Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Alex Pilat indicate a generally positive experience due to well-maintained facilities and friendly staff, particularly doormen and porters. Many appreciate spacious units and good garbage management. However, issues such as noise from street activity, broken elevators, and inconsistent heating during winter have been cited. Unfortunately, management responsiveness varies significantly, with several tenants expressing dissatisfaction regarding communication and support, particularly during maintenance concerns. While amenities are valued, the overall management approach has led some residents to feel undervalued amidst rising rents. Prospective renters should weigh these factors carefully.

Really Great Experience Here

Pros

friendly doormen friendly porters gym in building rooftop access accessibility to subways/train stations/busses great spacious units able to flex apartments

Cons

heat in winter can be too high sometimes - no ability to change heat inside apartment

Former tenant·2 weeks ago

Fine overall but could be improved

Pros

Everybody who works in the building is pretty nice. I've been lucky to not have had any issues, so in the last two and a half years I've lived there.

Cons

They've been repairing the elevators for the past 9 months, and sometimes it takes 5 minutes when an elevator shows up. It's super annoying! Also, the super is a really mean piece of shit, and it sucks, honestly! Plus, even though this is a doorman building, the doormen don't have spare keys, and they charge $100 if you get locked out of your apartment. Which I think, for the prices we're paying for rent, is pretty fucking insane. They also don’t have any lounge or common area which is annoying. They also claim roof access but it’s not a usable rooftop and the alarm sounds if you ever try to go up. For the prices barely any amenities - the gym is there but smells musty and moldy the whole time

Advice to the owners

Dormant should have spare keys. To have to pay for a lockout in a doorman building is ridiculous, and to charge $100 is just a cash grab for no reason, especially when the super is super mean about it.
