Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 2166 Frederick Douglass Boulevard highlight its prime location and rent-stabilized status as notable benefits. Tenants appreciate the quiet environment and friendly neighbors. However, pervasive cockroach infestations, poor pest control, and inconsistent maintenance responses detract from the living experience. Complaints also include inadequate heating, subpar cleanliness, water pressure issues, and problems with garbage management. Package theft and unhelpful superintendents are also recurring concerns. While some value the soundproofing and location, many advise management to improve pest control, maintenance responsiveness, and building upkeep to enhance tenant satisfaction. Prospective renters should weigh these mixed factors carefully.

there is a roach stuck and painted on to the hallways which is a disquieting warning for the units themselves. through much caulk, advion, and untreated ocd I was able to curb the infestation but be prepared for bugs.
