Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Shlomo Karpen predominantly point to significant maintenance and safety concerns. Issues include poor cleanliness, rampant pest infestations (notably rats and flies), and unreliable heating systems. Several reviewers highlight hazardous conditions like electrical problems, mold, and unsafe outdoor staircases. Management responsiveness is frequently described as slow or inadequate, with some citing broken lease agreements after unresolved pest issues. Noise problems and problematic neighbors add to tenant dissatisfaction. While some appreciate unique building features and a strong tenant community, the consensus urges better upkeep, adherence to safety codes, and more timely, responsible management to improve living conditions in these properties.

Reviews

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.
