Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by LIVINGSTON MANAGEMENT SERVICES reveal a mixed management experience. Positives include generally good garbage management in some locations, responsive building staff or supers praised at select properties, and well-lit apartments in desirable neighborhoods. However, many tenants report poor management responsiveness especially on heating, pest control, and maintenance issues. Recurring problems include pest infestations (mice, roaches, rats), unaddressed boiler and heating failures, neglected common areas, unreliable laundry facilities, and broken elevators. Several renters cite unprofessional or slow communication from corporate management and feel undervalued, with concerns about frequent rent hikes and inconsistent policies. Overall, prospective renters should expect challenges in upkeep and responsiveness, balanced by some pleasant neighbors and prime locations.
