Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on Arik Lifshitz's buildings shows a mixed experience. Many appreciate the large apartment spaces, responsive superintendents, and some helpful staff like doormen. However, chronic issues with heating inefficiency, poor noise insulation, and ongoing construction disturbances are common complaints. Pest management is generally effective, but garbage management varies by location. Rent increases and lease inflexibility are concerns for several renters. Communication with management is inconsistent; while some find the owner responsive, others report slow or unhelpful responses. Overall, expect sizable units and attentive on-site staff, but be prepared for maintenance challenges and potential noise or heating problems.

Expect a lot of issues

Pros

Spacious unit, large bathroom, well-maintained gym, and laundry room. The building staff is amazing.

Cons

There were several water leaks, hot water issues, and a lot of noise coming into the apartment. During facade construction, which wasn't mentioned at the lease signing and lasted 2 years-ish, I got sick from all the dust coming in from outside. The management never apologized or compensated for the damages caused by the building.

Old building with nice staff

Pros

- Nice staff who are responsive - Solid noise isolation between units - Units are large

Cons

- Heating is done via radiators/window units, so it's not particularly efficient - Upper units reporter water leakage during storms sometimes - Some insect issues in summer
