Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Mary Coleman consistently point to severe management shortcomings. Tenants report chronic heating outages, lack of hot water, and persistent pest infestations including rats and large bugs. Cleanliness is poor with garbage frequently unmanaged, contributing to an unsanitary environment. Maintenance requests face extreme delays, sometimes over a year, frustrating residents. Noise levels are high and security concerns like vandalism and smoking go unchecked due to ineffective supervision. Despite some spacious apartments and decent neighbors, renters strongly disapprove of the owner's responsiveness and management professionalism, advising a need for committed, proactive staff and better upkeep to improve living conditions.

Not a Great Building

Pros

The rooms are spacious.

Cons

- There is frequently no heat and/or hot water for days at a time, and management neither informs tenants nor provides a timeline for when it'll resume - Rats and very large bugs are a problem

Advice to the owners

Please do better. I feel as though management doesn't maintain the building because it's filled with people on public assistance who don't pay full market rent. Heat, hot water, building cleanliness, and pest control are not luxuries or amenities. They're human rights.
