Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Wayne Ngai indicate strong overall satisfaction with cleanliness, management responsiveness, and tenant-friendly staff. Residents appreciate the well-maintained facilities, quick maintenance responses, and prime locations. However, there are notable concerns regarding significant rent increases, especially in non-rent stabilized units, and inconsistent elevator service.

Reviews

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

Solid building in UES

Pros

Staff and location are the best things about this building. They are slowly starting to renovate units as people move out which is great

Cons

Lived in this building for a little over 2 years. Would stay here for another 3 years if the renewal rate wasn’t so high and they do not budge, especially if you’re in an attractive line

Advice to the owners

Focus on retention

Former tenant·1 week ago

really nice building but expensive

Pros

really nothing else to complain, the maintenance is fast, doorman (most of them) are welcoming and friendly. very clean building at a great location. Sound proof is very good as well.

Cons

the rent increase is kind of crazy, you can negotiate a little with the management company but very limited. When you move out - they defintely overcharge you for repair/paint/clean - so you just have to take that into consideration
