Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Sigbert Stowe reflect a mixed tenant experience. While the locations, especially at 159 Eastern Pkwy, are praised for convenience and spaciousness, there are recurring complaints about pest issues, thin walls contributing to noise disturbances, and challenges with neighbor relationships. Management response tends to be slow or unresponsive, often requiring tenants to rely heavily on the building super, who himself can be inconsistent in communication. Cleanliness and garbage management receive moderate ratings, and concerns about building upkeep are noted. Prospective renters should anticipate a well-located but older building with pest challenges and management that may require persistent follow-up.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Good apartment for the price

Pros

I quite enjoyed living here especially with the location. I did not have any bad pest issues as i only saw a few cockroaches when i first moved in, but i did live on a higher floor and am a tidy tentant. The butterfly entrance pad was convenient.

Cons

The walls are thin and i could hear my neighbors, especially my upstairs neighbor so beware if you are sensitive. I think my upstairs neighbor could drop a pin on the floor and i could hear it

Disgusting building with roaches, bedbugs, and smoke, in a great location

Pros

- Amazing location - Beautiful, grand old building - Big apartments for the price/neighborhood - Many neighbors are nice people - Super is helpful when you can get in touch with him and when he decides to actually come - Elevator - Decent appliances

Cons

- Super rarely responds to texts - Owner is hard to get in touch with (they never check voicemails and have no official email; emailing individual employees is usually the best bet) - Bedbugs throughout the building, neighbors are not responsible and haven't cooperated with exterminators to eliminate them for over a year now - Lots and lots of roaches - Building not kept up very well, frequently dirty common areas/basement - Anything nonessential in your unit (e.g. fridge or cabinets) will never be fixed if it breaks - People in the building smoke and it will seep through the floors - Packages often get stolen - everyone knows who the package thief is, he has relatives in the building, but nobody will do anything about it - Slow elevators - Landlord's leasing agent is dishonest - Can hear/feel the subway going by

Advice to the owners

Sell this beautiful building to someone who can actually take care of it.
