Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by George Lavian reflect a mixed experience. Many residents commend the convenient locations and well-maintained cleanliness, with some expressing appreciation for the responsive superintendents. However, critical feedback consistently addresses management issues, particularly regarding owner responsiveness and pest control, with several complaints about mice and cockroach infestations persisting even after requests for assistance. Renters often noted a lack of timely maintenance and communication, contributing to a perception of neglect. Overall, while the buildings have potential, prospective tenants should be mindful of management's shortcomings and pest issues.
