Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of Michael Malek's buildings frequently commend spacious apartments and certain well-maintained properties known for cleanliness and responsive staff. However, a significant portion of reviews cite poor management of sanitation, pest infestations (roaches, mice, bedbugs), and heating system failures, severely affecting living conditions. Multiple reports mention rude or unresponsive supers and delays in repairs, plus issues with package theft due to inadequate security measures. Noise and neighborhood environment vary widely by location. Overall, while some buildings are satisfactory, prospective tenants should expect inconsistent management quality, persistent maintenance challenges, and a need for improved pest control and communication from ownership.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Classic large NYC building

Pros

Kept very clean, super and staff were always on top of lobby maintenance. Garbage rooms were cleared out regularly. Big apartments. Pretty quite if you're near the back.

Cons

Rare that all of the washer/dryers are functional in the laundry room. Big building so might take a while to get repairs, etc addressed.

Former tenant·8 months ago

Poorly maintained building

Pros

Huge apartments, tall ceilings, lots of natural light. Maintenance is very responsive. Location is good.

Cons

Too much noise from the street traffic, very poorly maintained, poor waste management, sidewalk is filthy, and there are mice and roaches.

Advice to the owners

Do a better job with sanitation of the building
