Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Michael Verdi reveals inconsistency in management quality. Some residents commend features like appealing apartment layouts, decent heating, and convenient locations, appreciating prompt owner responsiveness and general building condition. However, there are serious concerns about pest infestations, poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, and outdated infrastructure in certain properties. Noise disturbances and thin walls are also noted issues. The landlord's handling of complaints, particularly about pest control and habitability, is sometimes described as inadequate or even retaliatory. Rent stabilization status varies, contributing to mixed tenant experiences. Prospective renters should assess specific properties carefully before committing.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Bed bugs, roaches, human decomposition and lies.

Pros

The apartment layout is nice.

Cons

The landlord regularly breaks the law. For years they sprayed illegal substances instead of dealing with a roach and bedbug infestation. Nepo contractor babies without a basic understanding of the law expect you to pay rent for a unit that isn’t inhabitable. Will retaliate because they are so stupid.

Advice to the owners

Nothing. You shouldn’t own buildings so advice is pointless.

Would Not recommend

Pros

Absolutely no pros.

Cons

Roach infested. Very thin walls (you hear absolutely everything). Cheap property management.
