Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Zahir Cifkalowsi reflect a mixed tenant experience. Some tenants praise the quiet, safe environment and neighborly community, appreciating renovated units and convenient locations near transit. However, many express concerns over inconsistent maintenance, cleanliness issues, pest problems, and outdated facilities like laundry machines. Communication and responsiveness from management are often described as slow or unhelpful, with delayed repairs and occasional neglect of essential safety features. Garbage management and water pressure receive varied feedback, highlighting uneven building upkeep. Prospective renters should expect a community-oriented atmosphere but may encounter challenges with management’s timely problem resolution and building maintenance consistency.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Nice units but expensive

Pros

Generally good clean quiet building and felt safe.

Cons

My unit had no natural light as windows looked into tiny alley. Also takes awhile for repairs to be done when asked for.

Advice to the owners

For units not renstablized should be more consistent with rent increases they were all over the place.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Not worth the price.

Pros

Neighbors are nice and welcoming.

Cons

When I moved in they didn't bother to clean it. There was no smoke or Co2 alarm in the unit. The bathroom has mold and the faucets leak. Plus there's falling concrete in the bathroom. When I put in a request, it was ignored. Often there was no hot water and we'd have to wait a few days for it to be fixed. My unit has roaches and I've heard other tenants mention mice and rats. I am in the process of moving out and have been harassed by the landlord. She is a liar and do not believe anything she tells you. Get everything in writing.
