Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Mario Zapata reveal a mixed management experience. Tenants appreciate the convenient locations and friendly neighbors, with garbage management often noted as well-handled. However, the buildings are older and frequently in need of significant renovations, including heating systems and pest control. Maintenance and repairs tend to be slow or patched inadequately, leading to tenant frustration. Some tenants find the heating unreliable and common areas outdated. While a few renters approve of the owner's responsiveness, others feel management cuts corners and lacks proper upkeep. Prospective tenants should expect decent neighbor relations but prepare for ongoing maintenance issues.

Reviews

Good building GREAT unit

Pros

Fantastic location with friendly, helpful neighbors. Super charming sun-drenched unit with great amenities for the price. Decently maintained building given its age.

Cons

The very occasional roach and the downstairs units complained of mice (only saw one once in my own unit though)

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Decent, but don’t except to live here long term

Pros

Neighbors are friendly. The apartments are decent size.

Cons

Very old, needs full gut renovations. Heat and water will stop working several times.

Advice to the owners

Renovate and stop being cheap.
