Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Martin Kalt shows a mixed management experience. Many appreciate the cleanliness of common areas, timely maintenance response, and well-managed garbage disposal. Rent stabilization and pet-friendliness are praised, as is the proximity to parks and public transit. However, pest control remains a recurring and significant issue, with several complaints about roaches and mice. Noise from neighbors and ineffective handling of tenant complaints has also been noted. Communication can be inconsistent—some tenants report difficulty reaching management or getting follow-up on concerns. Overall, expect responsive but sometimes slow management with room for improvement in pest and noise control.
