Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of Livingston Management Services properties show a mixed tenant experience. While some buildings boast clean, well-maintained units with responsive and personable staff, others suffer from severe management shortcomings. Common issues include unresponsiveness, pest infestations (rats, mice, roaches), heating failures, neglected repairs, and poor garbage management. Several tenants report unreliable elevators, noisy neighbors, and disruptive maintenance work. There are frequent complaints about opaque and exploitative rent practices. When management is attentive, buildings are safe and neighbors respectful, but overall, renters caution about inconsistent upkeep and slow resolution of problems. Prospective tenants should weigh location and amenities against potential management frustrations.

4 Years tenant

Pros

Responsive management. No problems with building overall. Very pleasant experience living here.

Cons

Hot water in the shower can be spotty. Which is weird because sink hot water is usually fine. Management response can be slow but usually no problems.
