Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Miriam Yavo reveal a mix of experiences. Positive remarks often cite responsive management and attentive supers in some buildings, with decent cleanliness and good location. However, many reviews indicate significant issues including unresponsiveness, chronic pest infestations (rats, roaches, bedbugs), inadequate heating, poor garbage management, noise disturbances, and general building neglect. Several tenants criticize slow or ineffective maintenance and lack of communication during construction or repairs. Some reports point to landlord favoritism and harsh interactions. Prospective renters should expect variable management quality, with some buildings well-maintained while others suffer from neglect and poor oversight.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Slum landlord who gives zero attention to this building. Do not rent here.

Pros

If there are any pros it's the convenience of the location. Right by the M and 10 mins walk to the L.

Cons

Where do I even begin.. landlord is unresponsive, there's an extreme rat issue, building walls are cracking, zero maintenance of the building - hallways absolutely never cleaned, trash is always a mess, mailboxes are all broken, heating is extremely inconsistent, and the "super" just leaves messages on read and does not do anything. His son lives in the building and they use the basement like it's their personal storage. Not sure what the super gets paid for cause he doesn't help any of the tenants with any issues, has his son and his mom live in the building, and he ignores all our messages! The owner owns 35 other buildings and so there's zero accountability and care into this place.

Advice to the owners

Please show some care into this building cause it's a trash of a building.

Exactly what I needed

Pros

Great location. Wonderful sunlight. Large railroad apartment. Nice deep tub and reliable bathroom. Management is quick to respond and reliable. Very happy with them.

Cons

Can hear neighbors across in other buildings. They can be incessant.

Advice to the owners
