Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Sol Knopf reflects significant management challenges, particularly regarding pest control issues such as recurring bedbug and roach infestations. Multiple renters report minimal and ineffective treatments that allow problems to persist and spread, negatively impacting resident well-being. Maintenance response times are often slow, with complaints about frequent water outages, leaks, and deteriorating building conditions like mold and falling ceilings. While some appreciate apartment size and location, the overall experience is marred by unresponsive management and poor upkeep. Prospective tenants should expect ongoing maintenance and pest problems unless there is a notable management overhaul.

Pests and overall bare bones maintenance.

Pros

Large apartments. Friendly super and porter. Nice area and affordable rent.

Cons

Repeated bedbug episodes. Building management would treat, but just the bare minimum treatment. It became musical chairs of rotating apartments with bedbugs, since some tenants were not taking care of their apartments or would hide that they had a bedbug problem and lax treatment from management perpetuated the issue. This was several years back; hopefully, the situation has improved.

Advice to the owners

If you have bedbugs in a property, you must go after the issue in full force and educate your tenants to speak up when they have a problem. One apartments bedbug problem becomes the problem of all their neighbors. An infestation can really destroy the mental health and well being of someone living through it.

Not a Good Place to Live

Pros

The size of the apartment, amount of natural light, location to train

Cons

They shut off the hot water all the time, there are roaches, they take a while to actually fix things, the neighbors overflow tubs causing leaks that transpire to entire ceilings coming down, mold, landlord acts like they are unaware of issues and more.
