Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Michael Garcia reveal a mixed management performance. Tenants appreciate prompt responses and effective superintendents, especially concerning maintenance and pest control in some renovated properties. However, several report inconsistent cleanliness, frequent pest issues (notably roaches and mice), and problematic heating systems. Security concerns and noise levels are recurring problems, with broken elevators lasting months and insufficient soundproofing. Communication with management can be slow or absent, aggravating tenant dissatisfaction. Overall, while some buildings are well-maintained and in good locations, others suffer from neglect, requiring improvements in safety, pest control, and more proactive management to enhance tenant experiences.

Reviews

Former tenant·2 months ago

Nice people live in this building

Pros

Responsive friendly, super. Locked package room

Cons

In a 6 floor building that has a lot of elderly people as residents, the elevator has been broken for 3 months with no obvious effort to fix it. Have been security issues in the past, like package room being broken into, as well as a non-resident in the building soliciting money.

Well managed but sus neighborhood

Pros

Great super, amazing process, lots of light, pleasant tree lined Brooklyn view. 3-minute walk from the AC

Cons

The neighborhood has a lot of suspicious activities and cat-calling people
