Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Eric Markel consistently reveal serious management shortcomings. While apartments offer spacious layouts with good natural light and closet space, the buildings suffer from poor cleanliness, rampant pest infestations, and frequent elevator breakdowns. Garbage management is notably inadequate, compounding these issues. Management’s responsiveness is widely criticized as slow or nonexistent, leaving maintenance and pest problems unresolved for prolonged periods. Several tenants report harassment and an unsafe living environment, with little to no intervention from the landlord or superintendents. The general feedback urges a complete overhaul of management practices, pest control, and building maintenance to improve tenant living conditions.

Slumlord Owner Ruining Lives

Pros

Good location. The apts themselves are spacious, with plenty of closet space and large rooms.

Cons

Slumlord won't make any upgrades or even fix things in the building. Kitchens and bathrooms are virtually unchanged from the 1960s. Elevator is often broken. Management company is not responsive. Roof leaks. Laundry room is often filthy.

Advice to the owners

Take ownership seriously and do more than collect rent checks.
