Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Howard Alkoff reveals a mixed experience. Pros include family-friendly environments, pet tolerance, and some proactive staff with good locations. However, recurring issues with elevator reliability, poor management responsiveness, and inadequate maintenance are common complaints. Garbage disposal policies are restrictive, and pest control efforts are often insufficient. Tenants report noise problems and concerns about building cleanliness. Management is often perceived as unprofessional and sometimes biased or neglectful toward long-term residents. Improvements in repairs, professional maintenance, and better tenant relations would enhance living conditions, as current management struggles to consistently meet residents' basic needs.

Elevator is always broken

Pros

Neighbors are decent

Cons

Elevator is always broken, it breaks down at least once a month for multiple days. This building is not for elderly or the disable. And the building could be a bit cleaner.
