Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of properties managed by Drew Spitler reveal a stark contrast in experiences among tenants. While several buildings are highlighted for their cleanliness, friendly staff, and responsive management, others have faced significant issues, particularly concerning maintenance and management responsiveness. Some tenants reported ongoing problems with heating and water pressure, depicting a lack of effective repairs. However, many renters appreciate the amenities and the well-kept premises. Prospective residents are advised to thoroughly document conditions upon moving in and weigh the buildings' merits against their proximity to local attractions, as some locations feel isolated.

Recurring maintenance problems and temporary fixes

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

My experience in Unit 4604 was dominated by recurring maintenance problems and temporary fixes. The primary issue was the HVAC. Despite at least six repair requests, it never operated reliably for a sustained period. On documented occasions, the apartment exceeded 83°F even with both HVAC units running at full capacity. Air circulation remained poor, and the malfunctioning system contributed to unusually high electricity costs. At approximately $8,000 per month, I expected a one-bedroom apartment’s HVAC system to function reliably. Other recurring problems included a kitchen faucet that was adjusted but not repaired, black residue or sediment coming from the bathtub spout, and a microwave and oven that operated inconsistently. After move-out, management repeatedly called and texted about charges that I disputed, while issues concerning my security deposit remained unresolved. In my experience, management was substantially more persistent about collecting disputed charges than completing durable repairs. Prospective residents should thoroughly document the apartment at move-in, submit every repair request in writing, and insist on permanent—not temporary—repairs. Based on my experience, I would carefully compare other nearby properties before signing here.

Advice to the owners

new management that cares

Former tenant·1 month ago

Good building, nice units and amenities, a bit isolated

Pros

Some units have amazing views. Nice newish appliances. Friendly staff. Good amenities when they are open.

Cons

Amenities have been under construction for most of our time here, but are very nice. Very far from anything to do. Immediate area is a bit isolated and the one cool place across the street closed last fall.
