Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Dan Forrester show a mixed management experience. Residents appreciate spacious apartments, good locations, and timely fixes from responsive staff in some buildings, especially at 11 East 17 Street and 877 10 Avenue. However, several complaints highlight poor garbage management, frequent elevator issues, construction noise without notice, and disrespectful or uncommunicative management, notably at 336 Canal Street. Pest problems and high rent increases are concerns in some places. Tenants advise better communication, more advance maintenance notices, and improvements in building upkeep. Overall, expect varied management quality with some well-maintained buildings alongside others that suffer neglect and noisy disruptions.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Very good in some aspects, but horrible management

Pros

in unit washer dryer + location are massive wins

Cons

Management is so disrespectful, starts doing construction projects with no noice

Former tenant·1 month ago

Don't even think about it

Pros

Window light is nice. Good location (if you don't mind noise).

Cons

This building is a mess. Piles of garbage on the stairwells, crumbling walls on the stairway, elevator frequently out of order, heat is iffy. Don't even try moving a sofa in — elevator is the tiniest and stairway is too narrow.
