Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Nick Smajlat indicates generally well-maintained apartments in desirable locations with clean interiors and good neighbors. However, management responsiveness is often criticized as slow and unhelpful, with multiple reports of unresolved maintenance issues, including heating problems and mishandled apartment repairs. Garbage management and pest control are inconsistent, occasionally leading to unpleasant odors and unsanitary conditions. Some tenants describe management communication as dismissive, especially regarding security concerns like package theft. While many recommend living in the buildings due to the apartments themselves, they urge management to improve attentiveness, accountability, and tenant service to enhance the overall living experience.

Great Apartment, Mediocre Management

Pros

I have lived in this building for almost 2 years. I have loved my apartment itself - it is nicely updated, well-kept, and in a great area.

Cons

Management is pretty terrible. Issues with package stealing were blamed on tenants, and I received a snarky email from management when I inquired about it. The lobby hallway will have an awful odor and wet floors about 1 time per week (and I'm still not sure what the smell or wetness is from). To make matters worse, our medicine cabinet fell off our wall, hit my roommate on the head and gave her a concussion, and broke several hundred dollars worth of beauty products. Management was unhelpful, finally sending someone to fix the cabinet 2 months later. They entered our apartment with no warning. This is despite the fact we had explicitly told management that no one was allowed inside the apartment to fix the medicine cabinet without one of us being there. The person who came in installed another (!) broken medicine cabinet, scared our dog, and used the toilet without flushing and putting the seat back down. When we spoke to management about this, they were unapologetic, and it took us several more weeks to get a third medicine cabinet.
