    Review Summary for 2816 Frederick Douglass Boulevard
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants have mixed feelings about 2816 Frederick Douglass Boulevard. While the building boasts cleanliness and a nice courtyard, issues like inconsistent heating and noise disturbances are prevalent. The management's responsiveness varies, with some facing challenges in maintenance requests. Concerns about noise from loitering individuals impact the overall living experience. A troubling incident of unfair eviction during the pandemic raised questions about landlord integrity. Despite some positives, like good neighbors and reasonable water pressure, improvements in landlord conduct and building maintenance are necessary for a better tenant experience.

    Nice Location I’d Recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, courtyard is nice, spacious 1 bedroom
    Cons:
    Boiler is always being repaired so hot water is often cut off. During the winter the heat goes out occasionally.

    Experience living there
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The property is very nice once inside the courtyard. And management staff responsible for maintaining and cleaning the property are very active with up keep.
    Cons:
    The building does have a bit of a noise problem with the surrounding area where people loiter around the front steps and make noise and blast music until hours I got he night.
    Advice to owner:
    Seek out efficient security enforcement that will regulate rules to those who are not residents in consideration for those that are.
