Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Michael O'Donnell reveal significant management challenges. Tenants report poor maintenance, with persistent pest issues, especially rats and roaches, alongside inadequate garbage management. Heating problems and elevator malfunctions severely affect resident comfort, particularly for vulnerable tenants. Responsiveness from management is consistently described as slow or absent, leading to prolonged unresolved maintenance requests. Common complaints include cleanliness lapses, misuse of communal spaces by staff, and safety concerns from unruly behavior around the building. Overall, renters do not recommend these properties, citing neglect and the need for serious improvements in upkeep, pest control, and communication from the landlord.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

maintain the building and the apartments

Pros

It is a quiet building on my floor. The location of the building is good.

Cons

They are not giving it maintenance, it is a building and that is causing all the good things we had to be damaged. We also do not have a super that cleans as it should

Advice to the owners

maintain the building as before and let us know what's going on

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Do not live here

Pros

Nothing people that live here hate it

Cons

There was a rat problem for about a month or so they were getting in apartments, and it took to long to fix. There is no hot water during the winter. The elevator breaks down a couple times a year, and we have handicap people in this building forced to go up stairs or stay somewhere late when that happens. neighbors are dirty so there’s roaches everywhere, and no one does and says anything about it. Maintenance in apartments take years to resolve I’ve been waiting for things I’ve been needed for the apartment for 3 years I say something every couple of month and there’s never any money to fix it or “it’s being worked on.” There are 4 washing machines for the whole building while the “community room” is large enough to hold more washing machine, and be a perfect laundry room since the actual community can’t even use the room. The community room is used for the suppers personal Parties and or personal storage, a chill room for the porters, and their mothers. KIDS ages 14-18 are allowed to enter this building whenever they please and go into the stair cases next to apartments with children or babies in it and smoke weed all day everyday they would often go in the hallways and make a mess leaving garage and sticky floors. I’ve caught one specific porter often sitting with them and smoking while he should’ve been working. This is only a few things out of many problems of this building.
