Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Richard Rosan consistently praise the spacious units and good locations, often noting friendly neighbors and quiet streets as positives. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with reports of unaddressed pest infestations (notably roaches and rats), inconsistent or unreliable heating, maintenance delays, and poor cleanliness in common areas. Garbage management is often deemed inadequate, contributing to infestations and unsanitary conditions. Several renters note ongoing safety concerns including carbon monoxide leaks and broken building access systems. While some buildings are rent-stabilized, tenants express frustration with rent increases despite persistent upkeep issues. Overall, management is seen as neglectful and uncommunicative, detracting from residents' living experience.
