Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While some appreciate the building's exterior and features like in-unit washer/dryer, renters consistently report poor management responsiveness, inadequate security, and neglect of maintenance issues.

Avoid at all costs

Former tenant·7 months ago

Traumatizing Rental Experience

Pros

None. This was the worst apartment I ever lived in. Worst management as well.

Cons

Our apartment was broken into by the friend of one of our downstairs neighbors. These same neighbors would be so violent and disruptive to the rest of the building that the police would make visits at least 5-6 times a month. Management failed to intervene to a degree that our neighbors definitely felt empowered leading to the breakin. To my knowledge these problem tenants STILL live there and are wreaking havoc to this day. In addition to all of this, our next door neighbors had black mold in the corners of their unit. I swear to god renting from here was straight out of a Charles Dickens book, f— you YNS management. If you plan on working with YNS, please consider also hiring a priest, witch doctor, or spiritual advisor.

Advice to the owners

Try another career path, being a landlord clearly isn’t for you!
