Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by Shazad Ali is mixed, with some praising the management's responsiveness and maintenance promptness, especially regarding laundry facilities and heat control. The location of the buildings is considered highly convenient. However, concerns are frequent about noise levels—particularly due to nearby bars and street activity—poor cleanliness in common areas, problematic garbage management, occasional pest issues, and low water pressure. Several reviewers report disturbances from outdoor noise and trash overflow affecting their living experience. While some tenants approve of the owner and recommend the buildings, others strongly advise against renting due to ongoing maintenance and safety issues.

Noisy Building I Would Avoid

Pros

The location is great, management is fairly responsive

Cons

It is the most insanely noisy building ever if you face the orchard st side, mr purple and all the bars downstairs will keep you up all night, there were multiple times were people were lighting fireworks that almost shot into my window, the other side might be okay but not sure

Pros

Location is perfect and close to many subway lines, neighbors are friendly, laundry machines work well, maintenance is prompt

Cons

It’s noisy and you need to sleep with earplugs
