Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants report that Maria Valente's buildings generally maintain good cleanliness and garbage management, with many praising responsive management and well-kept common areas. Heat and water pressure are often reliable, with some properties showing strong pest control efforts. However, there are recurring concerns about noise levels, thin walls, and inconsistent neighbor quality, sometimes impacting resident satisfaction. Maintenance responsiveness varies, especially for non-emergencies, and some older buildings exhibit dated infrastructure with occasional water and pest issues. Parking shortages and rising rents were also noted. Overall, management efforts are appreciated, but improvements in building upkeep, pest control, and community engagement could enhance tenant experience.

Reviews

Cheap for a reason

Pros

Cheap rent, laundry in the building no one hangs out in the halls or stairwell.

Cons

Stolen packages, thin walls plus loud neighbors don't mix well, the superintendent is a misogynist/possible racist, waitlist for parking.

Advice to the owners

This is a co-op, there should be more amenities for the price

Nice Building With Flaws

Pros

Apartments are big. Lots of storage. Common areas are good and well kept. Overall good neighborhood. Good proximity to subway.

Cons

Noise transference to above and below apartments is an ongoing problem. Neighbors are really a mixed bag. You could have a super-friendly family or could end up next to a tyrant who tries to drive you (+ your kids if you have them) out the building. The board are nice but toothless in these situations. Management company will send a letter but that's it.
