Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Jack Tsai reveal significant management challenges. While owner responsiveness is sometimes praised for timeliness, major concerns persist about cleanliness, pest control, and garbage management. Tenants report persistent smoke odors and unauthorized businesses like illegal massage parlors within the buildings, contributing to safety worries and unpleasant living conditions. Noise levels and neighbor relations are generally poor, further diminishing tenant satisfaction. Despite affordable rent, many discourage living in these properties due to ongoing maintenance issues and perceived corner-cutting by management. Overall, expect a need for improved building oversight, stronger enforcement of rules, and enhanced commitment to tenant wellbeing under this landlord’s management.

Reviews

Former tenant·18 minutes ago

Very cheap but not glamorous

Pros

Price is hard to beat

Cons

Stuffy and hallway smells like cigs

Former tenant·1 month ago

Def a little shady

Pros

Management responds to your concerns quickly, but usually cuts corners.

Cons

Do not live in the top floor of this building as there is an exhaust fan from the Irish pub downstairs that vibrates the entire floor and expels a greasy food stench. There is an illegal happy ending massage parlor on the first floor, as well as a psychic that smokes cigarettes inside constantly. She is very rude in general. Can’t really recommend this place to anyone. The Irish pub is fun though.

Advice to the owners

Idk man maybe don’t let this massage parlor continue…
