Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 81A Cornelia Street highlight the building’s strong community feel with friendly neighbors and a pleasant neighborhood atmosphere. However, persistent issues plague the living conditions, including pest infestations, lead in water, flooding, subpar heating, and unreliable appliances. Maintenance and management receive consistent criticism for slow responses, use of unlicensed contractors, and inadequate repairs, creating frustration among tenants. While some appreciate the spacious apartments and quiet environment, the poor building upkeep and management’s apparent focus on profits over resident well-being significantly detract from the living experience. Renters are advised to approach with caution given these ongoing concerns.

DO NOT MOVE HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
The neighbors are nice. We all personally fixed up the backyard and since then it has been fun to hang out in.
Cons:
Walls are super thin, building maintenance is not consistent, and safety level is low. We have experienced pests, flooding, package thieves and management loves to take their time sending someone to the building. We had to fight for a new chimney to be put in properly as we discovered the original was a hack job and carbon monoxide was leaking into everyones units. They only care about their money and fail to provide a livable environment for all their tenants. We have all discussed multiple times the amount of individual problems we have in our units.
