Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by Alex Kohen experience mixed conditions. While some properties benefit from responsive management, affordable rents, and decent heating, others suffer from delayed repairs, poor cleanliness, and pest problems. Garbage management varies greatly, and water pressure is inconsistent. Several reviewers highlight slow owner responsiveness and inadequate building security, leading to package theft and unauthorized entry. Noise levels and neighbor quality range widely between buildings. Accessibility issues like lack of ADA access and problematic staircases add to residents' challenges. Overall, expect a management team that can be responsive in some cases but also exhibits neglect and maintenance shortcomings in others.

It's just fine

Pros

the neighbors are all chill

Cons

6 floor walk up should be illegal, and there's no ADA access

Former tenant·27 minutes ago

Great neighborhood, pretty responsive management

Pros

Great neighborhood, pretty responsive management. Relatively affordable.

Cons

Area itself can be loud, especially on holidays. Some bug problems in warmer weather. However, there’s a monthly exterminator.
