    Review Summary for 182 Claremont Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews indicate significant issues with recurring bedbugs in the building due to inadequate management response and past infestations. Tenants have highlighted poor extermination services and management's attempts to avoid responsibilities. On the positive side, the location is praised, and some appreciate the cleanliness, quiet neighborhood, and good neighbors. However, concerns about pests in the summer and the need for renovations in certain areas have been raised. The overall advice includes better pest control measures and necessary infrastructure improvements to enhance the living experience.

    Recurring bedbug issues and abusive management company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great
    Cons:
    We signed a lease that claimed there had been no bedbug issues in the past year, only to get bedbugs after a few months and then learn from other tenants that they had been a recurring issue in the building for many years, due to a tenant who kept having them and was unable to get rid of them--every several months, after a badly done extermination, they would travel from this other tenant's lower unit up to all the other units in the building. Management tried to force us to use one of the worst-reviewed extermination services in the city and it was a nightmare to try to resolve the problem with them. They repeatedly tried to bully and intimidate us into getting us to give up on asking for services they were required to provide. The management company (EK realty) has inflated their google reviews by having relatives and friends post fake reviews of the business, but they are the most evil management company we have dealt with in 10+ years of living in the city
