Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by 179-181 ESSEX LLC reveals significant management challenges. Complaints consistently highlight poor building cleanliness, ineffective pest control with persistent rodent and mice infestations, and unreliable heating. Garbage management and water pressure receive mixed remarks, though trash pickup is sometimes noted positively. Tenants report unresponsive and discourteous management, describing communication as lacking and slow, with some labeling the landlords as negligent. While a few appreciate in-unit amenities and the neighborhood location, the overall sentiment advises against residency due to poor living conditions and mismanagement. Prospective renters should be cautious and expect substandard management service.
