    Review Summary for 103 Sherman Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 101 Sherman Avenue highlight mixed feedback. Positive aspects include the spacious apartments, quiet environment, and rent stabilization. However, ongoing challenges with pests, mold, hot water outages, and an unreliable elevator are concerns. Some residents have faced unaddressed pest issues, poor cleanliness standards, and unhelpful leasing office interactions. Despite a nice neighborhood and responsive neighbors, the building faces issues with pests, rodents, and crime. Recommendations include enhancing maintenance tracking systems and improving owner responsiveness. Overall, the building has potential but needs significant improvements to provide a satisfactory living experience.
