Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of OMER KUKAJ's buildings note generally decent cleanliness and attentive pest control in several buildings, with some properties featuring responsive management and well-maintained common areas. However, persistent issues include hostile or slow owner responsiveness, especially during package theft and maintenance complaints, and recurring pest infestations like roaches and rats in some locations. Garbage management can be inconsistent, and noise levels vary depending on the neighborhood. Rent stabilization and tenant rights enforcement appear lacking in places. Overall, renters can expect mixed management experiences, with some buildings offering helpful staff and timely fixes, while others suffer from neglect and poor communication.

Reviews

Great apt with some caveats

Pros

Beautiful redone interiors in apartment generally affordable pest control comes in regularly New super keeps everything pristine The neatest garbage area of any aprtment I've ever lived in a really neighborhood, everyone says hi esp in the summer when everyone is outside. But the outside noise almost never trickles inside the building

Cons

crazy package theft issue. almost everything is at risk. when escalated to management was given a weird and somewhat hostile response, that has made me too uncomfortable to ever reach out again. I've heard from others in the building that this rude and hositle additude is common

Advice to the owners

less hostile responses to issues outside of your control.
