Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Zal Pollak reveal significant management challenges. Tenants frequently report poor maintenance, including pervasive pest infestations (rats, mice, roaches), mold problems, and issues with garbage disposal leading to unsanitary common areas. Although some units have modern finishes and amenities, overall cleanliness and upkeep are lacking. Management responsiveness is generally deemed slow or unhelpful, which exacerbates tenant frustrations. Despite a few positive notes on location and neighbors, the consensus advises caution due to ongoing hygiene and maintenance concerns. Rent stabilization is generally absent, and many renters do not recommend these properties under current management standards.

Poorly Maintained Building

Pros

Neighbors were nice & location is good.

Cons

Management is not responsive, building is poorly maintained/trash is not well maintained, and building had tons of issues (water damage/leaks, mold, pests).

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Major Rat Issue

Pros

The landlord is responsive, there are dishwashers in unit and a washing machine in the basement. The building feels somewhat recently updated and the bathrooms are nice.

Cons

Only windows are in the bedrooms. Main issue is that there is a rat infestation outside of the building — seems like there is a huge rat nest directly under the trash area outside the building. Many rats run back and forth in front of the building at night
