Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings under Mordechai Retek's management reveal a mix of experiences. Positive remarks highlight generally clean, well-maintained buildings with pest control and some responsive landlord interactions. However, several tenants report significant issues including inconsistent heating often tied to costly electric units, thin walls causing noise disturbances, and inconsistent garbage management. Responsiveness varies widely, with some tenants facing slow or inadequate communication and maintenance delays. Criticisms also include problematic management practices, such as last-minute rent hikes, broken amenities, and safety concerns in some properties. Potential renters should weigh these factors carefully and expect variable experiences across different buildings.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Fine, but watch out for the bills

Pros

Well maintained, pest-free, responsive landlords and a well-situated building

Cons

Landlord has all heating and cooling hooked up to electric units that YOU get billed for. Electric can be $500+/mo. Walls are paper thin. Next to a school that makes the street inaccessible by car for hours a day on weekdays.

Not the worst, not the best

Pros

Nice location and street Good lighting in my unit

Cons

No live-in super Building management can take a while to respond and not at all on weekends really + only want to fix things with their own contractors who don't always do the best job Garbage management could be better, there are always rats at night I see by our cans They try to up the rent as much as they can every lease renewal at the last second
