Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Eric Gaugler reveals a mix of strengths and weaknesses. Many appreciate convenient locations near transit and amenities, along with helpful and friendly superintendents. However, persistent pest issues, package theft, and occasional maintenance problems—such as heating inconsistencies and leaky roofs—are common concerns. Cleanliness and building upkeep receive mixed reviews, often citing smelly hallways and uneven floors. Owner responsiveness is frequently described as slow or insufficient, which frustrates tenants seeking timely solutions. Improvements in communication, pest control measures, and security features like virtual doormen are suggested to enhance resident satisfaction and overall management quality.

Definite Pros and Cons

Pros

Great Super, location is close to lots of subways, quiet neighbors

Cons

Packages consistently stolen, have lost heat/hot water for at least a few days every year, poor response time from landlord, typical pest issues but slow response about getting an exterminator was difficult.

Advice to the owners

I think a true virtual doorman would be very useful for the package stealing control
