Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by Simon Rothkrug consistently report significant concerns about heating systems, often describing units as uncomfortably cold. Garbage management is poorly handled, leading to unpleasant odors and pest infestations, including rodents and bugs. Cleanliness and pest control receive low marks, with some reports of mushrooms growing indoors. Despite some positives like spacious apartments and good water pressure, the owner’s responsiveness is generally slow and unsatisfactory. Noise levels and neighbor relations vary, with occasional disturbances noted. Renters advise investing in improved heating, better garbage disposal, and pest control to address these ongoing issues for a safer, more comfortable living environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·11 hours ago

4/10 wouldn’t recommend

Pros

The apartment is neat The bathrooms are cute The bedrooms are decent size

Cons

It’s super cold even with 2 space heaters The garbage stinks in the hallway and seldom gets taken out Only one bedroom can fit a king size bed the other can fit either a full or twin bed Nasty, NASTY rat problem There’s a drawer in the kitchen that can’t open due to the stove in the way The light switches are upside down The hanging light fixtures gets in the way of the cabinet opening The windows aren’t insulated so there’s always a draft of cold air coming in the bedrooms The landlord seldom answers the phone and when he does; it’s days after

Advice to the owners

Invest in a better heating system and put the garbage cans outside and hire someone to clean the hallway and fix the rodent issue
