    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

    Crackheads sleep in lobby - don't live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great light in the apartment, were willing to negotiate/flexible with lease conditions around length/breaking lease
    Cons:
    The management company is pretty despicable. They never fix anything that breaks. There is a vestibule with a door that doesnt lock and then a keypad to get into the building. This is where the mailboxes are, but they've been broken for over a year so the mail is just in an unsorted pile on the ground. The worst part is that in the winter homeless drug addicts sleep in the vestibule because the door doesn't lock and it is heated. We've seen them smoke crack and shoot up in the vestibule and even burn the mail since the mail boxes haven't been fixed in so long. One of them tried to stab the super this winter so he's afraid to even kick them out now and I don't blame him. The company refuses to do anything about this because they would have to move the buzzer outside and they're more willing to expose tenant and their employee to this danger than pay for this
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to emails and phone calls sooner than a week and take safety issues seriously
