    Review Summary for 442 Sterling Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's friendly and neighborly community in a great location with kind residents. However, the common consensus points to a negligent and unresponsive management company that prioritizes profit over tenant's concerns. Issues range from unaddressed maintenance problems, high rent increases, slow communication, and pest control issues due to poor building upkeep. Despite the positive aspects like good neighbors and soundproofing, the absentee management's lack of responsiveness and poor handling of critical issues have led to dissatisfaction among residents. Improving management engagement and timely maintenance responses are crucial to enhance the overall living experience.

    Horrible management company, great neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building is in a beautiful location and everyone who lives in the building is kind and neighborly.
    Cons:
    The management company is absolutely horrible. They are completely unresponsive and only care about profit. When I lived there, they refused to address basic concerns and attempted to raise the rent by a horrifying percentage every year. I would not recommend living in this building because of the negligence of management.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good super, overworked but friendly and he does what he can!
    Great location
    Friendly neighbors
    Cons:
    Management has no phone number, only contact by email and they take weeks to reply
    Rent renewal at 30% increase from already high rent
    Broken stove not replaced for over 1 month
    Exposed brick wall lets cockroaches in from outside
    Dryers in basement not vented so takes forever to dry
    Advice to owner:
    treat your tenants like people, not profit
