Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Victor Gjoka reveal a strong appreciation for prime locations and affordable rents with spacious apartments and good natural light. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or unhelpful, especially regarding recurring pest issues such as bed bugs and mice, as well as heating and water problems during winter. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with some tenants noting dirty common areas. Tenants urge for thorough pest control treatments, better unit maintenance, and more prompt, attentive management. While some find the buildings suitable for students or budget renters, overall, prospective tenants should prepare for management challenges and ongoing maintenance concerns.

Beware - Bed bugs

Pros

The location is amazing!! The apartment has great light and is relatively spacious for the price. Large bedrooms and nice kitchen for nyc standards.

Cons

Multiple infestations of bed bugs. One neighbor is not being treated which causes everyone else to get repeated infestations. Management simply ignored us by now and is not dealing with the issue. Sent an exterminator for treatment but the issue is in the walls, need to fully deal with the problem.

Advice to the owners

Have a building wide treatment of bed bugs

Former tenant·11 months ago

Solid spot for new grads or NYU students

Pros

Location Good value

Cons

Mice issue, exterminator came once a month but unless caught and killed by self little could be done. Updates could be made to appliances and kitchen. Creaky floors, thin walls between units.

Advice to the owners

The upkeep in the stairwells could be better. Mud, dirt, and trash are often there for days on end. A more organized package
