Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Ramin Shalom reveal a mixed management reputation. Tenants appreciate great locations, spacious units, and in some cases, friendly superintendents who enhance the community feel. However, numerous renters report persistent pest issues, poor cleanliness, ongoing disruptive construction, and management's slow or unresponsive maintenance responses. Complaints also include inconsistent heating, old facilities, and security concerns such as loose door locks. While some buildings are well-maintained and recommended by residents, others suffer from neglect and tenant dissatisfaction. Overall, expect variability in upkeep and responsiveness, with management often criticized for inadequate communication and delayed repairs.

Great location, awful maintenance

Pros

Great location. Love my neighbors they are all super lovely.

Cons

Water constantly goes on and off without notifying tenants. Pest control is a major issue! They have a bedbug issue but don't report it. I had bedbugs only 2 months after moving in having never had an issue with bedbugs in the 28 years I've lived in NYC. I also has gaslit by the super about it. The hallways are super dirty and dusty and haven't been cleaned in years and the laundry room is constantly dirty and roaches everywhere. For any potential renter, DO NOT rent here! It's not worth it. Management does nothing to actually fix the ongoing pest issues in the building, including falsifying bedbug records: Units 10E, 2F, 3F, and 9E have had bedbugs and none of the adjoining units were properly inspected. Tenants also weren't notified of this issue, we found out about it from other tenants.

Advice to the owners

Clean the actual hallways and stairwells, and actually do proper pest control for bedbugs.

Great location, terrible management

Pros

The location and layout of the building can’t be beat.

Cons

The management that bought the building and took over in 2025 has completely ruined the experience of living here. Gut renovating the building from the inside out, with no regard for habitability for the current tenants having to endure constantly invasive construction. Refuse to address issues with certain tenants smoking in the building. The newly renovated apartments are priced so ridiculously high for the experience of living in this building, it’s a joke. They have taken a historic pre-war with history and charm and turned it into a complete disaster.
