Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of John Cummings' buildings indicate a stark division in experiences. Many appreciate the diligent doormen and clean environments, noting responsive maintenance teams. However, significant issues arise from management's communication and pest control, with numerous tenants reporting infestations and poor owner responsiveness. While the buildings are favorably located and feature spacious layouts, concerns about high rental costs and management practices overshadow these positives. Overall, potential renters should brace for a mix of excellent staff support but possibly troublesome management and pest issues. Communicating effectively with tenants and improving pest management are key areas for management improvement.

Too Expensive for what you get

Pros

Doormen are incredible, I love all of them, they get to know you, are super helpful and make sure the building is safe. The maintenance was also pretty good, they were quick to make repairs.

Cons

Management was terrible, so hard to communicate with. They have a major rodent and pest problem. Our apartment had a massive roach problem, we saw about 20 in our time there. They were suppose to get the exterminator but we only saw him once. I was in another apartment in the building and saw a mouse. The building does not turn on the AC until June 1st, no matter the heat in may (when I was living here it went up to 100 and they didn't turn it on). They also raised my rent over $400.
