Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by SKYLARK MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. reveals a mix of experiences heavily skewed towards dissatisfaction. Many residents report poor maintenance, persistent pest infestations, non-functional elevators, and unclean common areas. Heating and appliance issues are frequent, with several accounts of inadequate or faulty systems. Management is often described as unresponsive, rude, and dismissive, with some tenants citing abusive communication from staff. However, a few buildings have helpful superintendents, safe neighborhoods, and responsive service, where tenants find decent apartments and some upkeep. Overall, management tends to neglect timely repairs and tenant concerns, contributing to a challenging living environment.

21 W. 106th Street Review

Pros

Quiet neighborhood, the Super, Malcom is very sweet, garbage is picked up quickly, quiet neighbors

Cons

Merina from management is extremely rude to any question you may have I have never dealt with someone who gaslights harder or makes you feel worse about anything than she does. She makes living here miseerable. hot water does not last longer than 3 minutes, very high rent for apartments in the same buildings being rent stabilized.

FIRE MERINA

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Management Looks Away as the Building Burns; Spend the extra $300, go elsewhere

Pros

- Decent pricing - Great neighborhood - Super, Malcolm, is a saint and fixes issues within a day if told - Easy to access garbage - Washer/dryer is in basement and open for everyone to use - Neighbors are friendly and all see the problems with the building

Cons

- Management is definition horrible, not addressing everything from flies, security threats, broken stairs, fire hazards, broken elevators, and more - Communication with management can be abusive with Art and Merina both saying things like, "Fuck off, I don't have to do anything." to "You are a nuisance and I owe you nothing." - Elevator has been broken for over a year - Basement where laundry is looks like a dungeon - Broken security systems with cameras not working and people constantly sneaking in - New appliances do not fit the flooring plan and can become a pain to use - Flies, ants, and rats are pretty common and have been addressed - Management is constantly fighting some harassment claim because of their behavior

Advice to the owners

Hire new employees, start being accountable, and treat your tenants properly.
