Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Michael Himy reveal a mixed experience for tenants. Positively, residents appreciate the central, desirable locations and friendly, responsive superintendents. Neighbor relations tend to be good with generally quiet noise levels and pleasant communities. However, pest control has been inconsistent, with reports of cockroach infestations requiring tenant intervention. Maintenance responsiveness can be slow or require repeated follow-ups, and some buildings face issues like drafty windows, noise due to thin walls, and occasional ceiling leaks. Improvements suggested include better pest management, enhanced lock and security systems, and more attentive follow-through on maintenance requests to improve tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·2 days ago

Fine but not great

Pros

great location and responsive super

Cons

had a roach infestation and it seemed to be apartment-wide

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

tiny apartment, great location

Pros

location, bay windows in bed room, natural light in bedrooms, water pressure is good, only 4 apartments on each floor so felt quiet, rarely heard neighbors, trash emptied frequently downstairs, never seen bug or rat down by trash, neighbors in apartment are all different ages and super friendly, stayed for 4 years so ultimately couldn't have been that bad despite having more cons than pros

Cons

unresponsive super for actual issues, had cockroaches for first 2 years lived here until we paid for Orkin ourselves to get rid of it (2 years without them after this), building sent multiple exterminators that didn't help but one does come at the start of each month now, required to submit maintenance requests to get things fixed in apartment and sometimes no one comes so we have to follow up multiple times, no washer/dryer, no dishwasher, sink gargles and makes weird noises and we've asked for them to fix it and they've sent multiple people and nothing has changed, no virtual doorman on the outside door which causes issues with packages stolen or door lock breaking and not being a lock but they started putting packages more hidden behind stairwell

Advice to the owners

actually listen to your tenants about issues and follow up to see if they're fixed instead of ignoring them, look into getting dishwashers in the units (would decrease turnover i promise you), update locks on doors so people stop getting locked out, add virtual doorman system
