Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Barbara Tindel consistently points to significant management challenges. Renters report poor upkeep, persistent pest infestations, faulty heating, and problematic garbage management. Communication with the landlord is described as difficult, with many owners unresponsive or refusing to resolve maintenance issues promptly. Additionally, multiple complaints mention mishandling of security deposits and confrontational interactions. Despite the buildings’ convenient locations and some positive neighbor relations, the overall living experience is marred by neglect, lack of professional property management, and frequent tenant dissatisfaction. Prospective renters should be cautious and prepared for a potentially difficult tenancy experience.

Please stay away-Worst landlord/human on earth

Pros

Location and neighbors

Cons

I had a consistently bad experience here due to poor upkeep and management. The building felt run-down (don't be fooled by the hallways) and maintenance was difficult to get handled. The super is only available Mon–Thu, and EVERY issue has to go through the owner (an elderly 87 yr old landlord) she has dementia, often gets grumpy, confrontational, and hard to work with. The property manager mainly collects rent and doesn't have authority to resolve anything. There’s also a major PIGEON issue. They nest in/around the building in the alleys and you'll hear them flying and cooing 24x7. If you request repairs, be prepared for an unpleasant process. Overall, it wasn’t a comfortable place to live, and resident turnover is high, many residents don’t stay longer than a year. I had to threaten a legal action to get my security deposit back.

SCAM in apt 4D

Pros

nothing I was scammed here

Cons

I was scammed on an apartment in this building and later found several other people who were scammed by the same person Aidamarie Luberez. Please if you see a listing from her report it. She is extremely convincing but she is a scammer!!
