Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by Paul Henry presents a mixed experience. Positive notes include spacious units, good natural light, functional amenities like laundry and roof access, and some responsive management efforts especially in rent-stabilized units. However, significant concerns arise around inconsistent communication, slow or inadequate maintenance responses, and issues in upkeep including cleanliness, pest control, and heating.

Cons

- Common areas not updated or maintained - furniture in them is from buildings previous ownership that left it behind in 2019 and hasn't been touched since. - Property ownership has a loophole to not adhere to annual market rent raises, so they tried to raise our rent $900/month each renewal cycle and we had to fight tooth and nail to get it lowered. In the end, management called saying they were refinancing the building and had to prove to the bank that they were earning at least 4k from each apartment & did a 'one month free' as the only compromise. Ownership is greedy and truly does not care about the tenants, only that they pay astronomical increases each year.

Advice to the owners

Maintain common areas, most furniture is falling apart, laundry machines frequently broken or smoking, roof furniture old and faded. And for the love of god stop raising the rent to prices way beyond market rate and enabling the further gentrification of this neighborhood.
