Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by John McCarthy reveals a mixed management experience. Some properties boast clean, well-maintained units with responsive and attentive supers and management teams, enhancing tenant satisfaction. Residents note convenient locations and friendly neighbors as positives. However, several reviews highlight serious issues with pest control, heating inconsistencies, and cleanliness, especially in some buildings with poor garbage management and noisy environments. Criticism frequently targets slow or ineffective owner responsiveness, the absence of live-in supers, and aggressive rent increases. Overall, management appears inconsistent, with some buildings well-run and others suffering neglect, suggesting potential renters should carefully assess individual buildings before committing.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 months ago

Apartments are in decent shape- landlord doesnt care about anything

Pros

The units are nice, neighbors are friendly, close to all major trains the roaming supers they use are actually all very nice , the new company did refresh the doors and updated with electronic locks which is a cool feature to have

Cons

Ever since the new company took over we no longer have a live in super, there is graffiti all over, maintence issues are not adresseed as quickly or even ignored constant pest issues even in the hallways the roaming supers seem to not have enough time to address building issues its timed work when you need something, the office ignores residents everytime you do get a response its from someone new its a rotating mess

Advice to the owners

Improve your customer service dont take advatnage of people we are all busy but its obvious where things are lacking at the building

Former tenant·11 months ago

Illegally doesn’t have supers / call center

Pros

Other than the sewage, water leaks, and pests - honestly really love this apartment and sad to leave.

Cons

All issues are resolved via a 3rd party call center. Serious issues are never fixed because no one is in charge of the individual building. Rude property managers who are mad at you that their apartment has water leaks, mice, or sewage backups…

Advice to the owners

Get a live-in super, as the law requires
