Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Herbert Donner reveals significant management challenges alongside some positive aspects. While residents commend the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of some properties, many express frustration over persistent pest issues, particularly roach infestations. Owner responsiveness is frequently described as lacking, with several tenants noting issues with heat and noise insulation. Rent increases and disputes over payment processes have also led to dissatisfaction. Overall, while some buildings offer good neighborhoods and helpful staff, potential renters should be wary of management's responsiveness and maintenance shortcomings.

Reviews

Former tenant·2 months ago

Good luck with this one

Pros

Building staff is kind. Evening doorman is nice. Laundry room recently redone.

Cons

Massive roach problem. Management is evil. Super is very unresponsive. WILL raise your rent an insane amount every year and pinch you for every possible penny

Advice to the owners

Stop being every renter’s nightmare. Fix the roach problem. Maybe give us access to the massive side yard you always have fenced off?. Horrible.

The roaches though...

Pros

Friendly neighbors, great location, helpful building staff

Cons

The german roaches. Exterminator comes every 2 weeks but only about 10-20% of the units are sprayed (per the sign up sheet). Roaches end up in the common areas as well. The windows are also terribly insulated so heavy curtains are a must in the winter.

Advice to the owners

Enforce extermination of all of the units and common areas
