Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Fernando Deguia reflect a mixed management experience. Positive remarks highlight attentive and friendly superintendents, well-maintained common areas, and desirable locations with spacious apartments. However, concerns are frequent about outdated infrastructure, unreliable heating, poor garbage and pest management, and problematic noise due to inconsiderate neighbors, especially unsupervised children. Many tenants criticize the management company's poor responsiveness, particularly regarding maintenance requests, communication deficiencies, and security issues such as package theft. Several reviews urge for upgraded amenities, stricter enforcement of building rules, and improved management practices to enhance tenant satisfaction and building upkeep.

Don't be fooled

Pros

beautiful high ceilings, with large windows in all apartments.

Cons

Very poor heating, always too cold, building has a D energy rating. Water is dangerously hot for small children. Back yard is awful, often filled with trash bins because the workers use the trash area as an indoor parking lot and so garbage bins end up in back yard. Intercom simply does not work , often tenants have to go down to let visitors in. Awful communal laundry room, good machines but poop in machines is common. Building workers are nice but incompetent. Halls are ceramic tile, ugly and loud, replaced original carpet for ease of cleaning. Glacial hydraulic elevator , may be the slowest elevator on the planet.

Advice to the owners

Fix the heat.
