Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by HELM MANAGEMENT INC reveal mixed experiences with management responsiveness and building conditions. Positives include generally clean and spacious apartments in convenient locations, with attentive superintendents and decent amenities such as laundry rooms and rooftop access. However, many renters report issues with loud neighbors, persistent pest infestations (notably rodents and cockroaches), and frequent package theft with limited management intervention. Maintenance response times can be slow or inconsistent, and rent hikes are often steep. Noise from nearby nightlife is a common challenge. Prospective tenants should expect well-located properties but be prepared for management delays and ongoing pest and security concerns.

good if you don’t mind the noise

Former tenant·15 minutes ago

Good location and decent management

Pros

Lived here for a few years and had an overall good experience. The apartment is a good size and great location.

Cons

Had a leak from rain and it took months to get a credit from the building for our time having to live elsewhere. they did resolve it eventually. The backyard does have rats but doesn’t affect inside of building
