Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by David Malek reveal a pattern of inconsistent management quality. Tenants often commend the friendly neighbors and occasionally responsive supers but express widespread dissatisfaction with poor cleanliness, ineffective pest control, and slow or incomplete maintenance. Garbage management is frequently cited as a significant issue, contributing to rodent infestations. Heating issues and outdated appliances are also common complaints. Communication with management and responsiveness are generally rated low, leading to frustration among renters. While some tenants appreciate the affordability and community feel, many advise improvements in upkeep, ethical management practices, and timely repairs to enhance tenant satisfaction and living conditions.

Horrible Management and Building

Pros

The building had friendly neighbors.

Cons

Extremely slow maintenance, building cleanliness, roaches and mice, non repair of old/out dated appliances, and doctored documents from management to prevent return of your security.

Advice to the owners

Upgrade the quality of your appliances and cleanliness from pests for your tenants, respond timely to maintenance, issues, operate ethically when tenants leave and not make up documents to prevent returning security.

My home for the past 8 years!!

Pros

Kind neighbors and overall community, the apartments have newer appliances and a seemingly modern finish.

Cons

Landlord is never available; people are charged miraculous fees for God knows why; building maintenance never does their job completely… our bathroom ceiling fell as the result of the tenant three floors above us and the ceiling has never been properly replaced, causing mold issues. Laundromat downstairs is never working, has excess lint and mold… takes your money and doesn’t put the money on your card.
