Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Shari Serrano consistently report poor building maintenance and unresponsive management. Tenants frequently mention inadequate heating, weak water pressure, and cleanliness issues, with pest control either ineffective or absent. Noise disturbances and problematic neighbors are common complaints, exacerbated by management's failure to address tenant concerns or enforce rules. Elevator malfunctions have affected vulnerable residents without timely fixes. Despite affordable rents and good locations, management’s lack of transparency, accountability, and adequate repairs leads to tenant dissatisfaction and discouragement. Overall, renters advise significant improvements in responsiveness, maintenance, and tenant relations to enhance living conditions under this landlord.

Advice to the owners

Have a heart

Former tenant·3 months ago

Good luck getting landlord to take care of his building

Pros

The location is great.

Cons

The management is unresponsive to tenant problems. The elevator breaks often leaving disabled or elderly people stranded (sometimes stuck outside for hours). The building is rarely cleaned. I've not seen pest control in years. They allegedly come on Saturdays but despite me being home on Saturday's I never see them. We often run out of hot water and heat during the winter. Some tenants are disruptive and harasses other tenants yet the landlord doesn't attempt to remediate the problem. The management office is pointless. They don't return your calls nor do they do anything.

Advice to the owners

Get out of the real estate business.
