Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by John Sismanoglou reveals a stark contrast in management quality across properties. Some buildings boast clean, light-filled lobbies, good security, and responsive management, earning appreciation for quiet neighborhoods and convenient locations. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious issues including poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage handling, pest infestations, unreliable heating, and slow or unhelpful owner responsiveness. Several tenants describe neglect and subpar maintenance, with complaints about intrusive surveillance and unresolved safety concerns. Prospective renters should expect considerable variation in living conditions, with some buildings well-maintained while others suffer from neglect and require urgent managerial improvements.

Reviews

Beautiful building and location

Pros

A lots of light, large lobby and hallways. Exposed brick walls and large windows.

Cons

Area is windy in general

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Treating the heat like some sort of torture machine

Pros

Really quiet street. Sweet neighborhood.

Cons

They turn the heat off at night and then on in the morning briefly and then off all day. I'm not sure, are they trying to get people to move out? Hmmm... For real though, it's november and they are playing with the temperature in a way that does not seem legal.
