Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Michael Daniel consistently describe severe management neglect and poor living conditions. Residents report unresponsiveness to urgent issues, persistent pest infestations, and ongoing heating and gas supply failures lasting many months. Cleanliness and garbage management are markedly inadequate, contributing to unsafe and unpleasant environments. The buildings suffer from frequent violations and maintenance shortcomings, with some units exhibiting structural damage. Noise levels and problematic neighbors further diminish livability. Despite affordable rent and some positive neighborhood aspects, tenants overwhelmingly advise against living here and urge management to dramatically improve oversight and building upkeep to meet basic health and safety standards.

Reviews

Former tenant·13 hours ago

Landlord unresponsive and neglectful

Pros

Cheap. Great neighborhood. Lovely neighbors.

Cons

Awful landlord. Neglectful and openly ignore tenants. We didn’t have cooking gas for 14 months. Problems with heat. Pests and cleanliness is a constant problem.

Advice to the owners

High a new management company. It’s run like a slum lord and these tenants (many who’ve been here 15-20 years) deserve far better.

This building has everything

Pros

Cheap, cheap, cheap rent

Cons

This building has everything... a slumblord, an admin that spends more time smoking outside of the management office than addressing any issues/repairs needed, drug dealers, cockroaches, rats, dirty hallways, unkempt dogs and children, families who should be reported to CPS, loud couples fighting at all hours, unemployed men playing video games and daydrinking, pot and regular smokers smoking in public areas, no heat/hot water on the regular, no cooking gas for over a year, a super who doesn't know how to clean...

Advice to the owners

Stop being a slumlord.
