Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Tara Dexter highlights significant management shortcomings, particularly regarding pest control and responsiveness. Multiple reviews report recurring infestations of rodents, bedbugs, and cockroaches, with little effective intervention from management. Garbage management and cleanliness receive mixed ratings, sometimes noted as poor or dingy. Tenants also express frustration over slow or unsympathetic responses to heating issues during winter months. Despite decent locations and some appreciation for apartment size, noise from neighbors and plumbing problems contribute to dissatisfaction. Overall, renters advise improvements in pest management and owner empathy, reflecting a general lack of confidence in the management's timely and effective support.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Rodents/ pests/ dingy

Pros

Good location but not worth the price or headache.

Cons

We had mice, bedbugs, and roaches and they kept coming back no matter what we did. The trash outside would just pile up and management would do nothing about it. Also had super noisy neighbors that would fight all the time. Could hear their conversations clear as day.

It is what it is

Pros

I liked that the location was nice and you didn’t here much going on from the street.

Cons

The pests were a problem. We had cockroaches, mice, so many flies, and at one point bed bugs were coming in. Lots of people in the building left because of bed bugs.
