Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for properties managed by Brian Garland consistently report poor management responsiveness and maintenance issues. While the locations and apartment layouts are generally appreciated, common problems include pest infestations, heating failures, and unreliable laundry facilities. Garbage removal and some cleanliness aspects receive mixed feedback, with occasional praise for lobby upkeep but frequent complaints about overall cleanliness. Security concerns include broken front doors and package theft, compounded by lack of effective communication from management. Residents recommend management overhaul to address these ongoing issues. Overall, renters should expect challenges with management engagement and building upkeep despite some positive neighborhood and apartment attributes.
