Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Blanka Bernic indicate a mixed experience. While many appreciate the convenient locations and spacious apartments, recurrent issues arise concerning management responsiveness and maintenance effectiveness. Several residents noted problems, particularly with laundry facilities and pest control, alongside complaints about heating and garbage management. Some buildings have dedicated superintendents, yet responsiveness varies significantly. The management's lack of attentiveness to tenant concerns has been a significant drawback, leading to frustration among residents. Overall, while some tenants recommend the buildings for their attributes, many express dissatisfaction with how management handles ongoing issues.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Okay building, lived there for two years, we were priced out

Pros

quiet great location there was laundry (though it didn't work 5-8x during the 2 years we were there - sometimes flooded or didn't dry clothes), but it was still fine (quarter operated) - 3 washers and 3 dryers super's family was very nice

Cons

laundry in basement was convenient but not always working (10-20% of the time) and sometimes there was backlog you will probably see mice / rats in the courtyard at night (not sure if cat helped) apartment was very hot during winter (central heating) saw 1 cockroach and 1 mouse in our unit during our time here kinda yucky raised rent
