Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Philip Shapiro reveals significant concerns about maintenance and management. Despite some positive remarks on location and affordable rent, many tenants report persistent pest infestations, poor cleanliness, and security issues like faulty locks. Responsiveness from management is often described as slow or unhelpful, with issues like broken buzzers, inadequate heating, and illegal or substandard repairs frequently cited. Superintendents are criticized for ineffective communication and neglecting building upkeep. Noise disturbances and neighborhood safety are also recurring issues. Overall, renters advise thorough improvements in property management, pest control, and maintenance practices to better meet tenant expectations.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

The only good thing here is if you have cheap rent, and even then is it worth it

Pros

Cheap rent, location

Cons

lying and unresponsive landlord, waste of space super, lack of common area cleanliness, tons of rats, lack of heat, lack of safety, windows older than my grandma, nothing gets fixed, bedbugs, faulty wiring, exterior doors without proper locks, shitty loud and dirty street

Advice to the owners

Property owner should fix things properly the first time. property owner should hire a competent super that speaks English or at least attempts to understand google translate. Property owner should hire professionals to fix things.
