Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by ARKAR INC reveals a mixed experience. Positive reviews praise prompt owner responsiveness and well-maintained units, especially in West Village and certain Manhattan locations, with good cleanliness, light, and neighborly environments. However, several buildings suffer from pest infestations, inconsistent heat, and inadequate maintenance response times. Issues with package theft, noisy surroundings, and unclean common areas were also noted. Management is sometimes described as unresponsive or difficult to reach, and security concerns have been raised. Overall, expect attentive management in some buildings, but be prepared for maintenance delays and pest control challenges in others.
