Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 2121 Paulding Ave reveal a building with a convenient location near transportation and shops, featuring large apartments and generally quiet neighborhoods. Many tenants appreciate the building's cleanliness and garbage management. However, persistent pest issues, particularly roaches, remain a significant concern despite extermination efforts. Heating problems during winter and occasional elevator malfunctions are also noted. Importantly, management receives mixed feedback, with some praising responsiveness while others criticize unprofessionalism, discrimination, slow repairs, and mishandling of rent payments. Prospective renters should weigh the building's advantages against these ongoing management and maintenance challenges.
