Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Milton Merl reveals a generally well-maintained environment with attentive and responsive supers praised for their communication and repair efficiency. Buildings are noted for cleanliness, quiet neighbors, and good location, with reliably working heating and strong water pressure in many cases. However, some concerns include inconsistent laundry facilities, occasional pest issues, noise levels near busy streets, and limited owner flexibility beyond timely rent collection. Garbage management and pest control vary, with some buildings needing improvement. Overall, management appears professional, balancing regulatory compliance with tenant needs, making these buildings a viable choice if maintenance and peaceful living are priorities.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Great Spot for 1BR

Pros

Quiet, great location, high ceilings. Super is fantastic

Cons

Water gets hot cold very finicky, basement only accessible by elevator where garbage and laundry is.

Former tenant·8 minutes ago

The landlord is fine

Pros

The landlord follows the law, no more no less. Property manager is pretty responsive when there's issues. Good water pressure and the hot water is really hot.

Cons

The landlord will raise the rent to the maximal allowed. (Building is covered by good cause eviction bill) The washer/dryers SUCK. They make my clothes dirtier.

Advice to the owners

Get new washer/dryers
