Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by George Lavian reveal a mixed management experience. Some properties, especially at 68 East 1 Street, are praised for great locations, responsive live-in supers, and decent maintenance. However, pest control is a recurring issue across multiple buildings, with complaints of rodents and roaches often inadequately addressed. Communication with management tends to be inconsistent, sometimes perceived as unresponsive or even dismissive, with several renters frustrated by payment processes requiring in-person checks and poor handling of tenant concerns. Noise and safety issues are noted in certain locations, while rent increases and lease renewal challenges have also been reported. Overall, expect decent building upkeep in prime areas but be prepared for management challenges and pest problems.
