Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for EK REALTY, LLC properties reveal a mixed management performance. Positive feedback highlights responsive management in some buildings, with timely upgrades, clean and well-maintained apartments, and attentive supers. Many units are rent stabilized and located in generally quiet neighborhoods with decent heating and water pressure. However, several properties suffer from persistent pest and roach infestations, poor cleanliness, and insufficient garbage management. Some tenants report negligence in maintenance, unresolved security issues including package theft, and disruptive neighbors. Heating problems and noisy environments are also common complaints. Overall, while some buildings are managed well, consistent pest control, cleanliness, and improved responsiveness remain key management areas needing attention.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Much improved!!! (Edited)

Pros

Low priced area compared to most other parts of Manhattan. Rent stabilized building. Quiet area.

Cons

The building needs maintenance especially in the common areas. The elevator doors are especially embarrassing. They're filthy, dilapidated, everything needs a coat of paint. Roaches in the lobby and basement during summer months. The apartment itself is fine. 2026 Edit: Since writing this review initially, things have improved! They recently painted pretty much the entire interior of the building, including the elevators. It looks and feels so much better to live here.

Advice to the owners

Maybe fix the windows in the lobby so they close. They seem to always be open which allows pests to walk in.
