Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for Steve Croman's buildings reveals a mixed management experience. While some appreciate responsive live-in supers and well-located, clean buildings with modern features, many report chronic issues like pest infestations (mice, roaches, rats), inadequate heating, and slow or absent responses to repair requests. Package theft and building security are recurring concerns. Management is frequently criticized for unresponsiveness, disorganization, and legal non-compliance, including problematic rent increases. Tenants advise hiring more capable staff and improving communication. Prospective renters should expect variable living conditions and ongoing efforts may be needed to address maintenance and pest control challenges.
