Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by 181 MACDOUGAL ST LLC reveals a pattern of management challenges despite some positive features. While apartments often have good natural light, open layouts, and responsive superintendents, major issues persist including persistent pest infestations, poor heating systems, and unclean conditions at move-in. Management is frequently described as unresponsive, unprofessional, and at times hostile, with delayed or inadequate maintenance resolution. Several tenants mention feeling mistreated or disregarded, citing withheld deposits and poor communication. Garbage management is generally adequate. Prospective renters should expect a struggle with building upkeep and management responsiveness, making these buildings a difficult choice despite affordable rents.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Renovated without pest control

Pros

Beautiful apartment with tons of sunlight, open kitchen, small bedrooms. I love smaller buildings where the neighbors all know one another and collectively take care of the building. The super is a bit obnoxious but overall, gets work done when necessary.

Cons

When we first moved in, we had a major rodent issue. After many calls to management including 311, the super finally came and removed the appliances from the wall only to find a huge whole behind the dishwasher left by contractors. Once that was filled, the problem was solved. It’s unfortunate that it took months to solve an issue that only required a few days.
