Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Mitchell Modell reveals a pattern of poor management responsiveness and inadequate maintenance, despite generally clean interiors and pleasant neighbors. Renters report slow or ineffective repairs, unhelpful and sometimes discourteous management staff, and issues such as package theft, garbage mismanagement, and intrusive unauthorized apartment entries. While the apartments themselves and the neighborhood receive praise, the management’s failure to proactively address problems and communicate effectively frustrates tenants. Prospective renters should anticipate well-kept living spaces but may face challenges with building services and responsiveness under this landlord's oversight.

Great Apartment, Mediocre Management

Pros

I have lived in this building for almost 2 years. I have loved my apartment itself - it is nicely updated, well-kept, and in a great area.

Cons

Management is pretty terrible. Issues with package stealing were blamed on tenants, and I received a snarky email from management when I inquired about it. The lobby hallway will have an awful odor and wet floors about 1 time per week (and I'm still not sure what the smell or wetness is from). To make matters worse, our medicine cabinet fell off our wall, hit my roommate on the head and gave her a concussion, and broke several hundred dollars worth of beauty products. Management was unhelpful, finally sending someone to fix the cabinet 2 months later. They entered our apartment with no warning. This is despite the fact we had explicitly told management that no one was allowed inside the apartment to fix the medicine cabinet without one of us being there. The person who came in installed another (!) broken medicine cabinet, scared our dog, and used the toilet without flushing and putting the seat back down. When we spoke to management about this, they were unapologetic, and it took us several more weeks to get a third medicine cabinet.
