Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Michael Kane reveal a pattern of maintenance and management challenges. Tenants frequently report pest infestations, particularly with roaches and bedbugs, often unaddressed or downplayed by management. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed to poor marks, with buildings described as dirty and poorly maintained, including slow or inadequate repairs. Security concerns arise due to package theft and lack of front door lock reliability. The building superintendents are commonly described as rude, unapproachable, and sometimes harassing tenants, which further strains tenant-owner relations. Overall, renters caution prospective tenants about ongoing maintenance neglect and unprofessional management practices under Michael Kane.

Great Location, iffy building

Pros

Great location next to the park

Cons

Bedbug history They lied and said it wasn’t an issue when we signed the lease and that they had it handled, it’s not. It’s completely rapid throughout most of the building and the tenants are always on edge It’s brushed off when brought up to management Would absolutely beware that they are trying to down play it

Advice to the owners

Fix the problem.
