Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Metropolitan Property Services Inc reveal a mixed management experience. Many buildings suffer from persistent pest problems, especially rodents and roaches, coupled with cleanliness issues and neglected common areas. Maintenance responsiveness is frequently criticized for slow or inadequate repairs, with heating and elevator service inconsistently reliable. Security concerns, including unsecured doors and package theft, are reported in some locations. Despite these drawbacks, tenants often appreciate the quiet neighborhoods, good locations, and friendly neighbors. Several residents commend attentive superintendents but urge management to improve building upkeep, communication, and pest control to enhance living conditions across properties.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

it’s okay mostly

Pros

good people to help if you need it, in a good area. quiet

not a whole lot of communication going on, they don’t pay their staff enough and there is only one person to fix everything

Former tenant·9 hours ago

Lemor Realty / Metropolitan Property Services Landlord

Pros

The building has an elevator. The Porter recycles.

Cons

The people that recently moved into the building leave their trash and furniture in the lobby instead of taking it around the corner. They have this mentally ill lady living on the 4th floor destroying the elevator. People are smoking weed in the elevator and spitting in the elevator in the wall. Fights, living here is like living in nycha. People steal packages.

Advice to the owners

Lemor Realty owns the building Metropolitan Property Manages the building. Sell the building to a management company that will do right by the tenants. HPD should shut the building down.
