Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on SMRC MANAGEMENT LLC properties consistently points to management being largely unresponsive and struggling to address maintenance issues effectively. Common complaints include poor heating, persistent pest infestations, inadequate garbage control, and delays in repairing leaks and other problems. While some residents appreciate the helpful on-site superintendents and quiet neighbors, there is a prevailing sense of neglect regarding essential services and cleanliness. Tenants advise the management to improve communication and responsiveness and invest in basic upkeep to enhance living conditions. Overall, renters should expect challenges with maintenance and landlord engagement despite some positive aspects like location and spacious apartments.

Please Avoid Renting Here

Pros

Fairly affordable. Super is nice and attempts to be helpful.

Cons

Management is incredibly unmotivated and disinterested in helping tenants. They will frequently delay or avoid responding to emails, making necessary repairs even after being reported to the city several times, and not deal with recurring problems regarding heat, pests, and leaks.

Advice to the owners

Care for your tenants who pay you good money, not just your bottom line.

Former tenant·40 minutes ago

Do not rent here.

Pros

Close to the subway

Cons

Severe pest issues that are not addressed by the building. While living in this building, I experienced the worst cockroach infestation of my life and management was generally unhelpful. I have legitimate PTSD from the infestation we endured living here. Beware and do NOT rent any units on the second floor. Management has pest control come once a month or so - this is nowhere near adequate for the level of infestation we experienced. Other cons - we experienced multiple burst pipes and experienced moderate to severe water damage on more than one occasion.

Advice to the owners

Listen to your tenants. Respond to their needs in a timely manner. Maintain sanitary conditions. This is such bare minimum stuff that currently is not happening.
