Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by George Lavian reveal a mixed management experience. While the landlord is often described as responsive and attentive to quick fixes, some tenants report persistent issues such as rodent infestations and unclean common areas. Garbage management and overall building cleanliness are frequently criticized. Heating systems work well in some units but are faulty in others, and noise levels vary. Although some residents value the good neighbors and convenient locations, concerns about building maintenance (including pest control and roofing) and occasional management unresponsiveness suggest room for improvement in addressing longstanding building upkeep and communication challenges.

Charming East Village Apartment

Pros

The super has been great and very responsive for any quick fixes. The apartment has nice charm inside.

Cons

Hallways are not always the cleanest. Trash is left out from other tenants over the weekend with cans and bottles strewn around. Only paper recycling.
