Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Harry Stern reveal consistent issues with pest infestations, especially mice and roaches, and inadequate heating, often described as insufficient or only intermittently available. While the neighborhoods and noise levels are generally appreciated for quietness, building maintenance and cleanliness fall short, with reports of inconsistent cleaning and visible repair neglect. Garbage management varies but often receives low marks, and owner responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or lacking, affecting residents' ability to resolve urgent problems. Renters advise management to improve pest control, heating reliability, and maintenance responsiveness to justify the rent asked.

Reviews

Former tenant·20 minutes ago

Avoid if possible

Pros

The build itself is pretty quiet. Fairly quiet neighborhood and close to transit.

Cons

There is Mice infestation. Roaches. Lack of heat. They only turn the heat on a few times throughout the night and when they know folks are leaving out for work. The super takes for ever or doesn’t show up when you request for this to be fixed in your unit.

Advice to the owners

Get the mice under control in the building and provide adequate heat to tenants. You’re charging too much for rent for this to be a constant issue that is not being addressed.
