Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Celeste Lamarche reveals a mix of strengths and challenges. Residents generally appreciate the building cleanliness, with frequently maintained lobbies and effective garbage management. Management responsiveness is seen as timely and helpful, especially with repairs and tenant concerns. However, pest infestations, particularly bedbugs and roaches, are a recurring problem, impacting overall living comfort. Noise levels and thin walls affect privacy, while some tenants find heat control limited and water pressure inconsistent. Though the properties are often rent-stabilized and located in convenient areas, tenants recommend further investment in pest control, building upkeep, and noise management to improve tenant satisfaction.

Not a terrible place

Pros

Usually very clean, elevator rarely breaks down, never saw mice and rarely any roaches in apartment, rent stabilized, low rent, great transportation in the area

Cons

High super turnover, kids play loudly in the hallways at times, very thin walls

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Bedbugs and roaches galore!!!!!!!!

Pros

Old super swept everyday. Clean. Renovated units. Property manager very responsive, helpful and kind. Pet friendly.

Cons

Units are TINY. Parties in lobby. Feel unsafe. Bedbugs!!!!! Infested with roaches. The way the building is shaped in a square, no privacy in windows and hear every noise and every conversation. No laundry. Parking is horrible here if you own a car.
