Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Tara Dexter consistently highlight severe management deficiencies. Common issues include pervasive pest infestations (mice, roaches, ants), poor garbage and common area upkeep, and unaddressed maintenance problems such as heating, water, and broken entry systems. Tenants frequently report slow or absent owner responsiveness, creating a frustrating living experience despite good locations and adequate apartment layouts. Noise and security problems, including package theft and homeless individuals on premises, exacerbate dissatisfaction. While some appreciate occasional responsiveness and amenities, the overall consensus warns prospective renters to expect ongoing management challenges that undermine habitability and tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 minutes ago

TOO MANY MICE

Pros

Great location, high ceilings, solid apt layouts

Cons

Owners will take weeks to fix even urgent issues (NO DRINKABLE OR HOT WATER TOOK A WEEK+) and REPEATED MICE sightings, sometimes multiple at a time. So gross. They haunt me. Literally like living in a third world country by the end.

Advice to the owners

FIX things that are unliveable - tenants shouldn't have to live in a literal third world country.

Fine for now

Pros

I got lucky, rent stabilized unit, good natural light and laundry in unit. Super is nice and responsive, always seeing him around!

Cons

Mice and roach issues, poor water pressure, crazy neighbors and sandwiched between bars
