Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

John McDermott's buildings offer great locations near public transit with spacious apartments and ample amenities like gyms and pools that many tenants appreciate. The staff, including doormen and maintenance, generally receive praise for friendliness and responsiveness. However, management policies often frustrate renters due to frequent rent hikes, uncommunicated fees, and slow or inconsistent handling of maintenance issues, especially elevator reliability. Persistent construction noise, pest problems, and occasional cleanliness issues also negatively impact living conditions. Overall, expect well-maintained facilities managed by friendly staff, but be prepared for management decisions prioritizing profit over tenant comfort with room for operational improvements.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Great building but a BIG building

Pros

Great for what it is, nice apartment near the subway and in a great area, decently priced compared to others

Cons

Elevators take forever, too many people and too many floors for just two. Building could use some updates.

Do not move here

Pros

literally nothing. except the one of the 5 million minimum wage paid doormen who fist bumps me whenever i come home

Cons

elevator broken once a week AC constantly not working hot water turned off once a week water pressure terrible ogden cap is the greediest and slimiest property management in nyc

Advice to the owners

sell the building to a management company that actually cares about its tenants. you've made it painfully clear that profit comes before people. maybe it’s time to let someone else try who hasn’t given up on doing the bare minimum.
