some locations struggling with trash, pests, and package theft. Several tenants highlight the need for more maintenance staff and better security measures. Overall, tenants should expect inconsistent management quality with occasional frustration around upkeep and communication.

Have loved living here
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's super quiet - have barely ever heard my neighbors.
Cons:
Super can be slow to respond to requests but is very friendly and will be there for you if there is an emergency. Many tenants have had issues getting our in-wall AC/heat units replaced.
Advice to owner:
Address the AC unit issue

Affordable, Decent Building

The building is very well priced and neighbors are friendly. It's a great location, the apartments are a bit outdated, but you get what you pay for!

Falling apart, old building.
Former Tenant
Pros:
I’ve lived in the building for 15 years, it’s mostly been good.
Cons:
Packages regularly stolen, cooking gas has been off for over a month. They are VERY slow and unresponsive to fix things in the building. Leaks and broken intercom go unaddressed for months with regular messaging to management. I’ve been stuck in the elevator twice
Advice to owner:
Prioritize regular maintenance

A Mix of Good and Bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
Almost all neighbors are quiet and very nice. There's great community amongst all the buildings in the complex. People look after each other. The location is wonderful. Most units have a spacious balcony or other outside space. The high floors have skyline views.
Cons:
The apartments are average size and nothing that special without the location and balconies. No laundry in the building but it's across the street and unfortunately not maintained well. The absolute worst part is trying to get anything in my unit fixed in a timely manner. The super is constantly overwhelmed and flaky. I have to ask him 10 times to get him to do anything unless it's an absolute emergency. I can't blame him that much though. Many things in the buildings are falling apart - especially the AC units. He's stretched so thin already - good luck getting that fixed when it inevitably breaks!
Advice to owner:
You have to hire more maintenance staff. Service the AC units. Stop giving us excuses about that. Also, improve the laundry.

Declining steadily for 10 years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator and laundry in the basement, heat and hot water have been mostly consistent.
Cons:
Neighbors are constantly breaking the front door entrance or leaving it open which allows vagrants to come in and camp out in the main stairwell, shooting up. Elevator breaks down or gets stuck at least once a month. Rats bigger than Yorkies hang out in the garbage area and sometimes surprise you in the laundry room. The super has become less and less responsive over the past few years to the point where I’ve given up on trying to get things fixed in my home. The price of the laundry machines has continued to go up without notice. Neighbors steal packages if they’re left in the lobby and the building management won’t do anything about it.
Advice to owner:
Fix the front door and try to press charges against anyone who breaks it.

Well maintained for NYC
Former Tenant
Pros:
Affordable and well-maintained unit. Generously apportioned bathroom and bare bones but not too tacky kitchen design.
Cons:
Window leaked during storms and was never fixed. Some large bugs never fully eradicated in basement of unit (it was a first floor duplex). Inadequate soundproofing / loud tiles in hallway made noise an issue between units as well as between lobby and units.

Spacious rooms in a pretty nice location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rooms are spacious and comfortable. AC works pretty well. It is relatively quiet. Also, it is a 10 minute walk to the 123, 45, but the walk is not so bad because there are a lot of things in the area.
Cons:
Getting things fixed is difficult. They could invest in another super because the current one seems overworked.
