    Review Summary for 855 Dekalb Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 855 Dekalb Avenue highlight a mix of functional amenities and significant management shortcomings. While tenants praise strong water pressure, effective heating and cooling, and ongoing building cleanliness, persistent pest issues remain unaddressed. Noise disturbances from nearby delivery trucks and inadequate bike rack shelter are also concerns. Most renters express frustration over poor communication and slow or absent maintenance responses from management, contributing to dissatisfaction. Promised building improvements, like rooftop upgrades, have not been completed. Overall, despite some infrastructural perks, renters caution about management responsiveness and unresolved pest problems, advising significant improvements to customer service and maintenance for a better living experience.

    Unhelpful Weaponized Ignorance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    outside community (irrespective of any help from management)
    Cons:
    Gila is widely inaccessible and avoids emails and phone calls. Our building lost power for 48 hours, and we could not access our homes because the outside door is controlled with electricity with no backup key. We were sent no emails regarding these concerns. The building also has a PERSISTENT pest and roach issue that management is intent on not solving. The water pressure is terrible and I have had a brokens stovetop since move in with no help sign of resolution. This was almost a year ago now. Bad building--worse management. Do your best to avoid
    Advice to owner:
    do better. fumigate the building. develop better customer service.
