Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Michael Widlanski reveals a broad spectrum in maintenance and management quality. While some properties benefit from responsive management, cleanliness, and pet-friendly policies, others struggle with pest infestations, outdated infrastructure, and poor upkeep. Several reviewers cite major issues including unresponsiveness, high rent hikes without improvements, electrical concerns, and unaddressed construction nuisances. Garbage management and heating systems are reported inconsistently across buildings. The community experiences are mixed; some neighbors are friendly, but noise problems and disrespect from management are highlighted. Overall, expect variance in building conditions and management responsiveness under Widlanski's oversight, with a need for upgrades and better tenant communication in several locations.
