Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for properties managed by Gezim Kapaj reveal a mixed experience among tenants. Many appreciate the quiet locations and the responsiveness of the superintendents; however, management responsiveness to maintenance issues and pest control is notably lacking. Several residents reported serious cleanliness and heating issues, alongside frustrations with broken laundry facilities. Noise levels were generally low, and neighbor relations appeared positive, yet consistent maintenance and proactive management strategies have been highlighted as major areas for improvement. Overall, while some tenants recommend the buildings for their charm and amenities, urgent attention to management practices is essential for enhancing resident satisfaction.

Former tenant·just now

Okay building, lived there for two years, we were priced out

Pros

quiet great location there was laundry (though it didn't work 5-8x during the 2 years we were there - sometimes flooded or didn't dry clothes), but it was still fine (quarter operated) - 3 washers and 3 dryers super's family was very nice

Cons

laundry in basement was convenient but not always working (10-20% of the time) and sometimes there was backlog you will probably see mice / rats in the courtyard at night (not sure if cat helped) apartment was very hot during winter (central heating) saw 1 cockroach and 1 mouse in our unit during our time here kinda yucky raised rent

Heat was extremely hot in the winter and hard to adjust. Some bugs near the trash area.
