Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback indicates that buildings managed by Jay Gelb boast clean environments and effective maintenance staff, particularly highlighting their superintendents. However, frequent complaints regarding management's responsiveness emerge, with many residents reporting difficulty in reaching out to the management team for urgent issues. Pest control appears to be a significant concern in certain buildings, as several tenants noted ongoing rodent problems. While the locations are generally praised, some renters advise on the need for better management practices, particularly around garbage handling and communication. Overall, prospective tenants should weigh management responsiveness against the positives of welcoming staff and desirable locations.
