Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by John McCarthy reveal a mix of experiences with management responsiveness and building conditions. Positive feedback highlights clean, modern apartments with helpful, timely management and attentive maintenance staff, especially in higher-end or recently renovated buildings. However, several properties suffer from noise issues due to nearby bars or thin walls, inconsistent heating, pest problems, and occasional water pressure concerns. Some tenants express frustration with poor communication, delayed repairs, and management ignoring complaints, particularly in pricier or rent-stabilized units. Overall, expect proactive management in some locations but prepare for variability in maintenance quality and tenant relations across different buildings.

Tenant's honest review

Pros

It's centrally located.

Cons

The building is next to a bar, and the noise from the bar patrons carries into the building from Wednesday through Saturday. People gather outside the bar on those nights, and their cigarette and marijuana smoke drifts into the apartments throughout the day and night.

Advice to the owners

Get the bar owner to properly manage its patrons.
