Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Irwin Mandel reflect a mix of location advantage and significant management challenges. Tenants appreciate the prime spots in vibrant neighborhoods, with some noting friendly neighbors and decent sunlight. However, persistent pest issues, notably bed bugs and cockroaches, are a major concern. Garbage management and overall cleanliness often fall short, with overflowing trash and unclean common areas reported. Heating and hot water services are sometimes unreliable, exacerbating tenant frustration. Responsiveness from management varies, with some praising timely replies while others report delays and unresponsiveness. Security issues like package theft and building break-ins further affect tenant satisfaction. Overall, expect desirable locations but be cautious of maintenance and pest control shortcomings.

Bed Bugs In The Walls

Pros

Building is in a great location in LES

Cons

No elevator, packages were getting stolen. But biggest thing is the bedbugs in the wall. I had to move out 6months in to my lease, and the building clearly knew that was the case.

Advice to the owners

Get the bedbugs under control
