Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's excellent cleanliness, garbage management, and heat system. Residents appreciate the friendly super, great neighborhood, and well-maintained common areas. However, concerns include occasional water interruptions, busy laundry facilities, elevator reliability, and package theft. Some suggest improving the elevator, addressing pest control, and enhancing owner responsiveness. Despite a few drawbacks, the overall consensus is positive, with tenants valuing the location, architecture, and good water pressure. The management could benefit from addressing maintenance issues promptly to enhance the overall living experience.
