I highly discourage anyone from signing a lease with Algin Management due to heavy construction in their buildings and a total lack of decency in terms of management's response.
Due to COVID-19 vacancies, they are tearing up units left and right. You can expect at least 8 hours of drilling, hammering, and vacuuming every day, which resonates through the thin concrete walls in their buildings. This makes it impossible to work from home during quarantine.
From my experience at The Murray Park, management is also impossible to reach. The super (Al Karaqi) and property manager (Dan Hochstadt) don't respond to texts or emails at all - you'll have to get lucky with a well-timed phone call. There is zero notice for upcoming apartment construction, water shutdowns, hallway renovations, etc.
The corporate office also strategically doesn't provide any direct phone numbers. Instead, you have to go through an unpleasant receptionist, who will redirect you to an email address of a supervisor (Danielle Koehler). If you're lucky, she'll call you from an "Unknown" number, so you can't follow up with her.
Overall, I wasted a tremendous amount of money with Algin, paying a premium to live in their "luxury" building, which turned out to be more of a construction workshop and a storage unit, rather than an apartment.
Algin's buildings are a total disaster at the moment, and combined with the poor building management and corporate response, I strongly encourage you to save your money and...

For the past month, from 7am until 8pm on weekdays and Saturdays, there are workers jackhammering, drilling, and hammering non-stop on the terrace. There is construction on this terrace every year for at least one month, currently exceeding 3 months, causing an inordinate amount of noise for residents in 2 buildings that have to look at this atrocity. Management must be full of incompetent idiots to take this long to fix such a small terrace. Best of all, my neighbor asked a daytime doorman what was going on, and he...
