Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of Brian Garland's buildings reveal a mixed management experience. While some appreciate the strong community vibe, good locations, and responsive superintendents, many express frustration with unresponsiveness from management, particularly regarding maintenance issues and pest control. Recurring problems include rodent infestations, building upkeep, and package theft, with complaints about slow or absent communication on repairs. Tenants frequently mention outdated infrastructure alongside attempts by management to remain accommodating, though with inconsistent follow-through.

Oasis by Pratt

Pros

The location was wonderful, very tenure residents that’s help build community. The building is old but well taken care of. Having an elevator for laundry is very nice.

Cons

Limited natural light in interior units, I had mold in my ground floor studio.

Everything But the Pests

Pros

GREAT location, friendly super, felt safe, liked my neighbors, cute apartment

Cons

Roach infestation inevitable because it’s a larger building problem. I had two types of roaches and a mouse. Hopefully, it had gotten better since 2018…
