Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by 188 Marcus Garvey Blvd reveal a mixed experience. While some tenants appreciate the quiet neighborhood, spacious apartments, and occasional timely responses from the super, significant issues persist. Common complaints include unresponsiveness from the landlord, inadequate pest control with frequent rodent sightings, poor building maintenance, and delayed or absent repairs. Tenants also report problematic heating and water issues, as well as legal and financial disputes with management. Overall, renters should anticipate challenges with management responsiveness and property upkeep, despite some positive aspects like affordable rent and quiet surroundings.

DO NOT RENT

Pros

None. The owner does not respond and will not fix any of the issues with your apartment.

Cons

We went three weeks without gas or hot water when we first moved in and the owner did nothing to help us. Owner charged us double security (which is illegal because these are rent regulated apartments) and never returned a penny. We left the apartment cleaner than when we moved in and always paid our rent on time and in full. Blocks my calls. Gave zero reason. It’s been three years and we’re still trying to get it back. 2025 update. Landlord was (generously) given 3 chances to show up in court and never did. We unfortunately moved across the country and couldn't continue pursuing

Advice to the owners

Stop scamming and taking advantage of innocent people. Go fuck yourself as well.

Good apartment, relatively quiet neighborhood

Pros

Neighbors are quiet, neighborhood is quiet, you can hear rats in the ceiling but I’ve never seen them or had an issue with them getting into my unit. The super is relatively responsive.

Cons

I have not spent a winter here yet so I’m unsure how good the heaters are. I’ve had plumbing issues that needed to be remedied, but were remedied quickly.
