    Review Summary for 570 Hancock St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Tenants appreciate the location and views but express frustration with management's lack of responsiveness to issues like leaks and pests. Problems with cleanliness, water pressure, heating, and security have been consistently mentioned, along with maintenance delays and poor communication.

    Management Was Terrible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good Location and Good Views
    Cons:
    They didn’t fix any leaks. The super never answers. Only ever did anything to fix the leaks after we withheld rent.
    Advice to owner:
    Please do better.

    Landlord is awful
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice large windows with views and location is nice, central heating and air
    Cons:
    Landlord and or super will never come to fix anything. We have had many leaks resulting in the ceiling falling down in places of the apartment. With the windows being so large wind will leak through the sides making the winter pretty cold in the bedrooms. It’s always unnecessarily dusty, you will clean one day and the next there is dust everywhere again. Water pressure is okay, the kitchen sinks pressure is pretty low. We also found something in the shower head to minimize the pressure.
