Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 934 Myrtle Avenue reveal significant challenges for tenants. While some appreciate the affordable rent, updated interiors, and basic utilities functioning, pervasive pest issues—especially cockroach infestations—and subpar cleanliness mar the living experience. Garbage management is often criticized, and the building lacks elevators and central HVAC, leading to discomfort during seasonal extremes. Noise and disruptive neighbors also detract from the environment. Security concerns were noted, with limited management response and rent increases adding to frustrations. Outdoor spaces and laundry facilities are positives but overall, renters urge better pest control, improved maintenance, and greater owner responsiveness to enhance livability.

Cockroach sanctuary and bad neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
Heat and water worked I guess
Cons:
So many cockroaches really unsafe and horrific to try and sleep, neighbors next door had seemingly troubled kid that would constantly scream and bash something that sounded like his own head into the wall over and over for hours at a time and no one would ever stop it.
Advice to owner:
Fix roach problem

Not a bad first apartment but roach galore
Former Tenant
Pros:
- exposed brick - updated bathroom and kitchen - fire escape and nice lighting - laundry next door - kind about accepting late rent
Cons:
- roaches everywhere. have now infiltrated our rooms. exterminators barely come. and when they do they dont do the job right and spray chemicals everywhere except where roaches may come from (on our shoes, oven mitts etc.) The roaches kinda go way in the winter bc its cold but no one cares to fix the roach problem and its excessive. hard to live like this.
- no central cooling or heating system. very warm indoors during summer even with a/c. our plants died bc of the humidity and the air doesnt carry from living room to rooms
- no windows in bathroom so very humid
- during the winter, a man climbed up the fire escape and opened my window while i was sleeping (my bed is right up against the window.) maybe i was spiritually protected bc i was not harmed but definitely couldve been. i was lucky. im now afriad to open my window. building barely did anything to help— i got my own alarm system
- toilet has trouble flushing and constantly makes odd noises
- building (not apartment) itself is dark. not a big deal but itd be nice if it were cleaner
- laundry is right next door but have to pay which is annoying but fine. payment through an app
- smalll rooms
- living room windows look straight into someone else’s apartment
- tiny closets
- not enough space
- rent being raised
- not a suitable building for ppl with physical disabilities
- not elevator just stairs on stairs
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants and try helping them instead of charging an absurd amount for what we actually get. And then increasing rent on top of that. its crazy.
