Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Alex Kalajian reflects well-maintained properties with clean environments, effective garbage management, and attentive staff. Many appreciate the convenient location and amenities such as gyms and doormen who are responsive and kind. However, several renters note significant noise issues, especially near busy streets and train tracks, which can impact comfort despite the building's sound insulation efforts. Heating system concerns and large fluctuations in utility bills have been raised, alongside occasional pest problems and management responsiveness varying by location. While most tenants approve of owner engagement, some call for improvements in management responsiveness and building maintenance to enhance resident satisfaction.

Good Location and Apts

Pros

Cons

Lots of highway traffic and noise

Former tenant·4 months ago

Friendly doorman, noisy building

Pros

Friendly doorman, well managed. While living there the trash didn’t build up, and the super responded to issues in a timely manner as did the owner of the unit. Seems like owners live in the apartment or own it and rent it out so it makes dealing with repairs etc. much easier that a management company with no interest in maintaining the units in good condition. Has some nice amenities like the gym (small, but has enough equipment), bike room. Some units have roof top terrace for additional cost and a communal grill/party room on the ground floor.

Cons

Very loud building due to the train tracks being next to it, entrance to midtown tunnel (that means a lot of morning commute road rage and honking starting early), busy intersection just in front. So, all sides of this building will deal with some kind of loud traffic. Windows don’t feel like they do much to muffle sound/insulate. Heating/AC units are old and extremely loud. They work as they should cool/heat properly, but extremely loud.
