Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Victor Sismanoglou reveals a mixed experience correlated with varying maintenance and management quality across properties. Some buildings are praised for cleanliness, decent security, large apartments, and good neighborliness, especially in prime locations. However, multiple reviewers cite severe issues such as inadequate heat and hot water, poor garbage and pest management, and unresponsiveness from management and superintendents. Incidences of neglected maintenance, problematic construction work without proper permits, and feelings of tenant distrust and surveillance are reported. While a few tenants approve and recommend certain buildings, many raise urgent calls for improved communication, timely repairs, and a more respectful and proactive landlord presence.

Beautiful building and location

Pros

A lots of light, large lobby and hallways. Exposed brick walls and large windows.

Cons

Area is windy in general

Treating the heat like some sort of torture machine

Pros

Really quiet street. Sweet neighborhood.

Cons

They turn the heat off at night and then on in the morning briefly and then off all day. I'm not sure, are they trying to get people to move out? Hmmm... For real though, it's november and they are playing with the temperature in a way that does not seem legal.
