Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews reveal a mixed experience with buildings managed by Mariam Farooq. Positive feedback highlights clean buildings, responsive email communication, and a great neighborhood with friendly neighbors. However, significant concerns include poor heating systems, lack of timely maintenance, and problematic lease signing practices involving unclear or altered lease terms.

Renters advise improving building readiness before move-in, enhancing communication transparency, and adopting a more compassionate approach toward tenants to foster trust and satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great building and landlord

Pros

Responsive over email, clean building

Cons

Heat circulation is not great in the winter but it’s manageable

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Terrible screening process

Pros

Great neighborhood, nice and quiet. Close to downtown and nice restaurants.

Cons

The owner use agents to communicate. Request every potential tenant to interview in person. I was moving across several states. They don't care how far you are from and how much money requires to spend on the application. I was asked to fly into and out of New York several times to meet their coordinator and owner in person. They didn't want to provide any lease information or copy before flying into to New York signing lease in-pesob. The agent keep lying about the process and miscommuncate when and where all the steps need to take place. She even insulted me in person, mention my budget is too low to be their concern. Watch out for agent from HighLine residential. And prepare to empty your pocket before getting the apartment.
