Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for SEAN LAVIN's buildings reflects a mixed management experience. Many praise the responsive and helpful superintendents who maintain cleanliness and security, contributing to a positive living environment, especially in well-kept buildings. However, there are recurring concerns regarding poor owner responsiveness, especially about pest control, heating issues, and maintenance delays. Several tenants report mice and cockroach infestations with slow or inadequate management responses. Rent increases and a lack of modern conveniences like online rent payment are also cited. While some buildings are secure and quiet with friendly neighbors, management inconsistencies can impact tenant satisfaction depending on the property.

Well Kept Building

Pros

Well kept bulling, responsive and helpful management, gate around building entrance, overall a great find for the price

Cons

no laundry in my unit, run down appliances, doors, and floor

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Quiet apt but old building

Pros

Beautiful apt, quiet, spacious unit

Cons

Had two ceiling leaks that were not fixed properly. Heating is basically just a wall mounted space heater, need to buy additional to not be freezing
