Review Summary for David Laikin
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by David Laikin reflects a mixed yet generally positive experience. Pros include responsive management and superintendents who promptly address pest issues and maintenance concerns. Many appreciate good cleanliness, effective garbage management, and well-maintained common areas, especially in rent-stabilized buildings. However, challenges persist with thin walls causing noise disturbances, occasional pest problems, and some infrastructural shortcomings like slow elevators and subpar water pressure.

Overall, management is seen as engaged and willing to improve, though some apartments may not suit those sensitive to noise or seeking luxury amenities.

Great building, great location.
Former Tenant

Well maintained building and apartments, rent stabilized units, good options for broadband, nice courtyard in back. Super lives in building, management is very responsive to service requests.

Bypass this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Laundry in the building
Cons:
Walls are so paper thin, can literally hear all your neighbours (next, above, under your apartment), as they are literally living with you. Sound proof and isolation seems not to be quite there at all. Management will ask you to pay in regard to improve those things!?! Building efficiency is only somewhat around +-50
Advice to owner:
Improve isolation and sound proofing.
Put noise regulations in place according to the city guidelines.
