Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback about Emil Friedman's buildings reveals a mix of positives and challenges. Tenants often praise the location, spacious apartments, and friendly neighbors. However, persistent issues include inconsistent management responsiveness, unresolved maintenance problems such as mold, pests, water leaks, and poor garbage management. Some buildings experience heating irregularities and noise disturbances, with management sometimes slow or dismissive in addressing concerns. Despite these drawbacks, tenants note some improvement over time and appreciate occasional promptness on simpler requests. Prospective renters should anticipate variable management quality, with a need for more proactive and thorough building upkeep.

Great people, horrible mgmt

Pros

amazing neighbors and good location

Cons

HORRIBLE management, they let other tenants create unsanitary living conditions for the other tenants and don't fix anything

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Good for what it is

Pros

- Convenient location! Close to the train station, prospect park, grocery store, and laundry directly across the street - Small building, so you get to know familiar faces - Regular pest inspections, and the exterminator is friendly and professional - Full security deposit returned with no hassle when moving out

Cons

- Super can be unresponsive, so you often have to follow up repeatedly or contact building management to get things done - Water damage and mold issues

Advice to the owners

Please respond to maintenance requests more quickly and take long-term action to prevent water leaks and mold instead of relying on temporary fixes.
