Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Michael Guarino reveal a highly mixed experience. Tenants appreciate the buildings' central locations, friendly neighbors, and some effort by supers with cleanliness and pest control. However, there are frequent complaints about insufficient owner responsiveness, persistent pest issues including rodents and insects, outdated or faulty heating and facilities, and management’s lack of flexibility. Garbage management and noise levels received poor ratings, and some renters encountered unprofessional or rude behavior from management. Overall, renters should expect management that can be slow or unhelpful in addressing maintenance and pest problems despite some positive efforts by on-site staff.

Do Not Rent

Pros

Location in midtown Trader Joe’s Trains

Cons

Super responsiveness was awful Cannot get a hold of management Management is rude

Advice to the owners

Get ethics and stop being scum lords

Former tenant·2 months ago

Leaks, rats, German cockroaches, terrible leasing office

Pros

Porters do a great job and the super and building manager are at least responsive despite not being very helpful

Cons

You will experience electrical issues, leaks, rats, mice, German cockroaches (the building refuses to do monthly pest maintenance), water clogs, and landlord resistance to properly replacing an appliance. Full size fridge broken? They will send you a mini fridge to save money. Rats? Well we won’t tests the building and seal holes but we can send you pest control to hand you some glue traps and wish you luck. The leases are also sketchy. They don’t allow pets or take ESA letters and issue a lease addendum, and the leases also say no window AC’s, yet all of these things are approved.

Advice to the owners

Quit being a slumlord
