    Review Summary for 173 Jefferson Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight significant concerns with the management's responsiveness to maintenance issues, specifically in addressing water damage, leaks, and structural problems. The building's location and unique features are praised, but ongoing issues like delayed repairs, poor division of spaces, and unsatisfactory neighbor situations detract from the overall experience. Residents emphasize the need for management to address issues promptly and effectively, suggesting improved communication and proactive maintenance as essential improvements. Overall, renters advise caution due to the recurring maintenance and safety issues within the building, making it a less favorable choice for potential tenants.

    they're...landlords. nice roof though!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    great location, even with the 10min walk from the train. unique apartment
    Cons:
    a pipe burst in the wall between the first and second floor in the building and management was very slow and resistant to fixing the entire issue. our floors and our neighbors floor looked like a hilly golf course, and they kept rising. months later, we literally couldn't open the front door because of the swelling hardwood and management said "don't worry, it will go down" and we had to demand they do something. they then just ripped out the old floors and took another month to replace the floors.

    water damage in the ceilings, sagging roof, leaks in the roof. every one of the roofers told us management didn't want to pay to fix it the right way. the walls in the building were too thin for all the crazy shit consistently happening in this building. haven't lived in a place where the cops were out front of the building this much (i never called them)
    Advice to owner:
    fix things the right way

    Do not live here!!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rent at the time was cheap but that was only because the landlord had the building zoned for commercial and not residential.
    Cons:
    NOISE, the lower level “commercial” space is a grungy slumlord who leases the basement out to anyone who will pay. How anyone lives in those unsafe conditions, I don’t understand. Please avoid this building at all costs!!
