Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Mitchell Shpelfogel consistently reveal significant dissatisfaction with building upkeep and management responsiveness. Common issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, pervasive pest infestations, and maintenance problems such as leaks and faulty heating. Many tenants report slow or nonexistent responses from management to these issues, leading to a decline in building condition over time. Despite some appreciation for large apartments and neighborhood location, the overall tenant experience is negative, with calls for improved staffing, better maintenance, and more attentive management to restore properties to a livable and secure state.
