Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by SOCRATES FORADOULAS note spacious apartments with high ceilings and good natural light, often praised along with the convenient location and affordability. However, many reviews raise concerns about aging infrastructure leading to frequent issues with heating, hot water, elevators, and plumbing. Pest control and soundproofing are commonly cited as inadequate, while garbage management is generally satisfactory. Management responsiveness is inconsistent, with some tenants appreciating the superintendent's efforts but overall reporting slow or ineffective handling of repairs and maintenance. Several renters urge the owner to invest more in building repairs, security upgrades, and improve communication to enhance tenant experience.

Reviews

Great Space for the $

Pros

The windows make your apartment feel SO much larger.

Cons

INability to control heat, so even when it's 60 outside in March, you're stuck sweating in your apartment. Old pipes, so leaks happen often.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Old and unmaintained building

Pros

Lofted ceilings and open floor plan

Cons

Old and unmaintained, poor sound insulation between apts and floors, pest problems (cockroaches and bedbugs), problems with no heat, no hot water, roof leaks, and broken elevator service.
