Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Marilyn Metz's buildings highlights issues with maintenance and management responsiveness. While cleanliness and garbage management receive moderate praise, tenants frequently report inadequate heating, pest infestations, poor water pressure, and plumbing problems. Management appears overwhelmed, especially with large property portfolios, leading to delayed repairs and insufficient security, including package theft. Noise levels and overcrowding are concerns in some buildings, further impacting living conditions. Despite convenient locations near transit and amenities, renters advise the owner to improve heating, pest control, plumbing services, and escalate management staffing to better address resident needs and upkeep of aging properties.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

They are so cheap to provide heat

Pros

KEEPS it clean, used to response on Saturdays too.

Cons

They don't heat at all, besides early morning. Even after complaining they don't heat while the hallways are warm. Low water pressure, old building causes lead in water, they don't paint yearly, doesn't fix broken cabinets in the kitchen.

Advice to the owners

Don't be cheap in heating, and fix water leakage and fix old fixtures that causing mice comes in the warmer weather.

Good location but

Pros

It’s near everything like restaurants, laundry, MTA and hospital

Cons

Full of rats and roaches, the manager Alfonso allows people to create divisions with sheet rock in the apartment if you pay him under the books which creates situations where 10 people live in a 2 bedroom apartment. On the weekends the airplanes fly above the building to la guardia airport waking you up at 7am Saturday morning.
