Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for EL-KAM REALTY CO. managed buildings reveals a mixed management experience. Responsive and friendly supers who often live on-site contribute positively, with many tenants appreciating timely maintenance and pest control when present. However, owner responsiveness fluctuates; some complain about slow or poor responses to heating issues, pest infestations, and maintenance requests, impacting tenant satisfaction. Garbage management and cleanliness are generally acceptable but occasionally fall short, leading to unpleasant odors and messes. Noise levels and neighbor behavior can vary widely, sometimes disrupting quiet enjoyment. Overall, tenants recommend buildings with proactive supers but urge improved communication and consistent upkeep from management to enhance living conditions.
