Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Matt Bader reveal a mixed management experience. While some buildings offer good locations, updated appliances, and friendly neighbors, management responsiveness is often cited as slow or unhelpful, especially regarding repairs and pest control. Several buildings suffer from pest infestations, heating issues, and noise problems due to poor insulation. Tenants report frustration with maintenance delays, water leaks, and occasional unfair security deposit deductions. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, with some properties poorly maintained. Overall, renters should anticipate inconsistent management quality, with some properties well-maintained and others facing significant upkeep and responsiveness challenges.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Terrible landlord. One horrible neighborhood. Otherwise could have been good.

Pros

the building is in a fairly good location and has good amenities for the price

Cons

If you live here, you'll quickly see that the renovation was shoddy and things frequently fell apart. The management company was slow to respond to these issues. We had a horrible smelling hole in the ceiling of our apartment for weeks after a leak broke through from the unit above. Ants and mice too. The people living in the unit above us loudly abused each other and their dogs, which frequently urinated in the hallway (they would leave the urine, drying into sticky smelly patches). One of my roommates scammed ERAP, the landlord, and all of the co-tenants. She didn't pay her rent for the duration of the lease and the landlords wouldn't not help us fix the situation nor give us our security deposit back after we left.

New management is very unresponsive.

Pros

Clean and secure building with a multitude of nice amenities that have an updated feel.

Cons

Management is very unresponsive. Our issues haven’t been emergency level, but even a broken buzzer or leaking AC will take weeks and weeks for them to contact us back.
