Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Ronald Katz reveals a mixed management reputation. Positive remarks highlight spacious, well-maintained apartments in generally clean buildings with strong pest control and good water pressure. Friendly supers and timely garbage management are noted strengths. However, several tenants report significant frustrations with owner responsiveness, describing communication as rude, dismissive, or slow. Pest problems, particularly roaches, and noise issues due to poor soundproofing are recurring complaints. Safety concerns and mismanagement of subletting in some properties have severely impacted residents. Overall, tenants can expect decent apartment value but may face challenges with management's attentiveness, maintenance timeliness, and community safety.

Reviews

Management sucks, super is rude and doesn't know how to manage a building

Pros

Apartments are a really good value for the money. A lot of space and on a nice quiet block close to lots of restaurants.

Cons

The management handles things really poorly. There was a roach infestation a few months ago and it was handled really poorly until everyone in the building started complaining and then it was a mess generally. Elvis, the Super, is really bad and he's rude to people. Overall it wasn't worth it in the end.
