Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Besnik Celaj reveals a mixed management reputation. Positive aspects include clean lobbies, strong community feel, and well-maintained apartments with decent water pressure and heating when addressed. However, several reviews highlight significant concerns: inconsistent responsiveness from the owner, language barriers with supers, and delayed or insufficient repairs leading to deteriorating apartment conditions. Cleanliness varies widely—some buildings suffer from poor sanitation, pest issues, and neglected common areas. Noise and neighbor quality also differ between properties. Tenants urge management to improve maintenance responsiveness, enhance communication, and invest in building upkeep to avoid escalating problems.

Advice to the owners

Invest in your building . The longer you wait the more costly it will become to fix it . Please bring a super that speaks English and Spanish as most of your tenants do. Automate repair tickets and rent collection to online process .
