Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Herbert Donner frequently cite serious management shortcomings. While some appreciate the spacious apartments and decent neighborhood, pest infestations (especially millipedes, mice, roaches) and security issues such as package theft remain persistent and poorly addressed. Residents describe slow or absent maintenance responses, including for elevator outages and plumbing problems. Noise from neighbors and thin building walls aggravate living conditions, and several tenants report rude or unhelpful management staff. Though some find communal areas clean and enjoy the gardens, most advise the management to improve tenant communication, pest control, and building security to create a safer, more comfortable environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·2 hours ago

This place is trashy and unsafe, do not recommend living here

Pros

I have some really sweet neighbors and the community garden behind the building is great. Love the neighborhood for the most part.

Cons

There are roaches no matter what you do. Packages are stolen constantly. My downstairs neighbors are mentally unstable, leave us nasty notes, and bang on the ceiling when we so much as vacuum. Someone let a person with a criminal record rent a room in her apartment and they had a domestic dispute and sprayed bear spray in the hallway, making us all have to evacuate and the fire department come. She still lives here, nothing was done. My neighbor was sexually assaulted by someone who lives here and nothing was done. My other neighbor has FOOTAGE of someone who lives here stealing his package and management didn't do anything. There are always people who don't live here using the laundry room. My hamper got stolen from the laundry room.

Advice to the owners

Have a more secure laundry room. Pay for people's bathroom sinks when they get broken because you put a cheap one in in the first place. You have the footage of packages get stolen and, despite what you’ve told residents, you DON’T need a police report to review the footage you own. Take care of your residents and they’ll feel more safe.
