Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Mara Cohen reveal a mixed management experience. Properties often feature friendly neighbors and convenient locations with well-maintained common areas and responsive supers praised for their helpfulness. However, several buildings struggle with persistent pest issues, especially mice and occasional roaches, along with spotty garbage management. Tenants note occasional delays in maintenance, heating problems, and some unresponsive or unfriendly staff. Package theft and aging appliances are concerns in some buildings. While many renters recommend living in these buildings, others advise improvements in pest control, updates to amenities, and better communication and professionalism from management for a more consistent tenant experience.

Advice to the owners

None

Former tenant·8 months ago

Charming but a little dirty

Pros

The opening has an amazing greenhouse and the super cares about the plants. The super is generally good at being responsive too. The building has a lot of character and everyone if very friendly in the building.

Cons

Definitely has mice problem. Had issues with flies and ants as well. An older building so random faucets or lights will stop working all the time. Property management company is hard to deal with.
