Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Alan Plotnik reveal a pattern of poor maintenance and management. Tenants frequently report unclean common areas, persistent pest infestations, and broken amenities that receive only temporary fixes. Although the buildings have spacious units and convenient locations, many renters express frustration with lack of responsiveness from management, steep rent increases, and unresolved safety and sanitary issues, including homeless presence in lobbies. The superintendents are described as overworked or frequently changing, which contributes to inconsistent upkeep. Overall, renters should expect attractive unit sizes but prepare for ongoing maintenance challenges and limited communication from management.

Beware: Falling Apart with Bandaid Fixes

Pros

Unit size, kitchen, supe, water pressure

Cons

Filthy common spaces, broken things requiring replacement are always fixed but break again quickly, and an atrocious laundry room

Advice to the owners

Replace broken things beyond repair. Sanitize the laundry room. Clean the floors on each level.

Horrible Owner, Poor Management

Pros

Convenient to subway, nice size apts

Cons

POOR management - owner is completely unreachable They also raise rents by 30-40% without proper notice and do not negotiate. Completely unreasonable. Horrible owner who violates the law.

Advice to the owners

Reasonable rent increases, follow the law, be more responsive to tenant concerns. We are people, not your passive income.
