Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback regarding buildings managed by Nicholas LaRosa reveals significant management challenges. Tenants consistently report unresponsiveness and poor communication from management, with many complaints about ignored maintenance requests and dismissive or even hostile interactions. Common issues include persistent pest infestations, plumbing problems, and noise disturbances. While some appreciate the good location and friendly neighbors, these positives are overshadowed by poor building upkeep and ineffective pest control. Tenants advise replacing the management team and improving service responsiveness to address these ongoing concerns and foster a more livable environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Unresponsive Management / Roaches / Leaks and more

Pros

Good location, good neighbors

Cons

An online tenant portal is required to submit any work requests, these requests are all ignored. Phone calls and emails to follow up on unresolved work requests also go ignored. If you do manage to speak with a human they will dismiss your concerns, possibly become verbally abusive, and threaten you simply for trying to communicate about issues with the apartment. Worst landlord / management company I have ever experienced. The building has a roach infestation and plumbing issues that they seem to have no interest in addressing. Severely overpriced compared to other similar units in the neighborhood.

Advice to the owners

Hire a new management company

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Bad manager, Loud

Pros

Clean, good location, good ac/heat.

Cons

Nick LaRosa is difficult to get in touch with and will lie to you about things regarding your lease. Do not trust the guy, know the law around the issue your approaching him with. It’s also very loud in either side because of Myrtle on one end and construction on the other.
