Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for Harry Gartner's buildings reveal consistent issues with management responsiveness and building maintenance. Many renters report severe pest infestations, especially rodents and bedbugs, alongside heating problems ranging from inadequate to malfunctioning systems. Cleanliness and garbage management frequently receive low ratings, with complaints about dirty hallways and ineffective upkeep. Although some apartments are noted for their spacious layouts and decent neighbor relations in certain buildings, overall noise and nuisance levels are concerns. Suggestions urge the landlord to improve pest control, heating reliability, general repairs, and communication with tenants. The consensus portrays a landlord largely unresponsive and detached from tenant needs.

Reviews

Former tenant·6 months ago

A terrible experience with a criminal landlord

Pros

- Very spacious - Relatively quiet - Amenities that it did have were modern

Cons

- Infested with every type of creature, from rats to bedbugs, with absolutely no effort to properly fix it from the landlords - Heat was kept insanely hot during winters, so much so that we had to run AC units in the winter - Poor and absent management; cared little for repair or pest problems

Advice to the owners

EXTERMINATE ALL THE PESTS AND FIX THE BUILDING

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Run far away.

Pros

There aren’t any pros.

Cons

- heat is barely ever on - any repairs aren’t done until you call 311 - can’t ever get in contact with the office - quick to ask for rent money but won’t fix anything - cheap - hallways aren’t kept up with past the 1st floor. - has cameras in the building just for show, they don’t work (don’t let them fool you) - all around don’t care about the buildings. - tenants almost ALWAYS leave after their lease is up If you have other options, count these buildings out.

Advice to the owners

Do better.
