Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Sheldon Decoteau reveals a mixed experience primarily marked by poor responsiveness and maintenance issues. Residents frequently report delayed or inadequate repairs, especially heating problems and pest control concerns, with some apartments left in disrepair for extended periods. Garbage management and neighborhood quality receive more positive mentions, as do quiet surroundings and friendly neighbors. Rent hikes have caused dissatisfaction, and some residents criticize the management's communication and service tools. Overall, tenants can expect well-located buildings but should be prepared for potential maintenance delays and limited management responsiveness under Sheldon Decoteau’s oversight.

Best neighborhood to live in; terrible management

Pros

Loved living in this area, was in the center of clinton hill.

Apartment was a mess when I moved in. No working refridgerator the entire time i lived there. Then they had the audacity to raise my rent $1000
