Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for Mike Spira's buildings reveal a mixed management reputation. While some buildings feature attentive supers and generally friendly neighbors, many tenants express frustration over unresponsiveness to maintenance requests, especially regarding pest infestations, leaks, mold, and heating issues. Garbage management and cleanliness also vary widely, with several complaints about dirty hallways and poorly maintained common areas. Noise and neighbor disputes are common in certain locations. Communication from management is often described as lacking, with delays in addressing critical health and safety concerns. Prospective renters should prepare for potential challenges in maintenance and management responsiveness, although some appreciate the affordability and location.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Poor service and communication

Pros

Mostly clean and quiet

Cons

They are unresponsive to calls and emails. I have a rodent issue for months with minimal response and no help. There was a leak in my kitchen for 3 months, damaged countless supplies and utensils. When I moved in I wasn't able to get the gas turned on for the first 2 months.

A solid first apartment

Pros

Management is pretty responsive on issues. Neighbors are friendly, building is fairly safe and clean.

Cons

There were some issues like leaks, mice, some faulty electrical outlets. But management did help fix every issue in a timely manner.
