Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Ari Koth report persistent issues with maintenance, pest infestations, and poor garbage management. Many describe unresponsive and absent management, leading to unresolved repairs and security concerns like broken locks and stolen packages. Despite some positive notes on location and neighbors, frequent complaints highlight delayed or ignored maintenance requests, heating problems, and withheld security deposits. Communication with management is often described as difficult or nonexistent, with no clear contact methods. Rent hikes and lack of transparency further frustrate tenants. Overall, renters can expect challenges with upkeep and responsiveness under this landlord's management.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Poorly managed and maintained

Pros

A great location in between two major subway lines, with access to tons of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and shopping. Laundry in unit is a major plus.

Cons

Management is mostly unresponsive to even major complaints (for example, the front door lock was broken for 7 months before it was finally fixed). They frequently are between cleaning staff and the building will go weeks without having the hallways cleaned or the trash cleared. Apartments are in poor shape overall, but there seems to be no point to complaining about issues. Neighbors frequently smoke in the hallways, play fetch with their dog in entrance lobby, and have loud, prolonged conversations in public areas that can be heard inside the apartments. Update: had to sue landlord to get security deposit back after weeks of complaining and promising they would send it

Advice to the owners

Address maintenance issues promptly and correctly, and keep the building clean and safe to live in

Former tenant·6 months ago

Big space and great neighbors with some small challenges

Pros

Close to the 2/5, 15 min walk to prospect park, right next to wingate park as well, quiet area (near the hospital so occasionally sirens but less than we expected), pet friendly, super is responsive and kind

Cons

We have not had cooking gas available due to an issue with management and con Edison regarding a previous tenant. Was told by management to just “keep calling and someone will fix it eventually”—they did not. We use an induction cooktop now, to our knowledge this has only affected our unit. Near the dept of sanitation hub and there’s always some litter on the street corners and the garbage trucks park long New York Ave

Advice to the owners

Better communication about non emergent maintenance issues
