Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting from Peter Polow's buildings frequently commend his responsiveness and clear communication, noting that he, along with his team, maintains clean and well-kept properties. Several appreciate the inclusion of amenities like roof decks and laundry facilities. However, some point out lingering issues, such as occasional pest problems, maintenance quirks, and noise from both external sources and thin walls. Garbage management and building cleanliness vary somewhat by location, with isolated concerns about stairwell upkeep. Overall, renters find the landlord engaged and proactive but recommend attention to smaller maintenance details and transparency regarding building improvements to enhance tenant satisfaction.
