Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Moses Karpen reflects a mixed experience with management responsiveness and building upkeep. Some buildings are praised for cleanliness, good garbage management, and well-maintained amenities, with tenants appreciating modern finishes, safe neighborhoods, and helpful online portals. However, significant concerns include inconsistent responsiveness to maintenance and pest control requests, recurring safety issues, noise problems, and pest infestations. Rent hikes are seen as high relative to the condition of some apartments. Tenants also report problematic neighbors and soundproofing issues. Overall, prospective renters should expect variable management attentiveness, with improvements needed in safety enforcement, maintenance timeliness, and building infrastructure.

Reviews

Former tenant·6 months ago

Dependable and good amenities

Pros

Management portal to report issues was simple, responded somewhat quickly (1 week or less), elevator good condition, trash chute very useful

Cons

Soundproofing between apartments was suboptimal (could get noisy both on the floor and from above floor), raised rent without making improvements (though not too high)

Former tenant·9 months ago

Wish they cared enough...

Pros

The style, with upkeep could be absolutely spectacular

Cons

Safety was an issue. Had a baby in 2020, was living there, paint chips fell from ceiling, weird dust on brick wall, faulty plugs that would randomly spark up, exposed wood under loft part of the apartment.

Advice to the owners

STOP CUTTING CORNERS.
