Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Craig Livingston reveal a mixed experience. Many buildings are praised for cleanliness, decent heating when working, and friendly neighbors. However, pest control is a recurring issue, with reports of cockroaches, mice, and rats affecting comfort. Garbage management and maintenance responsiveness show significant inconsistency, with some tenants frustrated by slow or absent repairs and unresolved heating or water problems. Noise levels and neighborhood safety perceptions vary widely across locations. While some renters recommend staying due to location and apartment size, others strongly criticize management for neglect, urging improvements in pest control, maintenance responsiveness, and building security to enhance tenant satisfaction.
