Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on properties managed by Celeste Lamarche reveals mixed experiences. Positive aspects include responsive supers, well-maintained common areas, and friendly neighbors, especially in Manhattan and select Brooklyn buildings. Tenants value location, quiet environments, and accessibility. However, significant issues persist such as delayed heating repairs, persistent pest problems (especially roaches and rodents), inconsistent garbage management, and security concerns including package theft and building entry controls. Some properties suffer from aging infrastructure, water leaks, and mold, with management occasionally slow to address minor repairs promptly. Overall, renters should anticipate helpful onsite staff but may face challenges with maintenance responsiveness and pest control.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

The management is out to lunch

Pros

- Location - Natural light - Neighbors

Cons

Besides the paper thin walls, ceilings, and floors, the real issue is with management. It took management months to fix radiator issues- noxious odor, sleep disruption from cracking and banging all through the night, and that's when they were "working". Often you were just left to freeze. It took the building making a group chat and coordinating to get any action- one tenant even abandoned his unit because his sleep disruption was so bad. The other primary issue was package theft. It was constant throughout my entire lease and they did nothing about it. We petitioned for the camera footage that is aimed directly at the drop off and they strung us along for over half a year until saying the camera had been broken and not captured anything. The doors were constantly broken. On top of that, any normal requests took ages to get handled if they were handled at all. The only exception is when all it was required was the super's time- the super was great.

Overall a great building

Pros

Lots of storage in my small studio apartment, well-maintained common areas, and responsive super. Quiet building with good neighbors and easy access to subway.

Cons

Laundry in basement closes at 10 pm - not great for night owls or those with alternative work schedules
