Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Lawrence Marolda reveal a mixed tenant experience. While some tenants commend the cleanliness, friendly superintendents, and functioning heating systems, others highlight serious issues like poor owner responsiveness, persistent pest problems including rats and roaches, and inadequate garbage management. Rent increases to the legal maximum are a common concern, paired with complaints about outdated infrastructure and minimal security, leading to package theft. Suggestions for improvement focus on enhancing communication, pest control, and maintenance responsiveness. Prospective renters should weigh the value of affordable rent against the challenges posed by management and building conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Good place to live!

Pros

Very clean, no package theft, reasonable-ish rent, friendly and responsive super

Cons

Raised rent to the fullest legal extent, some mice in the basement by the trash

Advice to the owners

Please don’t raise rent so much :(

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Avoid at all costs

Pros

Heat worked, maybe a little too well

Cons

Owner responsiveness is pretty much nonexistent. Takes fees out of security deposit for infrastructure issues that are out of residents control. Old building, rats and roaches in basement and seen in units. Minimal security, lost packages all the time.

Advice to the owners

Be more responsive!
