Review Summary for Dekalb Plaza Realty LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight varying experiences with buildings managed by DEKALB PLAZA REALTY LLC. While one property on Dekalb Avenue impresses with cleanliness and no pest issues, another on Central Avenue faced a severe fly infestation, leading to lease termination. Tenant feedback praises the responsive owner at one location but criticizes the unresponsiveness and maintenance delays by Waterfront Management Co at another property, affecting the living experience. Overall, mixed sentiments regarding building upkeep, neighbor disturbances, and landlord communication indicate the need for consistent management quality across all properties for a better resident experience.

Owner broke lease after fly infestation
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to public transit, entertainment and neighborhood vibe.
Cons:
My unit had a pest infestation when Covid first broke out. Roommates and I were spending all of our time at home while flies took over the kitchen and bathrooms. This went on for months. The property was managed by a co-living company called Bungalow. We were able to get a discount on rent for the trouble. We were told with less than 30 days notice that they were ending our lease shortly after the infestation was finally resolved.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for response from landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Convenient location
Kitchen/bath is recently renovated
Can pay rent online
Cons:
Landlord /management co - Waterfront Management Co - run by the 2 Moses, barely responds to any maintenance requests. We had a short lived roach problem and they sent a cut-rate exterminator 3 weeks after initial call was made. You’ll need to contact management multiple times (phone, email) before they take any action whatsoever.

Super *does not* live on site and there is no contact info for this so called super.

Worst part of my (and my roommate’s) experience was the recurring noise issue with our upstairs neighbor (4th floor), Abraham. This wannabe rocker with the perpetual RBF will play the most awful music at any hour, usually at 5/6am or sometimes from 11pm to 6am, continuously. As you can guess, we complained about this to management multiple times, and they basically did nothing.
Advice to owner:
Don’t lie about having a super on the building premises when there isn’t one,
Respond to your tenants maintenance or pest control requests in a timely manner,
Treat your tenants with a modicum of respect and they’ll do the same for you.
