Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Michael Edelstein reveal a mixed management experience. Pros include generally spacious apartments, good locations near transportation, and friendly neighbors in several buildings. Many tenants praise individual supers for responsiveness and helpfulness. However, chronic issues include poor cleanliness, persistent pest infestations (cockroaches, rodents), and subpar garbage management in multiple properties. Numerous reports cite outdated payment methods limited to mailed checks and slow or unresponsive building management. Frequent complaints about broken elevators, high laundry costs, and package theft emerge. Some buildings suffer from water leaks, mold, and unsafe conditions. Management often appears neglectful, with calls for better maintenance, pest control, and tenant communication systems.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Good place but cockroach infested

Pros

Close to transportation, near the park, good windows, lots of closets/storage space, good water pressure

Cons

COCKROACHES and unresponsive landlords

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Overall great building with an amazing super

Pros

The apartments are very spacious and most of the kitchens have been hand renovated by the super. We have not seen any pests so far, and the super is amazingly responsive.

Cons

The water pressure is pretty bad, and the walls have been repainted over/not super well maintained. The hallway could use a renovation as well.

Advice to the owners

Renovate the hallways and common areas
