Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Rudolf Kats reveals consistent issues with management responsiveness, particularly regarding maintenance and pest control. While residents appreciate the favorable locations, good neighbors, and quiet surroundings, complaints about unresolved roach infestations, prolonged broken doors, and ongoing construction noise are common. Garbage management and cleanliness receive mixed ratings, and water pressure is generally acceptable. Several tenants advise the management to improve communication and be more proactive in addressing repair requests and pest problems. Overall, prospective renters should expect a landlord who struggles with timely responsiveness and building upkeep despite decent neighborhood qualities.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Shitty landlord, nice area

Pros

Nice neighborhood and neighbors

Cons

Hard to get in touch with landlord about anything. Jason called my roommate a slur over the phone and lied about sending the lease renewal late after hiking up our rent. Roach issue and broken front door.
